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.”

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.

Sony Ericsson G900 phone

* 5.0 megapixel camera with touch Auto focus and Multi-shot function

* One- touch media and organiser menu

* Large 2.4" display with single touch control menu

Print-quality photos to keep

The G900’s 5.0 megapixel camera lets you take print-quality photos and share them with friends and family straight away.

Frame your shot and decide where you want to focus the camera by simply touching the screen. Also, with Camera Multi-Shot, hold down the camera key and take as many pictures as you like. Great for taking photos of your kids as they dash around the garden! Scroll through all of the photos on your phone with touch control and even edit them there with the Touch photo album and editor.

Stay mobile

Got a moment to surf? Access your favourite Web pages when you’re in a Wi-Fi™ 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.

Organize with a personal touch

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.

FPers ,

Apakah ada program yg bisa copy seluruh data HP SE tipe A100 ke G900 ( HP A100 -> PC -> G900)

Salam & Tq

Data apa bro. Kalau cuma file biasa (gambar,video,lagu) tinggal copy paste saja di M2nya. Entar otomatis G900 bisa membaca kok.

@Marty,

Karena tokoku bukan kayak Oke shop, yah bunga nya ala bunga BCA jikalau gunain kartu kredit. Bunga 5 persen per tahun.

Aku pernah nanya ke tokoku, bisa gak bayar cicilan gitu sama dia. Sayang tidak bisa.

Harga masih sama baik ada blue tooth maupun no bluetooth.

Kemarin G 900 tinggal 1 buah dari 3 stock.

@Kuff.

wow sabar bro, sabar. hehehe.

Gak salah deh dikau beli G 900.

Pertama register dulu deh. ok, free kok.

Nih UIQ zone

[tautan dihapus]

Banyak aplikasi dan game yang dpt di d/l.

Hanya gunain bluetooth atau kabel data dari program aplikasi lsg ke HPnya.

Nanti setelah di save di HPnya, baru di install programnya dari HP.

Saran, simpan di storage card. hehehe

Ini salah satu program yang bisa buat cepat kerjanya G 900 selain tweak peaks.

[tautan dihapus]

It works.

Ini Swiss Manager Pro

[tautan dihapus]

It works.

Perhatian : Install dahulu Swiss Manager Pro 1,6 terlebih dahulu ( PENTING ),

Baru Swiss manager Pro 1.7.

Nah ini baru tweak peaks

[tautan dihapus]

savevin data dulu ke HP. Nanti kalau ada tulisan expired date gitu.

Lihat info, sampai tanggal mulai sampai expirednya.

Ubah tanggal di HPmu. lalu jalankan.

Kalo data2 yang bisa dibaca sama Outlook seperti Contacts, Tasks, Notes, Bookmarks, dll. (cek aja ke Outlook-nya langsung ya), itu bisa.

Synchronize dulu aja hape A100 nya ke Outlook, trus nanti kan data2nya pindah ke Outlook. Nah dari Outlook pindahin deh data2nya ke G900.

Kecepatan akses menu2nya gak beda jauh sama P1 atau W960 bro.

Soal keypad, memang di awal2 gw pernah bilang agak kurang nyaman, tapi itu mungkin karena waktu itu gw baru pertama kali make dan belum terbiasa. Setelah lama ternyata keypadnya enak juga, makin lama -- setelah hampir sebulan make -- makin asik aja keypadnya.
Apalagi karena hape gw 1 lagi yang gw pake sekarang adalah C902 yang keypadnya licin, jadi make G900 ini terasa asik banget keypadnya.

Kameranya? Mulai dari interface sama shutter time plus saving time, jauh lebih cepet daripada kamera2 yang ada di UIQ lain, hampir gak jauh beda sama hape2 non UIQ deh.

Hallo,

Sekarang harganya berapa ya nih HP? Apakah sudah turun?
Thanks..

