Sony Ericsson’s latest touchscreen cellphone, the G700, has cleared the FCC, maintaining the company’s intention to release the handset in Q2 2008. The GSM device, announced at the Mobile World Congress earlier this year, is intended as a “broad appeal” device introducing non-business users to the benefits of a touchscreen interface. As a result, as well as hardware buttons there’s a stylus and a 2.4-inch display allowing for handwritten memos, MMS messages and touch-scrolled image galleries.
The G700 has a 3.2-megapixel camera (while its improved sibling, the G900, has a 5-megapixel camera with touch autofocus and multi-shot functionality) together with a front-mounted camera for video calls. Photo editing can be done on the device itself, courtesy of the touchscreen. As demonstrated at the MWC, both the G700 and the G900 are triband GSM, although the G900 also has WiFi.
A Memory Stick Micro (M2) slot allows for storage expansion up to 8GB, and when connecting the handset to a PC it appears as a mass storage device for easy file transfer. The media player is compatible with MPEG4, H.263, H.264, WMV9 and Real Video, together with MP3, WMA, WAV, AAC, AAC+ and eAAC+. There’s still no word on exact availability nor estimated price when the handset launches in the US.
