Sony Ericsson G900

Symbian Ltd. welcomed Sony Ericsson's announcement of a new UIQ on Symbian OS mainstream smartphone. The Sony Ericsson G900 has personal organiser capabilities combined with easy finger-touch control, bringing users a media-rich experience without compromising on the size or shape of the mobile phone. The Sony Ericsson G900 has a regular keyboard and is no larger than a regular phone. Running on Symbian OS, the world's leading open mobile operating system, ensures the highest level of power efficiency and platform security.
