ERICSSON PRESS RELEASE
February 17, 2003
Sony Ericsson unveils its first commercial 3G phone
Today, at the 3GSM World Congress in Cannes, France, Sony Ericsson
unveiled the Z1010 dual mode UMTS/GSM-GPRS phone. The clamshell Z1010
is designed to give consumers the best possible experience of
imaging, messaging and connectivity applications using 3G. Optimised
for video conferencing and video applications, it features two
inbuilt cameras, two displays, video support and a host of other
features.
This fully featured dual mode UMTS/GSM-GPRS mobile phone will be Sony
Ericsson's first in a line of 3G-products made available for the
consumer market. It is demonstrated featuring video calls and
streaming video applications, in a live 3G network in Cannes. The
Z1010 focuses on easy-to-use multimedia messaging, taking advantage
of the capacity and capability of 3G networks. For this, the
clamshell Z1010 features two displays and two cameras. The main
display is a full graphic 65K colour display and a grey scale status
display is located on the front panel of the phone, for easy access
to information when the phone is closed.
The integrated camera is easy to use for capturing still images and
video, which can then be sent as MMS or e- mail. There is also a
dedicated video call camera placed below the main display, so while
the camera is filming the user, he or she can watch the other party
in the display. To be able to easily move information between the
Z1010 and other devices, as well as for memory extension, the phone
features Sony Memory Stick Duo(TM) technology which makes it easy to
transfer images, video clips and music files to and from the phone.
"We are showing this product now to support operators' commercial 3G
launch programmes and to inspire users and application developers
with full 3G functionality support. 2003 will be the year when the
industry will have to focus heavily on interoperability and
standardisation in order to launch attractive 3G services and
applications," says Jan Wäreby, Corporate Executive VP, Head of Sales
and Marketing at Sony Ericsson. "Supporting this process is
definitely one of Sony Ericsson's strengths thanks to our Ericsson
heritage, closeness to the operators and the fact that we were the
first ones to carry out hand-over between GSM and 3G in September
2002," says Mr Wäreby.
Upon completion of interoperability testing (IOT) during Q2, there
will be full commercial availability to support operator launch
programmes during the second half of 2003. Sony Ericsson has been
shipping UMTS network test phones to selected operator customers
since the middle of 2002 and in September announced, together with
Ericsson, the first live, dual mode UMTS/GSM calls with seamless
handover between the two modes. The demonstration, which included
high data rate in live UMTS/GSM networks, was done on Sony Ericsson
test units based on a commercial platform developed by Ericsson
Mobile Platforms and it is also on this platform that the Z1010 is
based.

I think there will be other colour options when this phone is released. It looks a bit like Motorola's T720 to me. I'm not that keen on the design. |

Looks nice, even though I don't really like clamshell phones. But the features seems good...
And long range Bluetooth (100m)... great

most of the new phones today have clam-shell design which I think is a pity ......you cant separate a pansonic or a siemens or whatever it is and now a Sony Ericsson.....let's stick to the regular SE design!

Why two cameras? Does dual display mean the very small screen in the closed picture above?
Judging by past experience, we're looking at a release date of about May 2004? |
