Reuters is reporting that Sony Ericsson is preparing to bring its camera phones to the U.S. market. Apparently, the Swedish-Japanese handset has high hopes for its flagship, 8 megapixel camera-equipped C905 Cybet-shot handset, which we’ve already heard is heading to Rogers Wireless in Canada.
The company’s head of product marketing for North America, Jon Mulder, said: “We’re going to be really focused on this device starting in the second quarter. We know that this device is going to be relevant to consumers in the second half.”
The plan is to partner with either T-Mobile or AT&T (personally I think AT&T will get to carry the C905, though you never know) — two GSM carriers in the States — and offer the phone under subsidized pricing between $200 and $250. In that sense, both Sony Ericsson and their respective carrier partner may have a winner. Two hundred bucks for a 8 megapixel camera phone sounds like a bargain, especially when you mention all other goodies the C905 packs, such as WiFi, GPS and more.
