Nokia, Sony Ericsson, Motorola and Samsung are showcasing their latest devices, which seem to bring a new fresh air into the telecommunication world. Today, Sony Ericsson has made the greatest number of launches, announcing no less than 6 high-end handsets and they are not over yet.
We have been acquainted with the first Windows Mobile-powered device called XPERIA X1, the latest Walkman series handset, W980, and 2 touch-screen phone featuring Symbian UIQ OS. Cyber-shot series couldn't be left behind, so obviously SE's showcased not 1, but 2 of its latest monster camera phones - Sony Ericsson C702 Cyber-shot and C902 Cyber-shot. The two phones, packed with the latest camera technology, make it effortless to take perfect pictures - day or night - and instantly share them with friends and family.
Sony Ericsson C702 Cyber-shot can take pictures almost in any environment, as it's splash and dust resistant. It features a built-in GPS receiver with location-based imaging where users will be able to sort and view their photos according to where they took them. When users take a picture, information about where they are in the world is automatically added to the image.
The C702 Cyber-shot is engineered to let users take pictures in any position. The camera key and the active lens cover are specifically designed and placed so that users can stabilize the 3.2 megapixel camera and capture the moment with one hand. Combined with steady-grip materials and a wrist-strap provided in-box, and the C702 Cyber-shot really is geared to go in more places than you might think of.
The handset also integrates Google Maps for Mobile, which helps to locate and guide users to where they want to go. The GPS pinpoint location feature can be used together with the turn-by-turn voice guidance to any destination.
The C702 Cyber-shot is a UMTS/HSDPA 2100 and EDGE/GPRS 850/900/1800/1900 phone that will be available in selected markets in Speed Black or Cyan Blue from Q2 2008.
Sony Ericsson C902 Cyber-shot is amazingly slim phone with unique slide-out lens cover. The ultra-compact, stylish and with a unique lens cover that slides open to reveal the 5.0 megapixel Auto Focus camera, the C902 Cyber-shot sports a camera performance beyond its sleek and slim looks. The phone's lighting dramatically signals when users are in camera mode by switching from white to blue. The eight camera touch keys come to life and let users choose between camera modes, Photo Flash, Face Detection and Auto Focus, and more with just one touch without moving their finger from the shutter button.
With the C902 Cyber-shot, users only need to slide open the active lens cover and shoot. The Face Detection and Auto Focus capability enables the camera to detect and focus on the face of any subject rather than the background, so that pictures can be sharp and of the highest quality. Sony Ericsson C902 Cyber-shot incorporates the latest in lighting technology - Photo Flash - giving users better quality pictures even in low-light conditions. Also, a light solution has been added to the established BestPic feature, which lets you take nine photos in quick succession, choose the best and delete the rest.
