Latest Additions To The Demo Tours – C702, C902, G700 & G900

Monday, May 19th, 2008

Sony Ericsson has just released a set of new demo tours. This means that the total demo tour portfolio now includes the tough C702, the stylish personal organiser G700 and the multifunctional G900. This also means that these phones are about ready to be shipped. Once again – it’s impossible not to be impressed by Sony Ericsson’s remarkable skills when it comes to these videos… wow.

The C702 features a built-in GPS used for geotagging your 3.2 mega pixel camera snaps, as well as finding your way in the city with Google Maps and WayFinder.

C902 is C702’s big brother, and it features a 5 mega pixel camera with auto focus and face recognition, as well as lots of other exciting features. All this in a slim phone.

G700 is your ever-trusty personal organiser with a simple 3 mega pixel camera with fixed focus, a graphically impressive user interface, and a very compact format.

G900 is the absolute flagship of Sony Ericsson’s smart phones at the moment. It features a 5 mega pixel camera with selective touch focus (hot!), the same impressive user interface as G700 and in a similar compact format.

By the way – my next shipment of review phones will include the C902, G900 and W760. I’m hoping to get these within a few weeks, so I’ll have plenty of free time to review them.

GSMArena Previews The G502

Friday, April 25th, 2008

The lucky GSMArena team has had its hands on the recently announced G502, and has posted a nice preview of this black beauty. They like the user interface, the usability and its nice looks, but aren’t that impressed with its lack of advanced features. A full review will be posted in a few weeks, so in the meantime you can check out the preview here.

Revealing Sony Ericsson G502

Monday, April 21st, 2008

Sony Ericsson will be announcing the G502, previously known by the codename Emelie, on Wednesday 23rd April – well, that doesn’t keep us from revealing it already! G502 is a fancy-looking candy bar phone in the style of K530, but with a clean black design, that feels a bit inspired by the land of Japan.

The front of this black jewel plays host to a 2 inch large TFT display of QVGA resolution, capable of showing upto 262.144 colours.

The G502 is a HSDPA-enabled phone targeted at the business & youth segment with support Exchange Activesync and built-in Google Maps for Mobile. The phone is supposedly ready for Web 2.0 with the built-in Access NetFront web browser, and it shall be easy to set up e-mail accounts on it by using the e-mail wizard. RSS feeds can be displayed on the standby screen, as on other A2-based feature phones.

It will feature a 2 mega pixel fixed focus camera on the back with 4x digital zoom and video recording possibilites. Apart from that, G502 features Bluetooth 2.0 + EDR as well as USB 2.0 support.

Its dimensions will be 109 x 46 x 13.5 millimetres, and it’ll weigh in at 83.5 grams. It has 32 MB internal memory, and it can be expanded by Memory Stick Micro cards.

G502, which is a tri-band GSM phone with EDGE support, will hit selected markets in Q2 this year, and will be available in two colour trimmings; Brilliant Hazel & Champagne Black.

We’ve got a question for you, Sony Ericsson. Why not make a change, and put UIQ on this phone instead of the A2 software platform?

Other than that, well, I guess you saw this first on USEB :-)

Video – G Series Demo

Monday, February 25th, 2008

It’s arguably easy to overlook the G series in the midst of Xperia being announced and the news that Cybershot handsets would use the new C series designation. However, they really are worth a look as I was reminded by this video. The G900 in particular comes across as a nice little device, sporting a 5 MP camera and Wi-Fi as it does. The G700 is no slouch either although it does lack Wi-Fi, but still packs a respectable 3.2 MP camera. Neither handset is as powerful as the X1, and yet there is something about them that strikes me as being useful and yet simple at the same time.
