Sony Ericsson G700 has recently passed the FCC tests and, most probably, it will be soon launched on the US market. Part of Sony Ericsson's brand new G-series of handsets,
first announced during MWC 2008, G700 is a touchscreen candybar that combines business and multimedia features into one sleek and slim case.

Although G700 is not as evolved in features as the other Sony Ericsson G-series phone (G900), it's still a very nice handset capable of answering the needs of many mobile users out there. The handset measures 4.17 x 1.92 x 0.51 inches (106 x 49 x 13 mm), weighs 3.49 ounces (99 grams) and, like the G900, it's created to organize the lives of those who have busy schedules, both at home and at the office.

Sony Ericsson G700 runs on Symbian UIQ and comes with a simple to use interface. The phone packs a 2.4 inch TFT touchscreen (240 x 320 pixels and 256K colors), 3G connectivity, handwriting recognition, document reader & editor, organizer, voice memo & dial, StickyNotes, Opera browser, push email, Instant Messaging, RSS reader,

Media player (MP3, AAC and MPEG-4 support), TrackID for easy music recognition, FM radio with RDS, Bluetooth 2.0 with A2DP, USB 2.0 and Java MIDP 2.0. Moreover, G700 also comes with a pretty good 3.15 Megapixel camera with flash, image stabilizer and video recording, plus a secondary front camera for video calls.

The battery included in Sony Ericsson G700 is a 950 mAh Li-Ion one that should provide up to 12 hours of talk-time and up to 380 hours of stand-by time.

There's no word yet about when exactly the G700 will be commercially available in the US. Its retail price is also unknown, but users should expect to pay at least $400 for the slim touchscreen candybar.
