Sony Ericsson Hits with a 1-2 Punch:
a 3G + UMA Phone

In a move long-anticipated by operators and consumers alike, Sony Ericsson has finally launched the 3G G705u (u for UMA), its first UMA-enabled dual-mode handset. Not only is this Sony Ericsson's first UMA devices, it's one of the first 3G/UMA devices ever.

The G705u is exclusive to Orange, who will make it available in early Q4 to its 1 million and growing Unik subscribers across France, the U.K., Spain and Poland. Orange announced just earlier this week it is launching the first 3G UMA platform and is already fulfilling its promise of more and exciting dual-mode handsets.

The G705u features include a 2.4-inch display with automatic screen rotation courtesy of an accelerometer, aGPS with Google Maps for Mobile, 1GB included M2 memory, built-in FM radio, RSS reader, and full HTML browser. It also features a 3.2 megapixel cam that can capture video and then upload directly to YouTube under a new partnership with Google.

More details about the specifications are available on the Sony Ericsson site.
