Just in time for the CTIA in San Francisco, Sony Ericsson announced a new phone – G705. The device is very interesting, packing such things as 2.4-inch QVGA screen, WiFi, 3.2 megapixel camera and GPS. In addition, the 3G-enabled, “YouTube-compatible” handset also boasts stereo Bluetooth support, FM radio and a Memory Stick Micro (M2) slot. Pre-installed apps include media player, full HTML browser, RSS reader, Google Maps and Wayfinder Navigator.
The Swedish-Japanese handset maker also announced the G705u, their first UMA enabled phone, which will be sold exclusively through Orange in its territories.
The Sony Ericsson G705 will be available in selected markets from early Q4 in “Silky Gold” or “Majestic Black,” while the G705u will be available from early Q4 in the “Luminous Black.” A version for American markets supporting networks GSM/GPRS/EDGE 850/900/1800/1900 and UMTS/HSUPA 850/1900/2100 will be available in early Q1 2009.
