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.

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.

Blackberry Service biarin aja, ntr mati sendiri. Jangan sering dibuka2, sekali dibuka dia akan nyala terus. Kl ngak mau mati juga, di restart aja hpnya.

Kl soal wallpaper sori gak punya pemecahannya juga, mungkin gambarnya di rotate aja dulu, baru dijadiin wallpaper.

thanks bro hot_ramen atas responnya,

masalahnya dari pertama dinyalain itu blackberry service tetap aja nyala sampai sekarang, ga mau mati sendiri, jadinya boros dibaterai, karena sinyalnya nyala melulu.

gambarnya sudah dirotate ke posisi vertikal, tapi tetap aja pas dimasukin jadi wallpaper posisinya balik lagi ke horizontal

ada solusi lainnya ?

di restart biasanya kan balik normal lagi, kalo ga bisa juga coba matiin trus lepas batre dulu
soal wallpaper gw juga ga tau solusinya.. mending edit dulu pake photoshop, resize picnya ke 240x320 ato 240x301

mo nanya juga donk...sebenernya warna casing G700 ada berapa si??....selain silk bronze ada yg laen?...soalnya kmrn2x gw liat d best denki ada yg warna coklat tua...keren loh..elegan gt....cmiiw ya..thx

Ada yg pernah ngalamin ga tau2 kalo sms masuk ga keluar menu Read nownya???

ini udah dibahas belum sih??

barusan iseng cek SEUS, colokin G700, dibilang ada firmware baru cuztomization indonesia, pengen update tapi ngga jadi, mau backup dulu, btw maksudnya apa sih cust. indonesia??

menu nya ada yang berubah kah? atau udah support bhs indonesia?

oh iya kok kameranya sering nyala sendiri yah kadang??? Apa itu memang bug???

@ Jenson,
Sms gua selalu ada read now nya kok.. Trus kamera juga gak pernah nyala sendiri..
Mungkin gak sengaja kepencet tombol kamera yang di sebelah kanan kali bro?

Kalo gua, masalah yang timbul adalah, kalo ambil foto / video gitu, pas dicari lagi di Media suka ngilang foto / videonya, padahal udah ada Viewer nya setelah ambil foto / video.
Di gua udh kejadian bbrp kali, pas tahun baru kemaren ambil video kembang api lumayan lama 8 menit, eh ngak kesave pdhl simpennya di memcard dan masih sisa banyak banget memorynya.
Trus bbrp kali foto, pas dicari lagi di Media, fotonya ngilang.
Ada 1 foto yang waktu itu ilang, trus tiba2 balik lagi ada di Media..
Pusing gua, apa ini bugs-nya G700 juga?
Yang lain apa ngalamin hal yang sama jg?

Awalnya g kira kepencet tapi kayaknya enggak deh org tadi g jelas2 ga nyentuh tombol kamera yg disamping... Waduh yg paling bermasalah kok SMSna jadi gak ada Read Now yah??? Gmn nih solusinya bagi para master SE???

Untuk soal foto yang hilang, ternyata solusinya bisa diatasi dengan menu 'Update Library', fotonya balik lagi... tapi aneh jg knp ada bbrp foto yang tiba2 ngilang..

@ Jenson, mending ke service center aja, mungkin firmware nya ada yg ngaco..
Dulu K700i gua jg tiba2 gak bisa nyala bluetoothnya, bawa ke SC cuma 1 jam dah sembuh.

Permisi, ane penghuni baru mo ikutan nimbrung masalah Blackberry connection di G700.
Untuk disconnect, gak perlu restart, copot battery apalagi sampe di uninstall.
Masuk aja ke task manager, terus pilih aplikasi yang mau di disconnect, klik aja "end" dan anda akan bebas dari koneksi si biri2 hitam.

afaik ndak ada tuh boss aplikasi yang running di task manager pas BB connect kedap-kedip, jadi apa yang mau di "end"?

bahkan pakai jurus restart atau jurus copot batere yang notabene jauhhhh lebih meyakinkan untuk nutup aplikasi yang running aja ngga ngepek untuk buang nih biri2 hehehe...

CMIIW

semuanya udah di coba tetep aja tuh BB connection nyala terus, pengen bawa ke service resmi sony, didepok katanya ada, tapi disebelah mana ? patokannya ?
