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

* One touch media experience

* 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.

wah bro, pertanyaannya harus diperjelas nih.
klo yg namanya update firmware, tentu aja boleh dilakukan KETIKA ada release firmware baru dari SE yg lebih baik daripada firmware yg skrg ada d hp kita.

tp klo pertanyaannya maksudnya abis beli hp ini lgsg hrs update firmware, ya bs gw jawab dgn pasti: ngga usah dululah... nunggu ada perkembangan firmware yg lebih baik.

oh iya, kmrn iseng2 gw ngecek latest f/w via SEUS, hasilnya: masi belum ada release f/w terbaru dr SE utk G700i.

semoga berkenan

Soalnya g takut aja kalo mo beli taunya blon apa2 dah mesti update firmware karena hang ato apa . BTW Thx!

ur welcome...
ntar absen disini ya klo g700i nya dah d tangan bro...
wish u the best

sundul ah,,,

up up up

Mana nih yang pada punya kok ga ada semua yah???

tauk deh, tenggelam mulu thread g700i.

ayo bro jenson, kita up lagi aja g700i ini.

yuuuuuuuuk

hehehe.... emang gitu bro kalo usernya dikit di FP.

sekedar saran.... daripada cuma di up up tapi enggak ngebahas apa2.... mendingan bro iFrids sharing/cerita ajah tentang penggunaan G700-nya. aplikasi apa yang berguna... yang dipake sehari2....helpfull apa nda.

terus ada yang unik ga dari G700 ini dari hp sebelomnya yg dipake.....

nanti kan ada yang bisa dibahas tuh di forum jadinya....

just my opinion.

salam

^ bener nih, sy jg lagi nimbang2 ini hp buat gantiin M600i.
Kira2 udah bener nggak ya pilihannya, krn mayoritas penggunaan cuman buat browsing, sayangnya masih belum bisa buat buka file avi/divx.
Terus mau nanya itu di paketnya G700 dapet handsfree tipe apa?

hai
lagi tertarik nih buat beliin ini buat bokap
sebenernya aye mau banget sih..tapi gapapa deh buat bokap dulu

yg mau ditanya:
1. apakah bener shortcut di home menu yg gede2 itu bisa utk call home? kalo emang bisa, maka lengkaplah sudah..berhubung orang tua..kemudahan sangat diutamakan...apalagi dgn lock/unlock key yg independen...
2. apakah settingan auto nya pada kamera bisa diandalkan? lagi2 berhubung ini orang tua..jadi maunya bisa diajarin point and shoot..drpd dibeliin kamera digital hehehe....

HPM 62 warna black

Kalo menurut saya buat ganti M600i sudah tepat..justru sata pake ini mengantikan P1i, dan ternyata UIQnya lebih cepat dibanding seri sebelumnya ( M600, W960, w950, P1 )

1. Maksudnya call home gimana bro..tapi ikon yang besar dan layar responsif menurut saya sudah sangat membantu untuk orang tua..

2. Setingan auto..bisa diandalkan kok..saya moto pake setingan auto terus sob..

Contoh hasilnya :

Buat avi/divx bukannya udah ada program 3rd party yg bisa? Tinggal di install aj.
Coreplayer bisa buka avi nggak sih? Gw sendiri belom cobain sih.

deleted.. double post

lama ngga online akhirnya ada yang posting di G700 thread hehehe

gw dah 2 bulanan pake sandy brown.. so far puas banget..., selama ini gw lebih sering gabung di thread G900, secara hp nya idnetik banget...soalnya sepi disini... tapi kalo rame sih bagusss

Soal firmware, kalo baru beli, cek aja, apa sudah yang terbaru, yang terbaru AFAIK R9M003 (sama juga untuk G900), kalo belum terbaru disarankan agar segera diupdate, untuk mencegah ketidak nyamanan yang mungkin timbul saat pemakaian..update sendiri juga gampang banget, kalo ngga berani tinggal di bawa ke SESC, ngga harus nginep kok dan gratisss lagi..

Udah ada yg install coreplayer/ smartmovie atw player2 lain yg bisa buat baca file avi/divx ke G700 ini?
Terus gimana hasilnya, gambar dan suaranya putus2 nggak...
Btw, kalo G700 & G900 identik berarti cuma berbeda di cameranya kan, atau di paket pembeliannya ada tambahan utk yg G900, krn selisih harganya kan lumayan jauh.
