Sony Ericsson G700 preview

The G700 is Sony Ericsson’s cheapest smart phone to date, and it’s probably also the nicest one to use. Is it a bargain or a failure? You can read our preview of the G700 to find out
PS. It’s not a failure…
Linda has been a known codename for quite some time now, but until now we really haven’t had any phones to match with the codename. Now, a bunch of photos of the upcoming W595 - W580 successor - leaked on Journaldugeek.
The Sony Ericsson G700 is Sony Ericsson’s cheapest smart phone to date, and probably also the last Sony Ericsson phone to be making use of the UIQ user interface. It’s not necessarily marketed as being a smart phone, but rather being a smart feature phone.
Sony Ericsson recently selected Swedish mobile games developer and publisher GlobalFun as one of its two official content acquisition partner for the upcoming PlayNow Arena and Fun & Downloads services.
The T610 was one of Sony Ericsson’s first smash hits, and many will argue that this single phone model marked a turning point for the company. Five years after its release, it looks like Sony Ericsson is about ready with a remake of this ever-popular handset.
The G900 and its sibling, G700, represent a new kind of Sony Ericsson smart phone products, that don’t look or feel like a smart phone, yet perform and deliver as one would expect a smart phone to do. These G’s are targeted at the normal everyday consumer, who wants a little extra something from his phone, while still keeping the price low.

PhoneArena just published their preview of the upcoming Sony Ericsson C905 with the great 8 mega pixel camera on the back.
The preview isn’t that long, but there’s a really nice collection of photos and two 360 degree views, where you can really see how great the shiny back looks. Looks a bit like chrome, doesn’t it? Perhaps it is! Also included in the preview are some camera samples, and they’re - as you expected - the results of the best mobile camera out there, even in its early prototype stages. The C905 can easily knock out a mediocre compact camera once it’s released, I’ll bet you on that.
You can find the preview right here.
[thanks, Tim!]

The guys at GSMArena have already had their hands on the new Sony Ericsson C905, and have today published a rather large preview of this camera king. In the review, you’ll find tons of beautiful photos as well as loads of well-written paragraphs about the phone. It’s most definitely worth a look.

I’ve just finished writing up my first large-scale preview, debuting with a C702 preview. Here’s the excerpt for ya’:
The Sony Ericsson C702 is the new junior Cyber-shot phone, featuring a decent 3.2 mega pixel camera with auto focus and face detection, as well as a revamped user interface compared to the K550, which seems to be its predecessor. When announced, the C702 was offically the first GPS-enabled phone by Sony Ericsson, adding the ability to geo-tag your photos, when connected to GPS satelites. To further enhance the C702’s camera abilities, Sony Ericsson got the C702 IP54-certified, meaning it is more or less dust proof and splash resistant from all angles. This will enable photography enthusiasts to take photos in more extreme conditions than previously possible.
Read the full preview right here.
Note: This is not a review, but a preview based on about 26 hours with the C702. I will not be posting a review of C702, so you’ll have to do with this.

It has been on the market since this Monday: The new touch-and-go UIQ3 smart phone G900, a powerful package of WLAN, 5MP camera with Auto- & Touch-Focus as well as a photo light and a 2.4″ touch screen combined with a regular keypad to bring UIQ to the mass market.


The G900 you can see here is my little precious since Tuesday and it does great so far. The Dark Brown colour really suites it well. The QVGA display is bright and clear and a breeze to handle. I won’t give that much away for now as we’ll post an in-depth review of the G900, once Sony Ericsson sends us the review phone.
I’ll leave you with impressions of the new menu icons, the media menu and the new panels standby.





The G900 is available nearly everywhere now, pricing is set around £275 / 350 € / $525.

In a recently published article at Mobile-review.com, editor in chief Eldar Murtazin takes a look at his G702 prototype, running UIQ 3.3. In the article he covers most areas of concern, and there are lots of nice photos included in the article.
If you have not read it yet, I’d suggest you to head over to Mobile-review, and check it out now.

Our good friends over at Mobile Review have published a preview of the much talked about Paris. There are plenty of screenshots and M-R promises that new spy pictures will be leaked soon. An interesting tidbit to come out of the preview is that Paris will retail for 400 euros. Head over to M-R to read the preview.
