Sony Ericsson takes touchscreen mainstream with two phones set to simplify your life
10 February 2008
The new G700 and G900 phones are designed to give back time. They place personal organiser features and easy finger-touch control within familiar form factors.
Barcelona, Spain – 10th February 2008 – Sony Ericsson today launched a new generation of phone: Touchscreen organisers with a broad appeal. The G700 and G900 phones are essential tools designed to organise the lives of all those with busy schedules to juggle, both at home and at work.
- The G700 is here to help you live your life to the full. This personal organiser in-your-pocket keeps your contacts, calendars, notes, pictures and favourite Web sites all in one place and just a fingertip away. Touch and go.
- The G900 has all the functions of the G700 with the added features of a unique new 5.0 megapixel Touch Auto Focus camera, touch photo album and editor. Perfect for those looking for a one-touch media experience combined with their organiser.
“Sony Ericsson is delivering touchscreen and innovative organiser capabilities to a wide audience without compromising on the size or shape of the phone. Both the G700 and G900 have regular keyboards and are no larger than a regular 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.”
Sony Ericsson G700 phone
- One-touch full organiser functions
- Touch controlled Notes application - write and draw your memo's
- Large 2.4" display with unique single touch control menu
- 3,2 megapixel camera
- Compact size
Calendar is King
Access your calendar, reach family and friends and scribble and save your notes on your phone. With the G700, you can jot down a note on the screen with a stylus, just as you would with a pen on paper, and save it on your phone’s desktop to remind you - just as you’d stick a note on the fridge. You can even draw a map to the local shop or doodle personal notes to send them to your loved ones! Holding everything that is important to you wherever you go, the G700 is the most natural way to manage life. There’s no longer a need to have your home calendar separate from work – it works with you, the way you do.
Intuitively simple
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.
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.

Quite!
The G700 is a nice no-nonsense phone but looks a bit conservative to most - I would imagine. I was impressed with the UI.

So you will be treating yourself then?
I'll be waiting to see whats announced next month, for the time being my K850i is doing quite well.
I really want to have a go at the UI as I wasn't overly impressed with the one on the P990i. |

Apparently the G900 will be out before the G700 for some reason. If the G900 camera is not improved from the proto, the G700 would be better plus it has easy access memory card. |

I heard the G700 has no edge? Can this be true?
My phone: K550i FS, W610i main (Cybershot-walkman),
W880i audio drivers, MHQ beta cam drivers,
Modded menu (icons, structure - I have a new shortcut menu),
Flash menus. |
