Sony Ericsson today announced it’s first HSDPA phone, the rather pocketable Z750. Sporting both the new HSDPA high-speed data format and quad-band EDGE support, SE’s new 110g/ 97.4 mm x 49 mm x 20 mm clamshell is definitely on-the-money when it comes to features. We’re talking Bluetooth Stereo, 2MP camera, ‘hidden’ OLED display under the outer shell, FM radio, up to 2GB Memory Stick Micro, 2.2″ QVGA screen, RSS support, HTML browser, push email… the works, basically.
On top of all that, the Z750 is also Sony Ericsson’s first handset to be based on its new Java Platform 8 (JP-8), which promises features such as instant messaging/ chat and ‘presence based functionality’, banking and payment security, plus ‘location aware’ functions such as mapping.
Expect to see it in stores sometime around Q3 this year. Which used to be called autumn, we think.
