SONY ERICSSON G705
Sony Ericsson’s new 3G slider phone has a six-centimetre screen with an illuminated zoom Web shortcut key in case those Web pages are making you squint. It also features a full HTML browser, built-in GPS with Google Maps for Mobile and Wayfinder navigation. Sony Ericsson has announced a partnership with Google so users will be able to instantly download and upload video directly from their phone to YouTube, making it another alternative for the iPhone. That’s plus music, a 3.2 megapixel camera with LED flash, WiFi and all the other gizmos you’d expect. It’s to be released in time for Christmas. www.sonyericsson.com
