Extended EDGE offering with two new camera phones
Sony Ericsson has announced two new camera phones that take advantage of EDGE technology, which provides access to wireless data, content downloads, messaging and interactive online gaming at broadband speeds. Both are unique - the S710a megapixel camera phone has an innovative swivel design and the Z500 clamshell camera phone offers still and video capture plus great gaming and communications options. The S710a is being launched in the Americas (a global version, S700 was announced already in March) and the Z500i in Europe and Asia (a North American version was announced already in March, which will be shipped in Q3). These phones will be available in Q4, 2004.
Both phones are Class 10 EDGE-devices taking advantage of the latest EDGE network enhancements to access e-mail, games and information, being capable of downloading information at speeds up to 240 kbps and uploading at up to 120 kbps. EDGE, or Enhanced Data Rates for Global Evolution, is a 3G technology that delivers broadband-like data speeds to mobile devices.
As the earlier announced S700, the S710a has a stylish and unique three way communication style with swivel-design. This offers users the best operation mode depending on the task, whether it is taking photos, browse and talk, or text and e-mail. The S710a features an integrated 1.3 megapixel CCD digital camera for taking high quality photos and a scratch-proof 2.3 inch 262K TFT colour screen to display quality images and games. To further enhance the imaging experience, the S710a comes with a Photo Light to enable snapshots in dark environments and 8x digital zoom so shots can be taken from a distance. As a QuickShare product, the S710a is extremely easy to use; opening up the active lens cover automatically starts the camera. Pictures or video can be shot with just one click, and then just one or two more clicks to send the images on to friends, colleagues or family.
Users have a choice of several options to transfer images, video clips and other data to PC's and a host of other devices, including MemoryStick Duo, Bluetooth and infrared.
The Z500i is a neat clamshell phone that offers classic Sony Ericsson styling, great communications features and is extremely easy to use. Its built-in VGA camera can be used for recording still images and video clips and with QuickShare, consumers are just a few clicks away from taking, sending and sharing pictures, sounds and video, offering the unique Sony Ericsson ease-of-use experience on this innovative handset.
It is also one of the first Sony Ericsson phones to offer Push to Talk over Cellular (PoC), a technology that can lower the cost of ownership as it allows mobile phones to function as two-way radios. For shooting and sharing images, the phone's VGA camera records stills and video. The 65,536 color display is ideal for viewing all types of images, whether downloading or web-browsing, all of which is made faster thanks to its EDGE data connectivity. When the phone is closed its external 4,096 color display serves as a viewfinder for capturing images, a display for Picture CallerID, which shows the name and picture of the person calling, or allows the user to read text messages without having to open the phone. The Z500i synchronizes easily with a PC and has a number of organizer functions so users can keep up to date with diary and contacts while they're on the move.
Application development support for these two phones include J2ME MIDP 2.0 as well as Java 3D with Hi Corp Mascot Capsule Engine Micro 3D Edition and JSR-184 Mobile 3D Graphics API.
