BGR: The Three Biggest Letters In Tech » G705 http://www.bgr.com Sat, 11 Feb 2012 04:30:43 +0000 en hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.2.1 Sony Ericsson Rika is the W705 http://www.bgr.com/2008/10/12/sony-ericsson-rika-is-the-w705/ http://www.bgr.com/2008/10/12/sony-ericsson-rika-is-the-w705/#comments Sun, 12 Oct 2008 14:57:12 +0000 Kelly Hodgkins http://www.bgr.com/?p=6152

That stylish Sony Ericsson slider, the Rika, has been given a model name: the Walkman W705. The W705 will be the Walkman version (obviously) of the G705 and will share the same specifications:

  • GSM/GPRS/EDGE 850/900/1800/1900
  • 2.4″display (320×240)
  • 3.2 megapixel camera
  • Wi-Fi
  • Bluetooth 2.0 (A2DP)
  • aGPS

The phone is expected to be announced later this month and available for sale in February 2009. With the G705 expected to head stateside sometime in Q1 2009, we hope this sleek and sexy slider will follow suit. Can’t you just wait to buy some overpriced Sony Ericcson phones from a Sony Style store?

The not-yet-announced Sony Ericsson Rika just made its first appearance in luscious red over at justAMP. The Rika appears to be a pimped-out Walkman version of the G705 slider with a front-facing camera and possibly 3g under the hood. More information should be forthcoming soon as a sweet-looking phone like this can’t be kept under wraps for too much longer. One more shot after the jump.

Sony Ericsson fans have reason to rejoice this morning as the handset manufacturer has finally made its anticipated G705 official. Sure, we’ve seen and read plenty already but now we’ve got the official specs and equally as important, a time line. Here’s where it gets a little tricky; those of you who have been waiting for this sexy little slider are going to have to keep waiting. It looks like the G705 isn’t scheduled to become available here in the US until sometime in Q1 2009, though it will be released in Q4 2008 elsewhere. Some more bad news for US SE fans is that while Sony Ericsson has announced that it will issue a UMA-enabled G705u version of this handset (SE’s first UMA phone), it will be an Orange exclusive. Ok, ok. Enough bad news – now for the good stuff:

  • GSM/GPRS/EDGE 850/900/1800/1900
  • Tri-band 3G in the US version – UMTS/HSUPA 850/1900/2100
  • 2.4-inch display
  • HTML browser
  • Automatic screen-orientation rotation
  • Inbuilt aGPS combined with Google Maps for Mobile and Wayfinder
  • WiFi and DLNA certified, Bluetooth 2.0 (A2DP)
  • 3.2 megapixel camera with Photo fix and geotagging support
  • YouTube compatible – upload video directly to YouTube
