Berlin, Germany, 14th June 2007. Two new products announced today from Sony Ericsson will help you keep your life in shape when on-the-move.
The K530 is a slim 3G phone
that gives full and fast access to the Web, plus performance imaging
with a 2 megapixel camera and a variety of news, weather and
entertainment features. It will even give you the weather forecast.
It's also the first phone to be compatible with the new GPS Enabler
HGE-100, also announced today, which plugs into the phone to turn it
into your own personal satellite navigation system.
"If
like me you're amazed how useful ‘SatNav' is and wonder how you
ever managed without it, then the idea of having a GPS-enabled phone,
just for those moments when you need it, is fantastic," says
Yuting Xu, K530 Product Manager at Sony Ericsson. "Plug
the GPS Enabler into your K530 and you have your own personal
SatNav. Because the HGE-100 doubles up as your phone's stereo
headset, it means that you can have a GPS-enabled phone, just when
you need it. So as you will see with the K530, there is no
compromising on the size of the phone."
The K530 3G phone
-
The Web on the go Full and fast access to what the Web has to offer, with a full Web browser
- Compact communications Push email in a 14mm slim, 3G performer. With 2 megapixel camera
- Find me, direct me Interactive navigation with the GPS Enabler HGE-100
Accessible
3G
The most affordable 3G phone from Sony Ericsson yet, the
K530 will keep you in-touch and on-track wherever you are. Its
slim, pocket-sized form factor means you can take it with you
anywhere and enjoy the full 3G experience. This means that you
can visit your favorite Web sites and enjoy news and entertainment,
upload pictures to your blog site and have the latest news pushed to
your phone via RSS Feeds. There's also push email so you can
stay on top of your office inbox while on the go. See who you're
talking to and let them see you. Use video call.
Your
all-weather friend
You need never be caught out by the
weather again, whether you're planning a picnic, a jog round the
park or a trip to the races. The K530 comes preloaded with a
version of Weather Access, a weather forecast application that gives
you a three-day outlook for free, with unlimited access time.
Find
your way
The K530 is the perfect partner for the GPS Enabler
HGE-100. However you're traveling - on foot, cycle, car or bus
- just plug in the HGE-100 and let it find your way and direct you
with dynamic voice instructions, delivered through the stereo
headset. When used with the GPS Enabler, the K530 will also keep you
on-track with your fitness training. As a phone and accessory
combination, the two can record speed and distance, and also provide
visual post-training analysis on the good-sized 2" screen. The
K530's media player will ensure that you always have your favorite
songs with you when training.
Shoot, blog,
share
The 2 megapixel camera on the K530 boasts a x2.5
digital zoom and video recording capabilities. With support for
picture blogging, you can snap and share magic moments instantly.
Upload your pictures to your blog site at 3G speeds to keep your
friends and family posted. There's 16MB onboard storage,
enough for you to build-up your own photo album of personal
favorites. As your photo and music libraries grow, so can the K530's
memory, thanks to support for Memory Stick Micro
(M2).
Goodbye to boredom
The K530 is
so versatile it looks good anywhere, from the bar to the boardroom.
Whether as a work tool or your social organiser, it opens up a true
Web browsing experience at broadband-speed. There's an FM
Radio and Java games engine for those spare moments, or you can
download and buy music on-the-go with PlayNow.
You can even identify those songs you don't know with TrackID,
the music recognition service that has proven so popular with users
on the Walkman® phone range.
The K530 is a UMTS 2100 and
GSM/GPRS 900/1800/1900 phone and is available in Warm Silver in
selected markets from Q3 2007.
The HGE-100 GPS Enabler
-
Find your way - Navigation with voice and text
commands
-
Stay on track - ‘Tracker' GPS sports application
records training sessions and analyses performance
-
Add flexibility - Compatible with many Sony Ericsson phones. Plugs in and doubles as
a stereo portable handsfree.
The HGE-100 is the first personal GPS
navigator that is built-in to a Stereo Portable Handsfree. This gives
you the flexibility to decide when you want GPS on your phone. Plug
it into your phone when you wish, use it as a handsfree to control
calls and music or switch to GPS mode when you want to find your way.
Find yourself anywhere
However you are travelling,
the HGE-100 will navigate you anywhere thanks to the navigation
solution which is included with the product. You can choose between
voice or text commands, and it's simple to navigate the graphical,
icon-based display. It can save destinations so that you don't have
to repeat your commands if you go somewhere more than once, and you
can search your destination by address, person, company and even
local points of interest.
Keep on track
Use the GPS
Enabler as your personal trainer by using the ‘Tracker' GPS sports
application installed within the HGE-100. It monitors your speed,
distance, route and calorie burn, recording and analysing data so you
can monitor your progress. Because the HGE-100 gives you full control
of your phone's media player, you can enjoy music or the radio while
working out and, if your run takes you further than you intended, you
can always navigate your way back home if you need to.
A
great team player
Flexible, lightweight and comfortable, the
GPS Enabler HGE-100 is the perfect partner for the new Sony Ericsson
K530 3G phone, also announced today. There is a universal 3.5mm
connector half way up the cord, so you can switch headphones for
different environments if you want to. The HGE-100 is compatible with
a host of recent
Sony Ericsson phones, including the popular K800
Cyber-shot phone.
The GPS Enabler HGE-100 will
be available in selected markets from Q3 2007.
