Sony Ericsson Targets Gamers with F305

Jun 17, 2008, 6:17 AM by Eric M. Zeman

This latest slider from Sony Ericsson targets the youth market and is focused on providing an enriched gaming experience. It carries quad-band GSM/EDGE radios, as well as stereo Bluetooth and an FM radio. The F305 has what Sony Ericsson calls Motion Gaming. Similar to the Nintendo Wii, it is sensitive to movement, and will allow users to flick or swing the phone to interact with games, such as bowling or fishing. Sony Ericsson says developers are working on a wide range of 2D and 3D games for the device that will be available later this year. It has dedicated gaming buttons, stereo speakers, and has two different covers to personalize the phone. The F305 also comes with a 2 megapixel camera, supports Memory Stick Micro for storage, and media playback. It will be available in select markets in the fourth quarter.

No you can't have a free case if you buy the F305.....

Yea I agree about the insurance thing, these people kill me with that. When they walk into the store and they're like "whaaaat?!?! you can't just give me a new phone? well that one says its $19.99 why can't I just get that?" Then you wanna say to them... dumb #$% that's new activation price. You only get that once every 2 years. lol or the famous..."I lost my phone, cant you just give me another one." 🤣

Oh i know, I get that all the time. Dont you wish you could do that with say T.Vs, or cars for that matter. "My car broke, can I have that new one over there?"

It's really sad

I don't know who to blame SE or T-Mobile USA. All these nice phones coming out, and they refuse to support one another. Most SE phones seem to point to AT&T's network.

This phone is quad-band gsm & edge so you can totally use it on TMo USA but you're going to have to buy it sim free.

Bad Idea

I can see tons of kids breaking their phones because they are throwing it around trying to play a game. THen having to deal with the idiot parents trying to get it replaced with out insurance because they were to cheap to fork out the 5 bucks a month.

Sucks for parents but great for the manufacturer...

How Long...?

How long till someone sues SE when they throw their phone (on accident) and breaks something of value. like the lady who broke her $10,000 TV with her Wii controller.
