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

bro,
ada t9 indonesianya gak?
udah kebiasa nulis sms pake t9, kalo kaga ada males deh

Ini kalo ada SMS masuk , miss call , keliatan ga statusnya di layar luarnya?
Jadi ga perlu sering2 buka tutup buat cek ada SMS masuk ataupun miss call....

@robotluak
ada kok. ada beberapa bahasa lain malahan selain inggris dan indonesia. hoho.

@hiryu
SMS keliatan di layar depan dengan nama pengirimnya. miss call keliatan tandanya juga.
klo ada sms, ada miss call, ada bluetooth nyala brgan dll, ntar icon2nya jd pada kecil2 gt tp keliatan semuanya. ^__^

Wah semakin pengen beli ni....
Ayo2 ada yang mo tadah W950 gua dengan harga bagus?

hmm tapi gue email ke cs se katanya t9 nya cuman buat bahasa inggris.

bro Erixxon,
terima kasih untuk konfirmasinya (tapi enggak ketukar dengan menu bahasa indonesia kan?)

@Erixxon
kualitas suara lewat headset klo dibandingin hape SE yg laen gimana Bro? sama K750?K800?

sama k750 rasanya msh bgsan k750 bro. k750 itu kan setara w800. dan music player jaman dulu kyny ttp plg yahud deh. sama k800, kyny bgsn z770. agak lupa juga sih k800 itu ky gimana. cm rasanya dulu pas pake k800, gue ga terlalu terkesan sama suaranya lewat headset.

ini bs jd salah lho ya soalnya udah lm bngt ga pake k800, apalagi k750.

ok, tengkiu bro. jadinya Z770 mo tuker guling sama K660 bro jus_ppc gak tuh?

hehehe. bingung. antara pengen dan ga pengen. modelnya z770 pas ditutup bikin gemes sih. rata benerr. tp layarnya asik jg gede. ~_~

@Erixxon

udah bro, jual aja Z770 nya trus beli C902, sekalian jadi wakil buat masuk tipi minggu besok

waduh.. ga dulu deh. br 1 bulan ni hapenya. ~_~
lagian lg cinta2nya bngt sama layarnya.

......waduh ...........mampir dulu nih bro di thread z770..

pertama gw mikir mo beli w380....
eh....... mikir2 lagi gara2 ditawarin K660...

sekarang......... ngeliet flip tipis macem z770.. jadi lebih pengen lagi

maklum..
penggemar flip ! ^_^..

btw, da coba internetnya?!?! cepet ga?!??!

Yang item udh ada blm di indo?
Naksir berat ama yang warna itemnya....

@badut83
cepet. secepet k660 klo gue rasa sih. tp gue sebenernya kurang jago dlm menilai cepet/engganya suatu akses data. ^^

@hiryu
yg item tuh yg keypadnya biru atau keypadnya merah sih? ~_~
soalnya nama aslinya kan pake biru dan merah.

klo yg gue sih, luarnya item, keypad biru.

yang item ini loh...

Sebelah kanan....

waooo gitu yak!...

sip2.. overall gimana nih ...

Z770 ..... atau K660 ?!...

btw, kabel data berapa duit ya ?! (bete juga nih kaga dapet kabel data!)

@hiryu
iya yg item itu hrsnya sih ada. soalnya gue jg punyanya yg itu.

@badut83
overall sih mending k660 lho. soalnya lbh murah beberapa ratus ribu, plus speaker lbh bagus, plus layar jg lbh terang + bisa video call. z770 ga bs video call lho walau HSDPA. ^^ keunggulan z770 itu layarnya lbh besar.

kabel data sih krg tau harganya nih. ~_~

waaa... hahaha
3G video call ga gt pake sih .. walaupun kayanya seru juga, pernah coba soalnya..
tapi sangat2 jaranggggg.. hauhaha

kedua, ga suka candybar..+_+..that's the problem.. mana k660i biasa banget designnya..
ga suka..+_+.. kerennan z770!.. hahaha

tapi overall nih hape ga masalah banget kan?!

yeaahh! akhirnya bertambah jg pencinta z770. seengganya gue ga sendirian (atau cuma berdua brg WhiteEye) di sini.

overally.. ga masalah kok. terutama setelah diupgrade ke R1F bro. jd lbh cepet segala2nya. muter video jg dah ga ngelag2. trus respon menu lbh cepet. asik deh dipakenya. skrg jd sayang bngt ma z770.

cm yg agak nyesel sebenernya satu... makin diliat kok yg silver kyny lbh keren ya. tau gt dulu bli yg silver. haha.

Z780 jadi masuk Indo, kapan yah ?

harga Z770i dah turun ?
