efficiency and style
14 February 2005
3GSM World Congress Cannes, France Sony Ericsson today revealed a
further addition to its growing portfolio of 3G UMTS products. With
its fast and easy data access and strong feature-set, the Z800 is a
serious productivity tool that will appeal to heavy mobile users
who appreciate efficiency and style. It takes full advantage of all
new services made accessible by mobile broadband networks, such as
video telephony, music and video streaming and download.
Building on the huge success of the V800 for Vodafone, the Z800
will be available in Q2, taking a proven concept to an even bigger
audience. It is perfectly tuned to work with high-speed UMTS mobile
networks where available. Productivity possibilities include using
it as a broadband modem for a laptop, enabling access to corporate
e-mail, Internet and intranet, and also Internet browsing and
e-mail access on the phone.
Using Bluetooth, IrDA or a USB cable, consumers can quickly
synchronize calendar, contacts and other data with their PC. There
is also ample storage capacity for Java applications, e-mail, video
clips, pictures or music. as the Z800 comes with a 64MB Memory
Stick Duo and supports up to 1GB Memory Stick PRO Duo.

mobile imaging. . The 1.3 Megapixel Motion Eye rotating camera,
which also has 4x digital zoom, can be started with just one press
of the dedicated camera button. With a second press, an image is
captured. Its then ready to be sent off as e-mail, MMS or locally
over Bluetooth, infrared or USB cable.
Similarly, just one press of the dedicated video call button is all
thats required to initiate a video call, making it simple to use
for business or pleasure. The inbuilt photo light provides
illumination to capture video or still images in badly lit
environments. Since the photo light is built in the Motion Eye, it
allows aiming the light directly at the object which is being
photographed.
For those precious moments when not on the phone, the Z800 also
functions as a music player activated with only one click on the
dedicated media player button. It comes with stereo handsfree and
supports MP3/AAC/M4A file formats. To give an extra powerful music
experience, the Mega Bass can be switched on. Using Sony
Ericssons popular PlayNow feature, consumers get one-click access
to a top-10 list of MP3 ringtones, and this is updated on a
continuous basis. Z800 comes pre-loaded with a fully functional
trial version of the popular Worldmate application, providing
useful information for global travelers. Exciting 3D Java games and
productivity applications such as dictionaries, travel and
financial tools, can be downloaded in selected markets at launch

Bluetooth headset matches the Z800 with its stylish and exclusive
design. Its also easy to see whos calling on the information
display and take or reject calls.
