Sony Ericsson and Google today announced that they have worked closely together to integrate Google's Blogger and Web Search features on Sony Ericsson mobile phones. The two companies are the first in the industry to provide a pre-loaded blog application with a tight integration to the mobile camera and intuitive automatic set-up for consumers who do not already have a personal blog. The first Sony Ericsson products to offer the new service are the recently announced K610 UMTS phone and new flagship imaging handsets, the K800 and K790a, announced today and available in Q2 2006.
Integrating Blogger and Google Web Search in the Sony Ericsson handsets will provide a completely new experience for consumers. Icons leading to Google Web Search have been integrated into the phones user interface to provide easy access to the information that Google Web Search can provide.
Additionally, commencing today Google will become the standard search engine for all new Sony Ericsson Internet-capable phones. It has been tightly integrated into the phone's web experience with multiple intuitive access points. For instance, users can directly activate a Google Web Search option from whichever page they are viewing without the need to launch a new web page to complete a search. With one click, users will be able to quickly and easily access the information they need.

Sounds like a great way to ride the blogging phenom. The phones look great without the blog application. This makes them even better!

i doubt this will have much of an effect on blogging and flickr. these phones are going to cost an arm and a leg. the only people who are going to buy one are those with lots of money to spare or those who need a phone to complement their blogging with photos.
the vast majority of users wont be able to afford these phones.

I have no evidence but from past experience I would say $300+ with a service agreement. That's usually what the top phones cost. Remember when the RAZR first came out on Cingular? Hah. Now the thing is free.
