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.

* 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.

strategi apa..??

malah bikin gak laku bro....

gw salah satu konsumen yang kecewa dengan naiknya harga SE yang out of mind....

Bukan strategi kali,

emang dollarnya aja yang menggila.

US$ = Rp12.5K

Sing$ = Rp8.8K

wajarlah kalo harganya naek lagi.

Stock harga lama udah abis, sekarang yg tersedia stock dengan harga import baru.

CMIIW (Colek Me If I'm Wrong)

jadi harga naek gara2 import pake dollar ya...

coba di indo SE bikin pabrik perakitan.....

kan lumayan harganya pake rupiah....

hehehehe

maksudnya strategi yah itu SE ga mau dong jual barang baru yg diimport dengan dollar naik tapi dijual dengan harga dollar yg lama jadi utk sementara dy bilang brgnya kosong.

oh iya mo nanya dong kalo mo dl game2 g700 tuh yg webnya aman ga ada virus dimana yah???

Jah, tenggelam threadnya..

Anyways,

users G700 disini pada make cover ama untuk G700nya ?

Kemaren gw asal beli leather case murah gitu, ntah untuk type handset apaan aslinya.

Panjangnya sih masuk, tapi dpad tengahnya jadi 1/2 ketutupan plastiknya, jelek bener perasaan

Barusan sih pesen silicone putih di PnP, tapi barangnya lom nyampe, ga tau deh bakal lebih bagus ato malah lebih jelek hasilnya, lol.

Sharing please, pada make case apaan untuk ngelindungin G700nya ?

Ada yg tau case yang bener bener pas untuk handset ini ? Sukur sukur kalo ada yg tau penjualnya di PnP, soalnya gw ga di Jkt, rada susah nyari case di tempat gw

Thanks

@KevinSmith
Gw pernah lihat leather case merk Capdase yang didesain khusus buat G700. Modelnya flip (entah flip top entah flip down lupa). Di toko2 di Jakarta rata2 dijual di kisaran harga 160-170 ribu.
Kalo gak salah di PnP ada yang jual kok. Judul threadnya ada nyebut Capdase. Search aja ya.

wah g kesel abis tuh masa baru beli mica bwt G700 kemaren2 di rumah kita baru pake 3 apa 4 hari dah rusak. Seancur ancurnya sarung mica yg di toko2 hp roxy yg 10rb aja bisa tahan sebulan kali... Padahal ga pernah jatoh ato apa

G pake silicon putih susu biasa di Ambas, hrg 25 rb, pas sih, tp modelnya jd ngak keliatan aja. Keselnya ama anti-goresnya, udh baret pdhl br beli bbrp hari

waduh guyz mo tanya nih ada gak yg pernah ngalamin baterenya drop dr full tau2 dah kayak mo dicharge trus pas g pegang baterenya panas kenapa yah??? Padahal ga dipake buat apa2... Apa karena sinyalnya jelek jadi karena nyari sinyal baterenya jadi drop Thx yah!!!

Kayaknya sih krn sinyal jelek bro, dalam waktu yg lama jd hp-nya searching trs.

tman2

Akhirnya gw juga make "kondom" putih susu kaya getu.

Berhubung di kota gw ga ada yg jual, terpaksa pesen di PnP, jatohnya mahal bener, wakakakakakaka

Anti gores kemaren gw beli di toko HP disini, ntah sebenernya untuk handset apaan, yg penting bisa nutupin (ampir) seluruh layar..

Rada OOT, perasaan koq nyari asesoris untuk handset SE rata rata susah bener ya ?

Pengalaman pribadi make dari P800-M600-G700, semua asesoris incl case terpaksa harus hunting di PnP, di trade centre pusat HP disini pada ga ada yang punya

Udah nasib make handset yg bukan "merek sejuta umat" kali ye ?

biasa kalo di Roxy masih ada kok G700. g beli screen guard ada di Roxy yg khusus bwt G700

Sayangnya gw ga di Jakarta, gw di Makassar

Aw well, liat positifnya aja deh, walaupun susah nyari barang disini, at least ga ada macet, wakakakakaka

@ Curtz :
Tanyain om bebek / om chakoo etc aja tuh yg di thread modding, pada 1/2 dewa semua itu jago moddingnya

@ KevinSmith,
Iya kali di sono peminat SE kurang jd pedagang ngak berani stock barang
Tapi bersyukurlah masih ada PnP latihan aja nawarnya supaya jago jd bisa dpt lebih murah, hehe....
