Loading ...Sony Ericsson F305 is for fun and games
The Sony Ericsson F305 is Sony Ericsson’s first Motion Gaming-enabled phone. Or well, no, that’s actually not true, but it’s the first to go by that name in particular. It’s a quad-band GSM phone with support for EDGE network speeds.
This low/mid-level phone sports some rather cool gaming features. The three pre-loaded games - Bowling, Bass fishing & Jockey - will enable you to use movements to play the game. Say, you load up the bowling game - how do you play it? Simply imitate the movement of the bowling ball throw with the F305, and you’ll be playing the game. Simple, isn’t it? It’s a bit like the concept behind Nintendo Wii, although I find it hard to believe this will work just as great as the Wii does. Other than the special gaming features, the F305 offers a set of PlayStation-like gaming keys just above the display, as well as a shortcut key to your games. If you’re in the middle of a game, but the battery is running low (meaning you’ve played almost 8 hours!), you can quickly plug in the battery Power Pack CCP-100 (extra accessory), and you can play for hours again. That’s actually a rather clever accessory, and I hope it’ll be available for other phones, although there’s a chance that won’t happen.
F305 features loud stereo speakers on the back of it, making your gaming experience even better. If you feel like challenging a friend of yours in a match, you can do this via Bluetooth on some games.
F305 has got a decent music player capable of playing the most standard audio compression codecs, including the über-compressed eAAC+ codec. The phone memory is a bit limited though at only 10 megabytes, so you’ll have to expand the memory with a Memory Stick Micro card. Your music can then be transfered via a USB connection. You can stream your music wireless in stereo, as the phone features the Bluetooth A2DP profile. You can also have a listen to the radio with the built-in FM radio, and recognize the music playing with TrackID.
The display on the front of this Polar White or Mystic Black phone is a 2-inch large TFT display with a resolution of 176 x 220 pixels, and up to 262.144 colours. While the resolution isn’t exactly excellent, it’ll make the rendering of 3D games quicker, and more games are available for phones of this screen resolution.
The F305 measures a good 96 x 47 x 14.6 millimetres, and weighs in at just 97.5 grams, making it a bit heavier than it actually looks. F305 will be out in selected markets in Q3 this year. We expect the price tag to be relatively low, considering this is a low/mid-end phone.
The F305 will be officially announced on Tuesday 17th.

Michell,
Is the “F” serie for Fun?
and do you think the future hypothetical F905 will be the psp phone we are waiting?
Yes, I believe it stands for fun. F905? That would be anyone’s guess at the moment, I suppose
mmm.
nice… very nice.
but isn’t the landscape screen up side down… i mean.. the landscape screen should… you know…
or it’s because of the mistake in the 3D render.
@chombos1: If you think about a PlayStation controller, the d-pad is always on the left. So this phone which is kind of mimicking a PlayStation controller has to rotate that way to get the d-pad on the left!
@Mizzle: Can we then expect more games to be released taking advantage of these gaming features? I know I was pretty disappointed with the range of accelerometer games for my W910i. And even games that can be played landscape are pretty rare. I would really like to see more released!
The only -ve is the 176×220 resolution. Otherwise, the phone looks pretty cool!
Muhummad-Oli,
Yes, more games are coming from Gameloft
Good to hear, though Gameloft haven’t been up to their usual standards lately. I hope Digital Chocolate gets in on this.

[...] The Sony Ericsson F305 is Sony Ericsson’s first Motion Gaming-enabled phone. These shots recently popped up on unofficial Sony Ericsson blog site. The Sony Ericsson F305 is a quad-band GSM phone with EDGE data speeds. This is a mid-level phone whose claim to fame is gaming features. There will be three pre-loaded games - bowling, Bass fishing & Jockey. The games aren’t the attraction though - it’s how you can play them. The Sony allows for you to control the game through the motion of the phone (similar to a Wii controller). There is an included music player and rear facing stereo speakers.

[...] Sony Ericsson is having some trouble keeping upcoming announcements under wraps. Above is the Sony Ericsson F305 Gaming Phone, a quad-band GSM phone. It has EDGE, a Memory Stick Micro slot, a 2 inch 176×220 display, music playback, an accelerometer for gaming, and gaming dedicated buttons. Nevertheless, gaming phones have never really taken off, probably because they lack the hardware to perform as well as users would like. Read more here! [...]

yep 200 in Australia. im buying it in 2 dayss =]
In Ireland in carphone warehouse its 99 euro:P
does this phone come on telstra prepaid???
I just bought one and I think I bought a headache, once the games’ softwares play slow, with a big delay between the command and the action and, sometimes, the phone tilt’s and has to be reinitiated.
Positive points for the motion games (funny and don’t get stuck) and the other functions of the mobile!
In Brazil, R$599,00. Something about US$250,00.
its cost is rs.8000-8200..
i alreadybuy……quite good…but wer 2 download games….n will f305 can ply psp games?

plzzzzzzzzz help me sirrrrrrrrrrrrrr, any dearrrrrrrr plzzzzzzzzzzzzz
@Lynn
Yeah it would be a nice choice for gaming phone, and the style and look rocks, 5stars to the phone.
i bought the new sony ericsson f305, but i am not completely satisfied with its performance as it don’t support themes and sometimes its graphics become defragmented. but it has a nice sound and picture quality.
i heared from some website, i don’t remember the name, containing that these mobiles are not origionally made up by sony ericsson but rather from SAGEM, which has made many mobiles in collaboration with Sony Ericsson and at last S.E has announced it with its name.
all the other sony ericsson phones support themes and this is the only one which is not doing so.
thats the main reason on which i want to drag the attention of the visitors and users.
wanna reply:
Rafi_Suk@ymail.com is waiting for your responce.
http://www.zedge.net is a awesome site for mobiles.
i am using this since past 2 years.
but unfortunality, it only shows wallpapers for sony ericsson f305.
bad luck 2 all n me.
plzzz dont buy this phone…. only buy it if you are a good gamer… the camera is of no good quality.. and also it wont zoom… themes cannot be changed… usb cable not provided with the phone…. maximum 30 msgs storage….
hi friends
Dont buy this. tomuch of hanging from the 1 day . low resolution, poor battery backup, there is no special in the motion gaming.
… there is no auto-tune function when searching for new radio channels … and only 10 radio station frequencies can be saved in memory … why ?
please dont buy this this phone sucks
by the way most disapointing is tat sony said this phone is 4 game lovers unfortunetly f 305 doesnt supports game which size is above 400 kb
i bet there will be an F305i which will support themes and all kinds of games
hai friends ;
I really hate this phone ..its really bad
this are the following reasons;
1.it does not support themes
2.no support pc suite
3.not support jar software/games above 500kb
4 . we cannot update the software.
5.bad camera and displsy
uselless phone;;waste of money
Sony ericsson f305 is an excellent gadget I ever used.
good looking but i ned more information
hey! I just got a f305 and i would like to now how can i put my already download music into my phone?
This good phone
f 305 is gud for muzik & games bt having less function in comparison other sony” sets no themes changing, Hanging problem etc.
Other than the display, everything else is fine. Out of 10 mths i have kept my phone at the servixce centre for 7 mths. i suppo they will change my media stick
