Sony Ericsson Z750
Expected
Q3 2007 26th March 2007
The Sony Ericsson Z750 is a phone aimed
at the North American market. It comes in two colours (err.. colors
I suppose), and is a 3G UMTS device with quad-band
GSM, EDGE and HSDPA data. We'll look a little further
at these technical specifications a little later.
At first glance you might be forgiven
for thinking that the Sony Ericsson Z750 was identical
to the Z610i
found in Europe and elsewhere, and although they share
the same basic design, the Z750 is a somewhat larger
device with an improved primary display.
It's an attractive phone with a fashionable
glossy finish. The external 36x128 pixel display panel
is nicely hidden behind the Z750's shiny exterior and
only reveals itself when it lights up. Also on the outside
of the Z750 is a two megapixel camera.
Inside the Z750 is a somewhat subdued
interior with a quite understated and functional layout.
The primary display is a 2.2" 240x320 pixel panel
in 262,000 colours and the Z750 also has a secondary
camera for video calling (although this may vary by
operator).
Underneath, the Sony Ericsson Z750 takes
Memory Stick Micro cards with a maximum capacity of
2GB (128MB is included in standard configurations).
There's also stereo Bluetooth and an FM radio.
3G
devices such as this are pretty rare in North America
due to the fragmented nature of the UMTS network. In
order to cope with this, the Sony Ericsson Z750 has
tri-band UMTS supporting the 850, 1900 and 2100 MHz
frequencies. It also has quad band (850 / 900 / 1800
/ 1900 MHz) GSM, GPRS and EDGE data, plus HSDPA "3G
broadband" which can potentially reach download
speeds of several megabits per second. This means
that the Z750 should be able to offer high-speed data
connections pretty much anywhere in the world.
The software bundle includes an email
client, RSS news reader, web browser, MP3 player and
a selection of other multimedia applications and personal
information management tooks.
The Sony Ericsson Z750 will be available
in "Rose Pink" and "Phantom Grey"
colour combinations and is expected to be available
in North America from Q3 2007.