Ada yang tau di SESC mana di daerah Jakarta yang sekarang ready stock SE G900? Soalnya semua SESC uda saya telponin ga ada yg jawab 1pun, mungkin sibuk semuanya..
Kalo boleh tau, sama nanya harga & promo cicilan bunga 0% bank apa aja..
Mohon bantuannya..Terima kasih..

ada yang udah bandingin sama C902 ?
kok harganya terpaut tipis yah ?
kalo liat dari fitur2nya harusnya G900 harganya jauh lbh mahal drpd C902. cmiiw.

sayang sekali kok flashnya skrg dah kagak pada pake xenon efek ga sih ke hasil fotonya ?
thx

G900 vs C902 :

Design :
- Secara fisik ukurannya hampir sama kecuali ketebalannya (lebar dan panjangnya sama). C902 lebih tipis.
- Material casingnya C902 terbuat dari stainless sedangkan G900 dari plastik, kecuali sedikit metal di bagian belakang atas. Mungkin karena bahannya juga salah satu faktor yang membuat harga C902 terkesan mahal.

Fitur :
- Network yang dimiliki G900 hanya sampai dengan 3G (UMTS 2100) sedangkan C902 udah mendukung 3.5G (HSDPA), ini jadi salah satu kelebihan C902.

- G900 menggunakan OS Symbian 9.1 UIQ3 sedangkan C902 menggunakan OSE JP-8.3.1 dengan UI platform A200. Symbian punya kelebihan di banyaknya aplikasi yang bisa di-install sedangkan kelebihan utama A200 adalah pada messaging arrangement nya yang lebih advance daripada Symbian UIQ (misal : bisa disimpan di memory card, bisa disusun berdasarkan nama, tanggal, ukuran, dan kategori).

- Kamera yang dimiliki keduanya sama2 5 megapixel tetapi kelebihan kamera di C902 adalah :
* Ada face detection
* Ada BestPic
* Ada PhotoFix
* Ada XPict Story untuk slide show
* Ada geotagging meskipun gak punya GPS built-in
* Flash yang lebih kuat meskipun bukan Xenon

- Kelebihan lain untuk fitur di C902 :
* Accelerometer (auto rotate)

Kenapa harga C902 cuma beda Rp 100.000 dari G900?
Menurut gw karena, sebagian aja yang saat ini kepikir :
- Materialnya seperti gw sebut di atas --> bener2 terkesan premium... stainless steel gitu loh!
- G900 menggunakan hardware teknologi lama yang udah ada sejak P990, jadi hardware dan UI C902 relatif lebih baru, dalam hal ini ada pengaruh biaya R&D nya juga kan?
- Karena C902 jauh lebih tipis jadi kemungkinan modul kameranya lebih tipis dan lebih mahal dari G900.
- Dan lain2....

Pilih mana? Sesuai kebutuhan aja deh.

sayangnya bahan C902 ga terlihat stainless steel nya kayak T650 yah. kalo pegang baru berasa. fashionnya jadi lebih ke cewe sih. Coba yg warna hitam lebih menonjolkan sisi metalnya.

@TheRealOne :

waw ! salut...thx bgt buat comparasinya bro mantaf bener nih bro satu ini..g tambahin ah tnr nya

Kalo soal flash kedua tipe ini yg bukan xenon lg gmn tu bro? apakah hasilnya masih bisa kt fight sama si k800 series ?

thx

Thanks juga....
Ya tetep lebih powerful Xenon lah bro.
Tapi kalo untuk kondisi gelap yang bukan pitch black sih udah lumayan lah.
Di ruangan yang pitch black asal jaraknya gak terlalu jauh aja udah lumayan juga. Tapi kalo untuk jarak agak jauh K800 jelas menang flashnya.

hmm..sayang bener yah...adaaa aja yang dikurangin, hehehe.
thx

OOT

Lando ultah ya!?!?

HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!!!
ditunggu makan2nya

wah, ada yg nongol ternyata thx2. makan2? ga jadi beli C702 donk gw
