NEWS: Sony Ericsson Z780 and G502 HSDPA Phones
In touch, on the move
Both the Z780 and the G502 come with the latest version of Google™ Maps for Mobile. This application allows you to view high quality maps that give you a satellite view of the local area and view listings of the restaurants and hotels, complete with any reviews or ratings available. The built-in aGPS functionality of the Z780 means that wherever you are, you’ll always be able to find what you need – whether locating the address of your friend’s party or finding the quickest route to your next meeting. Google™ Maps for Mobile then enables you to receive turn-by-turn directions that help you to find your way without complication.

With the G502, you just enter start and finish locations, and receive point-by-point directions of how to get to your destination. Plugging the GPS Enabler HGE-100 accessory into the phone adds GPS capability here as well, making sure that you need never get lost again.


In my own opinion, this phone is really good. It will come with a cheaper price (maybe less than US$300). And it’s quite a tall phone, taller in size than the K850. This is a web phone so all the connectivity options are here, except of course Wi-Fi. I like the design, and I feel more comfortable when the fast port is at the bottom, unlike SE’s newer releases.
I don’t need a videocall cam. I don’t need a 5MP cam either as I have already a 7MP digicam.
I just hope it’s video playback is good. No more pixelations, on time audio-video synching, etc.
i think g502 is out in in the store
The pictures released by SonyEricsson show this phone as white with purple/black trim but in the video it’s silver, not white as I had expected. Are all versions of the z780 mostly silver in appearance?
