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

Warna baru keren tuh...

Yg Ducati berapa yah, bisa di pake di Indo gak yah, hehehe bisa nitip soalnya....

dlmnya bagus, luarnya ga. tp drpd bosen ma yg item n silver gitu2 aja sih, ya lmyn jg.

btw... gue skrg pake z770 soalnya k660 gue kecolongan 2 minggu yg lalu!
nah sedikit review ya dibandingin k660.

layarnya terangan k660, tp z770 gamma levelnya lebih bener, dan punya kesan soft/tebal warnanya. dengan tampilan yg lebih baik di bawah sinar matahari. agak kekuningan dikit dibanding layar k660 sih.

lalu.. speakernya butut. agak2 cempreng dan kalo gue set volume ringtone maksimal, ga nyaman bngt di kuping suaranya.

video playernya lagging ky a200 pd umumnya, hanya aja lebih parah lagnya. k850 aj masih mendingan kali. apalagi klo dibanding k660 yg emg lebih oke playernya di antara a200-a200 lainnya.

kualitas suara via headset bagus. setara k660, k850. ga mengecewakan lah.

batere.. lebih tahan lama dr k660 untuk pemakaian mirip2.

kameranya. secara reproduksi warna, lebih ijo2 dibanding k660. tp dr ketajaman, tajaman z770. hihi.

apa lagi ya.. oh iya sinyal. penerimaan sinyal ga sebagus k660 euy. k660 dl sering dpt 3G klo di kamar gue, skrg susah nih klo pk z770. banding2in sm k660 punya temen, ya emg kalah dikit penerimaan sinyalnya.

keypad.. hmmm.. gue dah lamaaaaaa bngt ga pake clamshell jd agak ga terbiasa dengan keypad yg jauh2an gini letaknya. tp asik juga sih, jd ga terkesan dempet2. cuma karena bentuknya yg flat itu, kadang2 susah deh nekennya. gue sih msh lebih nyaman ngetik di k660.

kesimpulan.. klo dibanding k660 yg emang dlmnya serupa 95%, ya mendingan k660 deh. udah lebih murah 300 ribuan, isinya juga lebih byk dan speakernya pun lebih powerful. plus layarnya lebih terang (tapi ini sih subjektif ya.. stelah gue liat2 pun, gue malah lebih suka layar z770 krn warna2nya lebih soft dan tebelll, viewing angle-nya jelas bngt pula).

oh iya.. selama pake z770 ini, dah 2x gue gagal charging. gue tinggal hape dlm keadaan dicharge, eh tyt failed charging gt d. dan akhirnya gue hrs lepas batere dan ulang charging.

masalah lainnya sih blm ditemukan.

bugs pd k660 -> pencet tombol activity tp menunya ga mau keluar -> tidak terjadi pd z770.

Weqs K660 kecolongan di mana???

Dpt Z770 harga brp ???

Bisa dipost hasil foto dan kelengkapan pada saat kita beli ni hp ??

THx

Z770 ga dapet kabel data. Cuma charger, headset, CD. Memory card juga ga dpt lho.
K660 itu msh dapet m2 256, charger, headset, kabel data, CD.

harganya 2,24 pas beli 2 minggu lalu.

k660-nya kecolongan di angkot. hehehe. tp bukan sama gue sih. sama temen gue (waktu itu kita lagi tukeran hape). jadi z770 ini berapa jutanya ya digantiin sm temen gue, sisanya gue nambah sendiri. tdnya sih mau ganti k660 lg. tp ga nemu yg lime on white. gue ga suka yg wine on black, jd akhirnya beli z770 aj.

Kalau untuk program chatting, enaknya pake yang apa ya di handphone ini ? Prioritas utamanya bisa Google Talk.

Google Talk sih jelas pake e-buddy aja. ~___~
[tautan dihapus]
bs search e-buddy untuk k850. itu soalnya bs dipake jg di z770.

cepatlah turun!!!!

untuk chatting coba shmessenger,ebuddy,ymtiny,ato trutap,,

@erixxon ; upload hasil foto2-nya dong ?

sambil nunggu2 hrg turun,jg yg warna Gold yah...or yg only in Italy...hehehe

Makasih

Ah, itu nggak perlu register lagi di website macem^2 sebelum bisa pake programnya kan ?

@Erixxon
Z770 bisa playback video fullscreen (landscape) kan?

Bisa kok. Cuman yang agak aneh, kalau dibikin landscape, terus balik ke menu media, layarnya tetap landscape, jadi abis puter videonya musti balikin ke Portrait dulu.
Tapi karena bukan telpon saya, mungkin ada setting tersembunyi yang belum ketemu aja.

Kemarin itu, coba puter video klip yang diencode ulang, suaranya nggak keluar. Codecnya support apa aja ya, lupa juga waktu convert itu disetel audio pake apa, videonya XVid dalam container MP4 sih jalan aja. Audio, rasanya sih LAME, tapi MP3 masa nggak bisa sih.

muter video landscape bisa, tp bisanya cuma di menu media aja. seperti kita ketahui, muter video di menu media itu lebih ngelag dibanding di file manager. jd ya.. agak2 butuh kesabaran ekstra.

henpon kecil kek gini.. emank bisa maksimal web nya ? ? ?

sesuai request di atas. hasil2 fotonya.

klo indoor, noisy deh. tp yg di bawah ini blm pake night mode sih (lg mls pake night mode )

di-resize pk CS2. ga diedit2 lg.

di siang hari nan cerah... wow!

engselnya kok ringkih ya?

@hopeless
