Sony-Ericsson G750

The G750 in the new handset from Sony-Ericsson designed for the internet generation in mind.

To start the G750 is a sliding quad-band handset with GSM UMTS 2100, GPRS, EDGE HSDPA data, plus WiFi, Bluetooth and USB connectivity at heart.

If you compare its camera to the likes of handsets such as the C905 there is competition but the 3.2 megapixels that it does offer with LED flash is not half bad.

Geotaging of photographs is possible but more importantly the video clips and images taken can be directly uploaded to ‘You Tube’ instantly.

The G705 sports a nice QVGA (240 x 320 pixel) screen capable of displaying 262,000 colours but surprisingly unlike other phones on the market this is not touch-sensitive.

Its redeeming factor to this is that the G705 offers auto screen rotation (Accelerometer) that works even in a browser, a real handy feature when you are out on foot and in desperate need of ‘Google Maps’, yet another element it supports.

The G705 also has an email client, and can support Microsoft ActiveSync and instant messaging.

As standard with most handsets there is a media player and FM radio at hand, in addition to the usual array of Sony-Ericsson multimedia enhancements.

Weighting in at just 98 grams and measuring 95 x 47 x 14.3 mm, the G705 provides up to 4 hours talk time and 14 days standby time on 3G or 10 hours talk time and 16 days standby time on GSM.

With a 1GB memory card as standard in the box, the G705 is most certainly one well equipped handset.

The G705 will be available in "Silky Gold" and "Majestic Black" and is due for release in Q4 2008.

Xperia-day looms closer

Yes I’m back again with some more exclusive phone news.

Once again it’s the Sony-Ericsson Xperia that has been hot on the lips of everyone, with rumours flying about all over the web about its planned release.

Lucky for me Sony-Ericsson came in to provide the inside scoop on their new phone.

Contrary to popular belief the X1 will not be release in January, an error made on the Se-store site drove everyone into a panic but the truth is the X1 will be due for release in October.

So all of you Sony-Ericsson fans can breathe a sigh of relief everything is still on schedule and wow are you guys in store for a great phone!

The features are amazing and unlike the prototype I tested in June this is much faster and slicker phone.

It will offer a more robust level of operating system with Windows 6.1 at hand allowing copy and paste functionality pop/IMAP, auto complete email addressing and great deal more.

The nine customisable shortcut panels distinctive to the X1 will allow access your work instantly by just a touch of the screen and with just over six hours talk time at hand you will enjoy this phone to max.

One of the best features of the X1 has to be the support, unlike other handset where you by the phone and problems have to relayed to the retailer or phone operator, X1 buyers will be privy to a dedicated 24hour support team to assist their needs.

Not bad but that’s not all! Customers will also benefit from travel support, where for a limited period your X1 handset can be exchanged if inoperable, wherever in the world you may be (most countries).

The X1 has destined to make a big impact on the phone market, going way beyond anything ever seen before.

Have a look at the new X1 video (excuse the subtitles) to see it action for yourself.
