14 DAY TRIAL // Sony Ericsson has removed the "Coming soon" sign from the C902, C702, G502 and Z780 phones listed on its official website, which means that, at least theoretically, all four handsets are on sale. Practically, the handsets might not be available right away, but most probably they'll be in stores and in the line-up of various mobile carriers in the next few days. At least across Europe, because other regions might have to wait a bit longer until the new Sony Ericsson handsets become available.
The latest two phones from the Cyber-shot series, C702 and C902, were first announced four months ago, during MWC 2008. Both handsets pack high-end specs and have a similar candybar form factor, the main difference being that the C902 has a thinner case and features a more advanced photo camera, while the C702 is GPS-enabled as well as dust and splash resistant, hence it can be carried in harsh environments.
Among the highlights of SonyEricsson C902 we have a 5 Megapixel camera with auto focus, flash, image stabilizer and video recording, touch-sensitive camera keys, a 2 inch TFT display with 240 x 320 pixels and 256K colors, Music player, FM radio with RDS, Bluetooth 2.0 with A2DP, GSM and HSDPA connectivity, NetFront browser, push email and Instant Messaging. The C902 measures only 108 x 49 x 10.5 millimeters, weighs 107 grams and comes with a battery capable of providing up to 9 hours of talk-time and up to 400 hours of stand-by time.
SonyEricsson C702 only has a 3.2 Megapixel camera with auto focus, flash and video, but it also features GPS and A-GPS, 3G, Music player, NetFront browser, email, Bluetooth 2.0 with A2DP and so on. The phone measures 106 x 48 x 15 millimeters and weighs 105 grams.
Part of Sony Ericsson's new G-series, the G502 (previously known as Emelie) was officially presented at the same time as the Z780, back in April.
G502 is a pretty candybar that features a 2 inch TFT screen with 256K colors and a QVGA resolution (240 x 320 pixels), a 2 Megapixel camera with video recording, NetFront 3.4 browser, Google Maps, 3D games and so on. The G502 only weighs 83 grams and measures 109 x 46 x 13.5 millimeters.
Already confirmed to hit the North American market via AT&T, Sony Ericsson Z780 is a clamshell that comes wits worldwide GSM (850 / 900 / 1800 / 1900 MHz) and HSDPA (850 / 1900 / 2100 MHz) connectivity. The handset also features a 2.2 inch internal TFT display (256K colors and 240 x 320 pixels), built-in GPS and A-GPS, a 2 Megapixel camera, Music player, Web and email capabilities, all in an elegant case that weighs exactly 100 grams and, when closed, it measures 92 x 49 x 16 millimeters.
Until now, there are no pricing details for the four new Sony Ericsson phones, but the most expensive among them will probably be the C902 while the G502 should be the most affordable.
