Sony Ericsson in Japan is once again ready with yet another multimedia phone. This time it’s the Sony Ericsson SO706i for NTT DoCoMo - a rather stylish Japanese phone targeted at the female audience.
It features a whopping 2.8 inch widescreen TFT display at a resolution of 240 x 427 pixels. What could that large screen be used for? Mobile TV, browsing the web, checking out the Eiffel Tower in Paris with Google Maps or taking photos with the built-in 2 mega pixel camera (with auto focus, that is).
The SO706i is also a rather light phone for the Japanese market - or so it seems - as it only weighs 98 grams. It measures 105 x 49 x 13.4 millimetres, so it’s rather thin as well.
SO706i will be out in Japanese NTT DoCoMo shops on July 4, retailing at about 40,000 Japanese yen - equivalent to about $380 or 240 Euros.

I just read an article about Mobile Future conference in Stockholm some days ago, where Ericsson’s Bengt Stavenow was talking about the future of Sony Ericsson and its features. I’ll just do a short round up for you guys.
- All Sony Ericsson phones have focus on cost, battery time and size. If a phone doesn’t have a certain feature, it could be because it hasn’t been “compatible” with one of these three things.
- Phones with more networks supported (all in up) will come soon
- 100 Mbps network speed within few years, whereas we’ve got up to 7.2 Mbps HSDPA today.
- More megapixels, but optical zoom will be required for good image quality in a near future.
- Mobile TV is in the works - but what’s important is not what technology that’ll be used, it’s that the consumer gets the TV (streamed) to his phone. This could be a sign of SE finally choosing DVB-H instead of MBMS, which uses 3G.
- Usability and ease of use is important - users must be able to do things with a single click - like saving your camera pictures or sending them off in a MMS.
- “Design is king” and “no technology carries its own weight”, he concluded.

W54S is a very cool Japanese Sony Ericsson phone that was announced recently. It was announced as a part of the Japanese KDDI network’s rather large announcement of its new range of phones (8 new phones were announced).
The W54S has a 3.2 megapixel camera with auto focus, and it supports MicroSD memory cards when the 1 gigs of intern memory is up, and you want to store more pictures, music and videos. Its display is a massive 2.8 inch OLED display with a full 240 x 400 pixels resolution. Nice! It’s also got a DMB reciever and supports CDMA EVDO Rev A.
It measures 50 x 106 x 19 millimeters and weighs in at 146 grams. Not the lightest phone ever, I must say! However this is pretty normal for higher spec’d Japanese phones. It comes in three colors; Aqua Blue, Fromboise Red and Velvet Black. Personally I like the blue and black edition, which is rather uncommon for me to like the design of a Japanese phone 
You can check out a whole lot of pictures at JUSTAMP.
