First 3G phone from Sony Ericsson
Sony Ericsson is showing off its first 3G phone, the Z1010. It's a dual mode phone that works on GSM/GPRS/UMTS networks. This phone is a new design direction for SE with an Asian influenced clamshell design that breaks away from the past Ericsson-based designs. It's also the second device to incorporate Sony's new Memory Stick Duo storage format. Like many 3G devices video telephony is a key feature. But if GPRS phone sales are any indication, I suspect people will buy this phone because it looks cool not because it has two cameras and supports video calls.
Thank you for reading this Techdirt post. With so many things competing for everyone’s attention these days, we really appreciate you giving us your time. We work hard every day to put quality content out there for our community.
Techdirt is one of the few remaining truly independent media outlets. We do not have a giant corporation behind us, and we rely heavily on our community to support us, in an age when advertisers are increasingly uninterested in sponsoring small, independent sites — especially a site like ours that is unwilling to pull punches in its reporting and analysis.
While other websites have resorted to paywalls, registration requirements, and increasingly annoying/intrusive advertising, we have always kept Techdirt open and available to anyone. But in order to continue doing so, we need your support. We offer a variety of ways for our readers to support us, from direct donations to special subscriptions and cool merchandise — and every little bit helps. Thank you.
