We have a new clamshell design mobile phone coming from Sony Ericsson, the Sony Ericsson SO706i, and will be available via NTT DoCoMo, and well that is only to be expected since Sony is from Japan it only seems fair the Japanese market should receive yet another good mobile phone.
As previously said, the Sony Ericsson SO706i mobile phone is of a clamshell design with a 2.8 inch 262k colour, 240 x 427 pixel resolution internal display with external LEDs announcing incoming calls, and features Mobile TV, Google Maps and integrated Google search, supports Flash Lite 3.0, advanced e-mail and web capabilities, the good old microSD expansion slot which will accept microSD cards up to 2GB, and finally a 2 megapiaxel camera with Auto Focus and video recording.
The Sony Ericsson SO706i mobile phone measures 105 x 49 x 13.4mm with a weight of 98 grams, with a battery life of up to 3.6 hours talk time and up to 290 hours of standby time or 1.67 hours when in TV viewing mode. The Sony Ericsson SO706i looks to be available in several colours as well.
The Sony Ericsson SO706i mobile handset will hit NTT DoCoMo shops in Japan on 4th July, and should retail at around 40,000 Japanese Yen which is in the region of $380 USD or 240 Euros.
