Ericsson has launched a new generation of Touchscreen smartphones that
it hopes will have a broader appeal than organisers targeted at
business users have done in the past. The two new devices, the G900 and
G700 focus on personal information management without the high end
capabilities (or size) of traditional smartphones.
The G900 has
all the functions of the G700 with the addition of a 5.0 megapixel
Touch Auto Focus camera, touch
photo album and editor. The G900 takes print-quality photos that will
be easily in focus. The camera lets you frame your shot and decide
where you want to focus simply by touching the screen. The G700 has
only a 3.2 megapixel camera.
Both phones have a regular sized keyboard in addition to the touch
screen capability on the 2.4-inch display. "Sony Ericsson is delivering
touchscreen and innovative organiser
capabilities to a wide audience without compromising on the size or
shape of the phone," says Martin Winkler, Director
Global Marketing and Head of Multimedia Web at Sony Ericsson.
"These
phones are ideal for users that are only interested in making their
lives simpler. It's not about technology for the sake of it," he said.
Calendaring is a key function of both phones, but a touch controlled
Notes application that allows you to write and draw memo's that can be
pasted to the phone's desktop is an innovation that will appeal to some.
With the G700 you can enjoy touchscreen text input, Web surfing,
calendar and phone navigation. Want to contact someone at home? Just
touch the relevant name in your phonebook and all of the various
contact options will appear onscreen. It's instantly intuitive
messaging. You can even browse your photo album using the tip of your
finger. The G700 also has dedicated keys for messaging, notes and a key
lock on the side of the phone. All it takes is one press to unlock.
Got a moment to surf? Access your favourite Web pages when you're in a
Wi-FiTM hotspot and view them on the large 2.4" display. Use the stylus
or your finger to zoom-in or pan around the page. When you've barely
got a moment to spare, get RSS feeds direct to your phone for the
latest updates; news, football scores or whatever you are in to.
Touch, type or write... Everything comes naturally with the G900.
Organise your schedule, touch and tap to make calls and jot down notes
before you forget it. The G900 works your way to let you get more into
your day. It's the power of personal touch.
The G700 will launch in Silk Bronze and the G900 will launch in Dark
Red and Dark Brown. Both are UMTS 2100 and GSM/GPRS 900/1800/1900
phones that will be available in selected markets from Q2 2008.
