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

* Wi-Fi™ for high speed data transfer and internet browsing

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.

kayanya pihak SE udah tau hal itu deh (kelemahan g900)

makanya penurunan harga g900 lebih cepet dari g700....

tadi gw ngecek di SE centre beda harga g700 dgn g900 cuma 800rb....

(sambil berdoa g900 bakal turun lagi sampai dibawah g700.... )

G700 harganya di Selular shop juga turun lho jadi Rp 2.699.000,-

maap yak om, dan tante djadie oot begini.

Daftar nih akhirnya dapet juga G700 yang Sandy brown... Kok aneh yah yang di Selular shop 2.699jt tuh ga ada barangnya yang ada malahan SE yang distributornya trikomsel akhirnya beli disitu deh tapi yang ada lebih mahal jd 2.849 jt. Mo nanya dong kalo charge pertama para user sebelumnya baterenya ada isinya ga???

Wah, welcome to the club, bro!
Gua curiganya emang yang gak punya barang berani pasang harga rendah, seringkali gitu kalo gua cari hp, di toko yg harganya murah selalu gak ada barang, cape deh. Gua beli jg 2.849 jt, tp harusnya hrg udah turun kan?

Waktu pertama charge, batt ada isinya kok walopun gak full.

oh berarti sama kirain cm g doang yg aneh baterenya ada soalnya tanya temen yg dah pernah pake dy blg baterenya kosong. Iy tuh katanya di selular shop 2.699 tapi semua ga ada barang terpaksa beli di Sony yang distributornya Trikomsel yang pasang harga 2.849

kok trikomsel lebih mahal ya....

bukannya klo distri resmi (bukan toko/counter biasa) harganya pasti seragam dan sama dgn yg dari SE resminya....

yang gw pernah nanya sih dari Sales SE Pacific place, masing distro resmi SE punya exclusivitas ngedarin hp2 se tertentu, dalam hal ini trikomsel dapet jatah G700, selularshop dapet jatah G900...
kesimpulannya di SS ngga jual G700, trikomsel (okeshop) ngga jual G900..

ngga tahu deh bener atau kagak
