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.

Dusan has been using smartphones since their introduction and is now following the latest trends in the industry. 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.
