While the G705 will originally be launched this year for Orange customers, Sony Ericsson’s new device will make its debut in the US sometime during Q1 2009. The US version will support GSM/GPRS/EDGE 850/900/1800/1900 and UMTS/HSUPA 850/1900/2100 along with Bluetooth A2DP.
Among an impressive feature-set, the 3G slider features a 2.4-inch display with automatic screen rotation with help from an accelerometer, WiFi, aGPS with Google Maps for Mobile, 1GB included M2 memory, built-in FM radio, RSS reader, and full HTML browser. There’s also a 3.2 megapixel camera that will allow you to capture video and upload directly to YouTube under a new partnership with Google.
No US pricing or carrier availability has been announced just yet.
