Sony Ericsson has announced the new G502 and Z780, HSDPA handsets with landscape-mode web browsing, RSS feeds, picture blogging and e-mail access using web mail and Microsoft Exchange ActiveSync.
It seems that with both devices Sony Ericsson is going for affordable highly connected web focussed devices. Indeed, the G502 is Sony Ericsson’s cheapest HSDPA phone yet whereas the Z780 clamshell is an aGPS enabled sister handset to the Z770.
The G502 is a slim candybar offering which besides all of it’s online tricks sports a 320×240 pixel TFT QVGA display, 32MB internal memory and Memory Stick Micro support for up to 8GB. It also houses USB 2.0, Bluetooth 2.0, a 2.0 megapixel camera with 2.5x digital zoom, a video recorder/player and streaming and an FM radio with RDS. Hardly the sort of specs that will set your imagination ablaze but then, that old maxim, you get what you pay for comes to mind.
It seems that the Z780 is pretty much exactly the same handset but with aGPS and in clamshell form. Though we know they are supposed to be cheap, there has been no official wprd on pricing yet (strangely) but seeing as both devices are supposed to be releasing around about now, we shouldn’t have to wait too long to find out.
