Sony Ericsson puts ‘your life in a clamshell’ with the new Z770 web-enabled phone

10 February 2008

The new Sony Ericsson Z770 is a powerful web enabled phone designed to keep you up- to-date with the latest headlines, your favourite website and your email inbox.

Barcelona, Spain – 10th February 2008 – Sony Ericsson today announced the launch of the new Z770, an elegant clamshell phone optimised for the web and benefiting from HSDPA data speeds. This classic-looking clamshell phone offers capabilities beyond expectation. It is designed to make it straightforward to surf the web or receive the latest news, and the ‘email set-up wizard’ makes it simple to access your inbox. The Z770 can also be connected directly to a laptop (via USB cable) and can be used as a modem.

“The Z770 is deceptively powerful for such a compact clamshell phone,” said Martin Winkler, Director Global Marketing and Head of Multimedia Web at Sony Ericsson. “It appeals to busy people who demand hassle-free email and high quality Web access on the move. These people need to be in-touch, need to be on top of their email, but don’t necessarily want a smartphone or PDA. The Z770 is the uncomplicated answer.”

Z770 phone – Gets you online with effortless style

* Easy email set-up – for ultimate convenience
* High-speed web access and intuitive navigation features for fast web browsing
* Google™ Maps for Mobile – receive step-by-step directions on your screen to your destination

Style in your pocket
A compact, reliable phone that helps you juggle work, home, friends and family. With HSDPA technology providing fast data speeds, the Z770 provides multiple methods of communication whether it’s for a business matter or just staying in touch with the family. This phone combines up to 8.5 hours talk time with easy email set-up and fast internet access. This makes the Z770 a versatile phone for those that have a hectic lifestyle both at work and at home with the family.

Your inbox in your hand
The Z770 makes it easier than ever before to access your email. Even if you’re a technical novice you can access Web email (Hotmail, Yahoo etc) and retrieve mail, straight from your phone. And with Exchange ActiveSync™, you can even configure your phone to have work emails pushed straight to your phone, making it easier than ever to stay in touch on the move.

Choose how you want to get online
The Z770 gives you online access, however you choose to get there. Surf the web or retrieve email directly on your phone when you’re in a cab. And when you’re in the hotel lobby, connect the Z770 to your laptop (via USB Cable) and use it as a modem to access the web on your computer.

Once online, web browsing on the Z770 is easy thanks to the Magnetic Mouse Pointer that is controlled by the navigation key. The key changes the icon depending on its position on the Web page (i.e. from text input to pointer or to link). Plus, pan and zoom into an area you’re interested in for easy reading on the good-sized (2.2”) screen.

Stay up-to-date
The Z770 offers you all the information you need, right at your fingertips. Receive RSS feeds from news or entertainment websites as the action happens. Or simply click on the RSS tile, or ‘widget’, for instant access to your favourite webpage from your phone’s desktop (or standby screen). In addition, the Z770 has a useful built-in weather forecast application, allowing you to receive regular weather updates and plan your long weekend accordingly.

As well as receiving the latest news and weather forecasts, you can also keep loved ones informed about your own news. Snap a photo on the Z770 and upload it instantly to your own blog site.

Stay in touch in your car
You don’t need to hold the phone in your hand to get the best out of the Z770. With the Bluetooth ™ Handsfree HCB-150, also announced today, you can catch-up with your client or family in your car while staying focused on the road. The HCB-150 also features a convenient text to speech feature; the HCB-150 verbally alerts you who is calling. The HCB-150 has a talk time of up to 25 hours and 700 hours standby time- long enough to last for quite a few trips!

The Z770 is a UMTS/HSDPA 2100 and GSM/EDGE 900/1800/1900 phone that will be available in Vogue Red, Graphite Black and Exquisite Gold in selected markets from Q2 2008.

The Bluetooth™ Car Speakerphone HCB-150 will be available globally from Q2 2008

ga cuma MTA. hampir semuanya tu ga tau apa2. malah banyak yg sok tau kok

tadi gw ke SE MKG. ada dummynya. keypadnya enak banget. design keypad yang metal dan engselnya persis dengan si dagu cakil tipis banget bahkan pada posisi tertutup. tapi sayang ngak ada "lobang" (baca: kamera videocall)

soal sok tau yang awal, gw juga liat MBW-150 (dan 100). gw kasi tau teman gw harganya, dia tertarik (padahal lagi bokek ), trus tanya gw itu bisa buat semua ga (HPnya 6120). gw bilang bisa. dia ga percaya, tanya SPB, katanya bisa, asal support A2DP. gw uda bilang bisa buat semua, dia bersikeras "cuma buat SE kok kata masnya"...... yauda deh. ga bakal beli juga kan

Sempet megang sebentar real unit pinjeman org, dan berikut kelemahannya menurut gue (this is all purely on my personal judgement) :

1. Flip (sorry aja, gue mah Candy bar mania )

2. Ga ada camera buat videocall (WTF ????, padahal ini HSDPA device !!!!!! Great design SE !!!!!!)

3. Keypad asli niru RAZR style biarpun model dipermanis dengan ulir2 keypad yang macem lekuk body ular ( Dan entah sengaja atau ngga, salah satu themesnya jg menampilkan animated background berupa gambar cahaya yang merayap seperti lekuk tubuh ular )

Tapi bukan berarti HP ini ga ada bagusnya seh, mungkin buat para wanita HP ini cukup oke karena modelnya yang buat gue pribadi lebih cocok untuk perempuan. Kalo ada lelaki yang suka silakan aja tapi jgn marah kalo ada yang bilang loe pake HP BANCI

Iya nih SE... selalu aja bikin sesuatu dikurang-kurangin, bikin gemes aja.

Masa sih niru RAZR? Emang bener ya persis sama kaya merk-amerika-itu? Gw gak pernah megang merk-itu soalnya.. males...
Themesnya sengaja kali. Ular? Hii...

Untung gw gak suka clamshell.

@ atas : Gue sampe salah nyebut clamshell dgn flip karena buat gue sama aja ada lipetan2 gitu

designnya ngak cewe banget kok. metalnya malah lebih cocok buat cowo. kalo dari demo tournya HP ini kan ditujukan buat pria eksmud yg ga butuh videocall

Gw demen nih hp, masa gw banci sih?
Tapi gak beli juga sih, secara harganya gak cocok buat gw.

gw sih juga naksir HP ini. tapi teringat Z780 dan ga ada kamera videocall, malas deh

btw, dulu TRO pernah blg deh ada clamshell cybershot di 2008 ini. kok ga ada ya? gw sih kangen dengan Z800. ga ada successornya

Z780 yg mana tuh??heheheh

Z770 gak nyampe 3jt kog, 2,3jt saja.
Z780 bisa dibilang versi GPS-nya Z770 yah? Tetep aja sama2 kagak ada kamera video call.

Music player kata bro Erixxon sama kayak punya K850 dan K660 tuh, walaupun di mobile-review dibilang pake yang lama. Hasil kamera coba check aja di mobile-review.

Harga katanya skitar 2,3jt. W850iku resmi dijual buat nambah beli ini hp
