Sony Ericsson introduces its second lifestyle of imaging communication with its second Cyber-shot™ phones – K900 and K890 camera phones deliver a greater level of imaging quality
21 December 2006
21 December 2006, London – Sony Ericsson takes digital imaging in camera phones to greater heights today with the launch of the K900 and K890 phones, the second handsets to carry the Cyber-shot™ brand, a true mark of imaging quality. Both are highly capable mobile phones with integrated 5.1 Megapixel digital cameras with Autofocus, Xenon flash and BestPic™ - Sony Ericsson’s unique imaging technology that allows you to capture exactly the moment you desire. K900 and K890 combine advanced image capture capabilities with high speed data transfer, making them perfect tools for shooting and sharing high quality pictures and videos. K900 is a dual-mode UMTS/GPRS phone and the K890 is a Tri Band EDGE phone. Both are available from Q1 2007.
"With this Cyber-shot™ phone we aim to improve on the success of the K800i lifestyle of ‘imaging communication’ by combining Sony Ericsson’s unique mobile applications and Sony digital imaging technologies,” said Rikko Sakaguchi, Senior Vice President, Product and Application Planning, Sony Ericsson. "Our aim has always been to innovate and create new values for the mobile life, and with this new Cyber-shot™ phone we will enable anyone to enjoy an even greater level of communication – taking quality pictures of anything, anytime and anywhere, and sharing their precious moments with others."
The versatile swivel design makes it easy to multitask between the K900’s/K890’s many functions, a feature which gives the phone an advantage over dedicated imaging devices. The direct function buttons get the user swiftly into Cyber-shot mode where it is possible to take advantage of the many new and innovative features.
The handsets have a classic Sony Ericsson design, with a large 2.3” screen and responsive, tactile keypad with a sleek and stylish dual front phone design. Turn the phones horizontally and there you have a digital still camera. Simply slide the active lens cover downwards and a user interface similar to that of a Cyber-shot™ camera automatically appears.
Tradition is carried over from the K800i by including BestPic™, which ensures that you never ‘miss’ an important picture. Press the shutter button once and get 7 full quality 5.1 megapixel pictures to choose from in a time sequence – 3 pictures before and 3 pictures after the actual image you captured. All 7 pictures are displayed as icons on the display. Simply scroll backwards and forwards through the 9 images and save the ones you like best.
The K900 and K890 offer full support for a complete digital imaging lifestyle. Printing is possible without the need for a PC thanks to PictBridge™, a feature that transfers pictures directly to a printer by using a USB cable. Storing and managing image files on your PC are made easy with the supplied Adobe software, and the phones are among the first to feature fully integrated Picture Blogging Blogging is growing exponentially as a way of sharing personal experiences with words and images, and Picture Blogging in K900 and K890 allows users to create and update personal blogs directly from the phone in just a few clicks.
Business users will find the K900 and K890 valuable work tools while out of the office and the functional Mist Grey casing fits neatly with the professional image. Full HTML browsing with RSS feeds and Google Search give you high-speed, graphic-rich Internet use. Support for standard push email and a connectivity suite comprising Bluetooth® 2.0, USB 2.0, Memory Stick Micro™ (M2™) and Mini-SD means that keeping in touch is effortless. A complete entertainment package including music player, 3D gaming and an RDS FM radio are also provided for business downtime or relaxation.
