Sony Ericsson C902 and R300 Approved by FCC
The FCC recently approved two new phones from Sony Ericsson. First, the C902 is a candybar phone with a five megapixel camera that has facial recognition and autofocus. Additionally, the C902 boasts quad-band GSM (850/900/1800/1900 MHz). It also has ActiveSync, a Memory Stick Micro card slot, and Nokia’s task switcher button.
The R300 isn’t nearly as glitzy. Targeted for developing nations, the R300 has a 1.8 inch colour display, a VGA camera, built-in AM/FM radio, and Sony Ericsson’s TrackID application. Currently, there’s no word on the release date or price of these phones, but I’ll be sure to keep you up to date. Read more here!
Sony Ericsson Accidentally Leaks Z780
If you squint really closely, you might be able to make out the details of Sony Ericsson’s up and coming Z780 flip phone. Some features include a 240×320 pixel QVGA display, a 2 megapixel camera, and NetFront 3.4 browser. We also know that the Z80 is available in Amethyst Silver or Grand Onyx. Allegedly, there will be location-based service (perhaps even integrated GPS). Finally, the Z780 will be available in two versions: the Z780i for Europe and the Z780a for North America. No word on pricing or launch date yet, but I’d imagine the launch date being no later than quarter four of 2008.

Sony Ericsson K660: Green Machine
Ok, so I’m probably going to get in trouble for calling the K660 a “green machine,” since it’s not especially environmentally friendly, but technically it is both green and a machine. I win. Anyways, In addition to being a green machine, the Sony Ericsson K660 is also a web phone. Snazzy. The 3G K660 has UMTS/HSDPA, GSM/EDGE 850/900/1800/1900, a magnetic mouse pointer for easier navigation, a web browser that can pan and zoom, illuminated shortcut keys, desktop tickers that provide updates from your favourite websites, Google Maps, media player, FM radio, and a 2.0 megapixel camera. The K660 will launch in select markets during Q1 2008 for an undisclosed price. Click here for more information!
