Sony Ericsson is having
a bit of trouble keeping its newest lineup on the down low, but we suppose that's the price of fame. Most notable of the new crew is the F305 (pictured), which isn't exactly feature-packed, boasting of mere EDGE speeds, a Memory Stick Micro slot, a 2-inch 176 x 220 display and some music playback features. What sets it apart is a built-in accelerometer for motion controlled games. The game-oriented face buttons are also a perk, but we hope this thing has enough processing power to handle something actually entertaining. The S302 Snapshot is camera-oriented, but only just barely, with a 2 megapixel fixed focus camera, a flash, and PhotoFix software. You can also shoot video, with 20MB of built-in storage, and Memory Stick Micro expansion. Both phones come with A2DP and will be announced on the 17th, according to whoever leaked all this info. The F305 should hit Q3, with the S302 to follow in Q4. Sony Ericsson will also be busting out three stylish but cheap-seeming Bluetooth headsets to accompany these two.

@ phanbouy - I concur
I propose a total boycott on SE news until they give us the X1 experia as they promised
@ the people dissing the graphics
That game has been photoshopped onto the screen obviously, It's an old game which comes with most Sony Ericsson phones (especially my old one) entitled "Johnny Crash", highly addictive.

Yeah, when you're packing a 176x220 screen, really, graphics are automatically crap...which is why I'm curious they've slapped these crap specs on this device, I mean, even QVGA would've been acceptable. This is the resolution at which most crappy video-phones record.
SE = Fail
gaming oriented... those words automatically lead me to thinking of low-end NES emulators. and when your honest with yourself, thats all any of us really care about
and for those of you who got angry at that last comment, i don't care what features you really buy your phone for. i made a joke
Does this not make you think the PSP Phone can't be too far down the road??
176 x 220 is just, horrible.
like.no.other.
THOSE GRAPHICS SUCK
Should of just called it the Sony Ericsson Sixaxis it evnen has 2 playstation buttons.
