I was just reading the press release on yesterday's announcement. In the notes section it mentions promotional partners that are returning to the Bond franchise, including (I will list them as follows)
Aston Martin
Bollinger
Heineken
Jaguar Land Rover
Omega
Sony Electronics
Sony Mobile
There's a pretty good chance Fiat can be added to the list, given the media reports regarding the Rome shoot.
Please feel free to add to the list, post links to articles/videos concerning product placement in SPECTRE, or just comment on product placement in general.

I would be surprised if they would be a major partner given how FoMoCo has blocked everything out over the last few films (although the notable exception of Fiat Group's Alfa Romeos in QoS of course)

Hornby to sell James Bond Spectre merchandise
http://www.theguardian.com/business/2014/dec/05/hornby-james-bond-spectre-merchandise
Disappointed. They suck.
Let's be honest - if the Bond universe were real without the product placement necessary to make a film, 007 and the team would all use iPads, iMacs and iPhones.
I'm not sure...my father worked for the MOD...and I think they would be Windows based.
Apple's have only recently become 'mainstream'....(But then their security is better...so I could be wrong)
MacBooks are good equipment, but due to the fact that besides graphic designers, music producers etc, also a terrible group of people is using them(mostly hipsters and kids who have wealthy parents, just to show off - they're usually not able to fully benefit from Apple products) they will never include these in a 007 movie. The other thing is that the iOS is barely configurable in comparison to a Windows laptop or an Android phone. Bond would probably use a Dell, but I bet that either the VAIO Pro's are going to make appearance (the last ultrabook that was sold by Sony, I have one and it's definitely a good piece of machinery) or the new VAIO Corporation hardware will take the part.
As for the XPERIA's - I have the XPERIA T for two years now - never let me down and I'm very proud of it. Especially that the display has not cracked once, despite the fact that it met hard ground a couple of times. I'm looking forward to the next Bond phone.
Me too re the Exp T, great phone and totally underrated !
1. CR. 2. TSWLM. 3. LTK. 4. GF. 5. SF.
ooooh... are you allowed to say what?
And a psychotherapists office.... mmmmm :v
Best not at this stage ...
They are logical for the scene ...
Of course.... how exciting!
Keep us posted... when you can
Looks like you could get yourself some genuine props !
They do Tablets still though???
The XPERIA brand does, Sony VAIO ceased it's existence as it was bringing loses. From July 2014 there is a new company called VAIO Corporation, which is currently selling laptops for the Japan market only. Sony owns 5% of the shares so there is a chance they will make the cut in the movie.

Belvedere Is Making Sure That James Bond Will Actually Drink A Vodka Martini In The New 'Spectre' Movie
http://uk.businessinsider.com/belvedere-vodka-partners-james-bond-spectre-2014-12?r=US
Also I've heard a rumor that Mr Craig hates Polish people - if that were true I'm sure he wouldn't let choose Belvedere to be a Bond brand.
Time to change my mind I guess and check one of these out!
From N.Peal website. "The film is to be called SPECTRE and naturally Bond has chosen a couple of N.Peal cashmere styles to wear in the film."

A follow on piece about Belvedere vodka and Bond's cocktail
( as first posted by Moore Than )
Really? OMG...these rumours are SO ridiculous!!
Would love to know the context....hate is such a strong word....Craig is not that stupid.
By some troll as a joke. 8-)
...it was probably started when Craig was staring in Defiance...and the fact that the film was deemed anti Polish
Completely taken out of context and twisted.
Mind you, I blame the idiots who believe this tosh, then spread it around

A view to a sell: will Spectre's brands get the traditional Bond boost?

Blofeld is Polish - born in Gdynia.
Yes, I believe I heard it back then! Well, hopefully it's a rumour, I know there are some actors like Burt Reynolds who once said that you can "fart out" the Polish anthem. So it would be deeply deppressing if one day I will meet Mr Craig, tell him I'm one of the biggest fans from Poland and he will immediately leave or something... He seems very grounded in the interviews so I hope he's a normal guy but you never know.
As for the Polish vodka Bond prefers Polish & Russian vodka in the novels so I guess it's a perfect match, especially that Smirnoff is nothing what it was back in 2008, Smirnoff Black is not a premium vodka anymore with a price tag of less than 10 pounds.
