Sony Ericsson today announced the G705 – as expected – and also a special Orange-branded variant of it, called G705u, which is Sony Ericsson’s first phone to support UMA, which gives you the ability to make calls via the regular cellular networks as well as LAN networks. Pretty neat.
I believe we’ve already mentioned the spefications of G705 quite a few times, so I’ll just mention the most important ones again. 2.4 inch display (QVGA resolution), HSDPA/HSUPA (HSUPA for the American model), WLAN with support for DLNA, GPS with support for aGPS, FM radio with RDS, NetFront browser, A2 platform, 3.2 mega pixel fixed focus camera. A 1 GB memory card comes bundled. It is essentially a C905 with added HSUPA, but without the excellent camera. Sony Ericsson didn’t fail to add a few extra goodies, though. Sony Ericsson also today announced a new partnership with Google, meaning that you’ll be able to download and upload videos from and to YouTube directly from the G705. This feature will not be exclusive to the G705, and it’ll also be added in future models, and hopefully also current models.
The G705 will be available in Silky Gold and Majestic Black variants in early Q4 – that’s soon! The American model supporting the faster HSUPA networks will be available in Q1. The G705u will be available in early Q4 as well in Luminous Black.
Now… where can you find more on this phone? Well, SE-community posted a rather large gallery of this baby, and I can assure you it looks good. Find it over here. Not only did they settle with posting a gallery, though, so you can also find two videos on YouTube showing the phone and its user interface. I’ll probably post some of the official press pictures later on, but I’ll leave you with this for now as I’m loaded with school assignments at the moment.
