Sony Ericsson G900 using Symbian OS v9.1, with a touchscreen! This sounds so good!
Why using the touchscreen? The screen is very well calibrated, the stylus is comfortable, and the virtual keyboard can be used even only with fingers. On the other the interface is user friendly without the necessity to use it. It’s just that in 99% of the time you don’t need it (unless you use handwriting recognition or if you don’t want to draw). According to us the touchscreen is implemented to attract more customers, and is made simpler in order for the phone to be user friendly.
DESIGN:
with dimensions of 4.2 x 1.9 x 0.5 inch (106 x 49 x 13) and weighing at 3.5 oz (99g), this is a clean, pocket friendly phone, it is not ugly. With 2.4” TFT display on the top of the front face; it has a 240×320 pixel resolution and supports up to 262k colors. The video calling camera is positioned over it and the functionality buttons are below.
5-way D-pad and two couples of keys: notes and messaging shortcuts in the upper row and back and clear keys below. The two shortcuts hint about the key features of the phone. Those two keys are where ordinary the soft keys are situated. As such are actually missing in this model, it is taking some time to get used to the fact that one must press the bottom part of the touch screen.
Software and Features:
Sony Ericsson G900 runs on Symbian OS v9.1, UIQ 3.0. The interface is personalized in such a way that it’s easy to access by the average user. At the homescreen for example, we have the standby applications, which are there to make your life easier: shortcuts, favorite contacts, calendar appointments, new message - these all are listed by default, but with a few clicks you can add others such as alarm, music, bookmarks, and worldclock. The phone using a 5-megapixel camera with autofocus. It lets you manage the focusing area by tapping anywhere on the screen. It has lots of options, available in a list with large, easy to touch icons.
Unfortunately G900 is not HSDPA capable, the phone using tri-band (900/1800/1900MHz) GSM, single-band UMTS, but it has WiFi.
