Sony Ericsson opens first retail store in London

Sony Ericsson has today officially opened its first retail store, which you'll find in Kensington High Street, London.

The store covers 3,500 square feet, with the focal point being a central bar that runs the length of the store, which allows potential purchasers to try out "live" handsets - so you can snap away with one of the Cybershot or listen to a few tunes on the Walkman handsets. Which might be a good way of keeping warm and busy when the cold weather kicks in.

There's also specially trained staff to talk you through the latest kit - and of course, you can buy it, along with accessories and cards for your handset, via a deal with Carphone Warehouse, which is running the store. Other stores in "key cities" are to follow.
