It’s FCC rather than Sony Ericsson that revealed us the model number of the BeiBei smartphone – G702. The upcoming device sports all the things a modern smartphone user could need — including GSP, WiFi and a touchscreen. It’s 3G enabled, though U.S. frequencies are left out, making us think why the Swedish-Japanese folks bothered to go through FCC’s approval process. Not that this is their first time to do so… Alongside the European model, we’re also noticing the G702c variant, which is most likely targeted towards the Chinese market.
In the other news, another Sony Ericsson handset passed the FCC hurdle. The Z780i clamshell is obviously heading to AT&T, or at least the carrier’s badge suggests so. This time the right 3G/HSDPA frequencies are on board and my guess is we could expect to see it launched in the U.S. in the coming weeks and months…

The "convergence" is what he's most excited about, and writing about it is the next logical thing to do. He thinks that using a smartphone is what everyone who cares about their time should do. In addition to his interests in mobile phones, Dusan also loves to experiment with the latest web and mobile 2.0 services. The idea of accessing and managing your information from any device no matter where you are simply amazes him. Whether it's an online to-do list, note taking service or a video sharing social network, he's there to try it out. He admits though, he's still searching for the ultimate web-based organizational tool, which "sings" perfectly with the mobile PIM application. Dusan used to run SymbianWatch.com which later became part of IntoMobile. He lives in Serbia, South-East Europe, from where he edits the site on a daily basis.
