Sony Ericsson makes good on Motion Gaming F305 and S302 Snapshot handsets

We'll make this quick since we've already given you all the details related to Sony Ericsson's Motion Gaming F305 and S302 Snapshot. The F305 quad-band GSM/EDGE slider relies upon a motion-sensing accelerometer (pictured bowling), dedicated gaming controls, and stereo speakers to create the gaming experience -- an experience hampered by a wee 2.0-inch, 176 x 220 display. It ships with a standard 8-hour battery with an optional CPP-100 backup battery pack to extend play. The quad-band GSM/EDGE S302 Snapshot is just a regular ol' candybar with 2 megapixel sensor, photo light, video recording, and plenty of build-up trying to position it as a camera first, phone second. Both hit in Q4.

Lawlz,

It'll be good when youtube is laced with videos of people accidentally throwing their Motion Gaming phones through windows, furniture, pets, other people.

I was about to say that - I do hope that the phones have straps a la WiiMote. With my butterfingers and bad luck, I'd end up biffing my phone down a busy road into the path of an oncoming truck whilst trying to bowl a 300 at the bus stop.

Japanese DoCoMo phones have had motion sensing games since 904 series last year. I'd had no problems with broken electronics/windows/pets whilst using my D904/5i..

Let's face it, you'd have to be a freakin' moron to let go of the thing with the screen on it.

What's with Tom Cruise's half-brother lifting The Jesus' Clitoris ball with his one arm? This is the worst promo pic ever.

[Brad @ Jun 17th 2008 4:37AM]

Sorry, Tom Cruise and Keanu Reeves' love child.

[Big Al @ Jun 17th 2008 6:26AM]

No kidding. I thought this was something out of the Matrix. The guy's resemblance to Keanu Reeves doesn't help.

[Nate @ Jun 17th 2008 10:56AM]

Worst ever pic. Yes.

[j_g_puff @ Jun 17th 2008 12:17PM]

Show some respect! His dogtags clearly show that he's a vet.

[fontendet24 @ Jun 17th 2008 1:18PM]

I think i've already seen that guy.
He's actor in european gay porno films.

[MarkP @ Jun 20th 2008 9:52AM]

@fontendet24
I'm glad you recognize him..

[j_g_puff @ Jun 17th 2008 4:41AM]

So I guess whilst your actually performing the bowl, you can't look at the screen. You'll just have to stare into the distance and pretend you can see some pins. I can't wait until people start doing that on buses.

[shimmy shimmy yah @ Jun 17th 2008 5:26AM]

how do you see the screen when lets say... bowling?


and for gods sake , and sonys this WOULD NOT want to be the psp phone!

[BratPAQ @ Jun 17th 2008 5:54AM]

maybe it also replaces the joyctick?

"damn, where is that contact?" *shakes the phone* "nope not this one" *shakes furiously* "there it is!" *nudge the phone to start calling*

[Mobius_1 @ Jun 17th 2008 10:54AM]

So it looks like you are masturbating when you scroll down through that list? No thanks

[That Fender Strat Guy @ Jun 17th 2008 6:17AM]

You too can now wave your phone around like a Wii nunchuck; gain odd looks, lose friends, fling it under a bus or at a stranger’s head. The fun never ends.

[Kipz @ Jun 17th 2008 6:34AM]

Oh my 2.0-inch screen in a gaming phone.... sorry, but this is just SE being SE again. It just hurts my head sometimes thinking how stupid they can be. They have dropped to 5th place while 4th place have been taken by LG in market shares. You just would think that they could really be able to fight with Nokia and Samsung considering Sony should have tech available to these phones that really arent phones anymore, but it's amazing how blind they are.
C905 seems okish(thought still only 2.4 screen and all the same as before, but with 8mp camera that at least reviews till now have been sayig that it's still slacking behind Nokia and Sams in quality). Good thing about that phone is that it looks okish.

[Pradster @ Jun 17th 2008 8:05AM]

That dude is Gay!

[Beast @ Jun 17th 2008 9:03AM]

His pose is a little disturbing.

[natels @ Jun 17th 2008 9:14AM]

Keanu from Bill & Ted with a hipster twist.

[Brian @ Jun 17th 2008 10:48AM]

I still think it needs a strap. It is a disaster waiting to happen without one.

[Mobius_1 @ Jun 17th 2008 10:57AM]

Imagine these people with a bluetooth headset, they'll be talking to nonexistent people furiously waving a handset about. What a tool... they'll look

[Deishawn @ Jun 17th 2008 11:57AM]

gogo power rangers!

[Chris @ Jun 17th 2008 4:37PM]

Hot guy.
I'd do him.
