Z770 and W980 are two intelligent clamshells that were recently presented under the Sony Ericsson brand. Both are specifically oriented devices, one for people who demand connectivity for their business and respectively – one for music lovers. SE Z770 supports 3G networks and lets you use it as a modem by connecting it via the USB cable to your laptop. The phone was also designed to interact to multiple in-car accessories, among which is the HCB-150 device that uses Google maps to guide you to a certain destination by announcing you verbally which direction to take next. To help you organize things on the go, the phone has also an e-mail client and the ability to access popular web-based mail services like Yahoo and Hotmail. The handset will be available in the second quarter 2008 in three colors: Vogue Red, Graphite Black and Exquisite Gold.
SE W980 is a proud representative of the Walkman series. It has a lot of great surprises you wouldn’t ever expect from a clamshell and that makes it even more appealing. So for the beginning we would mention the in-built 8GB of memory that definitely sets an edge for this model. Another remarkable feature is the in-built FM-transmitter that lets you share what is playing on your cell phone with your friends that have the FM radio on their mobile phones, or better – set a connection with the car stereo or other FM device. SE W980 comes armed with some brand specialties too: the shake control and the Track ID will certainly add to the fun. In order to set the maximum experience and comfort level, SE designed the new model to look exactly as a Walkman, when in a closed position. You can not only control, but also organize playlists directly from the front panel. The phone is planned to go on sale this year in the 2nd quarter and will include the Stereo Portable Handsfree HPM-77 as part of the retail package.
