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.

* One- touch media and organiser 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.

mati = matot = mati total ?

apa mati batt abis, apa mati aja biasa, trus bisa di nyalain lagi ?

mmmm masih langka or udah banyak sih G700i ini ? Harga masih tetap ya

FPers ,

Apakah di G700 Alarm/Task/Reminder yang telah di Set waktunya akan bunyi saat HP tidak aktif (HP dalam keadaan OFF)

Tq

Bro TRO sudah coba di G900 katanya sih bisa. Waktu itu saya pernah nanya kok. Otomatis pasti G700 bisa.

BINGUNG nih antara G700 atau G900

G700 hanya satu warna yg champagne itu yah??

@just ppc :
nggak bro, tiba2 radionya mati mulu tiap 20 menit, tapi pake HPM-70 ndak papa, yg tak pake waktu radio mati HPM-85

@atas :
iya sob warna baru satu warna yang masuk,kok bingung..G700 3,2 G900 selisih 1 juta dapet wifi sama kamera 5mpix touch fokus pula...dipilh tergantung kebutuhannya...saya beli ini karena mirip P1, nggak pake wifi..toh si wifi udah di laptop, ipone ma e51

@enriko :
Bisaa sob

Oya, ada pakar-nya nih, g dah tanya, tp belum ada yg jawab apa gak tau juga yah, hehehe, layar G700i ada spt titik2 di pinggiran kanan, sedang G900i gak ada, utk apa yah

Trus, Notes gak bisa ya di send to e-mail ?

Yup, pengalaman beli beberapa kalo gadgets ada Wifi, sampe langganan CBN....eh gak pernah kepake......, tp biasa....kalo pas pake yg gak ada WiFi....gatel...pengen nge-Wifi....

yg cukup bikin berat sih Camera-nya, coba G700i AF.....mantap, walau ternyata hasil-nya gak mengecewakan, paling utk foto2 jarak deket...KO deh

kalo jarak dekat buat foto iya KO cuma..gila P1i aja yang sama2 smartphone kameranya mengecewakan, lha ini nggak..

Pertama kaili yg deg2an waktu beli adalah kamera,takut kalo hasilnya sama ma P1i begitu buka dus pasrah..ternyata nggak, kamera menjanjikan..

Di mode notes kalo dipilih option more bisa send as : MMS, SMS, Email dan bluethooth bro

titik2 itu ya..tadinya saya kira seperti touch sensitivenya K850 ternyata BUKAN BRO...titik di kanan yang ada panah naik dan turun fungsinya haya menunjukkan fungsi untuk scroliing page aja...

ooo begitu, iya nih...tambah naksir G700i, cuma masih pada kosong, ya sabar deh....., next mont aja

Thx bro

huhu
G700 ga suka warnanyah ....

kalau yg ini suka gak warnanya ?

manisan si champange..gimana githu warnanya..

gak ada camera tuh, yg bisnis version kan, boleh kalo beda 1 jt lagi.....hehehehe, kalo cuma beda gak sampe 300rb mah, mending yg camera ...toh cameranya termasuk wuoke kan

bisa jadi gak masuk indo nih yg bisnis ini, or kalo masuk...nanti 5 thn lagi....hahahaha

@jus_ppc
ya, versi bisnis
kalau beda 500rb boleh untuk gantikan w950.

sayang..wong kameranya oke kok..kecuali kayak E51..baru pilih yang no camera..abisnya kameranya ancuur

Sepi banget ini thread ?

Apa karena semuanya lebih tertarik ama G900 (pengganti P1 ?) ya ?

Gw salah beli G700 ga sih ?

Eh tapi nggak lah, harga 3.275 kemaren panteslah untuk dipake 1 taon sambil nunggu harga X1 turun harga dan moddingnya banyak...

*Menghibur diri mode : On*

Btw,
rada rada OOT nanya disini sebenernya, but anyways :

Kemaren gw download dan iseng make Themes Creatornya SE.

Niatnya mo bikin background themes dengan motif Manchester United (liat avatar gw diatas, kekeke). Bikin awalnya pake bawaan G700 yg ungu, gw ganti kecil kecilan aja iseng dengan warna merah dan wallpaper United.

Background hampir semuanya udah bisa gw ganti pake skin dari wallpaper MU, tapi background skin untuk page pas buka sms itu ga nemu tempat/tab editnya di themes creator (warna backgound yg pas mo bikin sms baru itu lho).

Ada yg bisa ngasih pencerahan di sebelah mana harus diutak atik untuk skin page/background itu ?

Thanks !

nanya donk, berhubung cewe gw tertarik HP SE touchscreen yg pake navy-pad

1. jenis layar sama kayak G900 & W960?
2. Support karakter kanji ga? (mandarin). kayaknya nulis dan tampilin sama2 ngak bisa ya kayak di UIQ lain?
3. Ukuran virtual keyboardnya seberapa gede?

btw sayang banget yah cuma 1 warna: silk bronze padahal G900 merah lebih cocok sih. tapi wifi pasti ga kepake. touchfocus juga ga butuh2 amat karena uda ada camdig. lebih butuh organizer & touchscreennya sih. paling di Gmask deh nih

@LaNDo: bisa kanji koq,, virtual keynya setengah halamannya gitu,, hehe,, ga gitu ngerti,,

bodinya kurang oK y,, huhu,, bahannya kaya p990i,, pasti bentaran da luntur sana sini..
di roxy harga 3,25. di SE nya 3,99.

kemaren gw beli d SEnya, barang cuma 2,.
pas dibuka jeng jenggg,, yang pertama tu hP lemot2 aneh gitu..
da gitu kamernya ga bisa dipake.. T_T syokk..
dan mbaknya langsung ambil yang baru..
serem juga tu kalo dapet yang kaya gitu..
tapi setelah 2 hari pake, ni hP oK koq..
tapi kameranya ga sebagus yang diharapkan sih,.

@KevinSmith: bikinin themes yang lucu2 dong..
setengah mati nyarinya
jelek2 smua

cari themes yang bagus dimana y?
