Hang on, I see call and hang up keys, so this is a phone too, right?
it's Sony, not Sony Ericsson
SE does not make cameras and the read link shows a camera, not a phone. What's going on man?
If you read through and even just looking at the pictures, this is a phone also.
It's kind of like a super device. It just needs a better OS.
it's a phone. look at the call buttons.
"It's kind of like a super device. It just needs a better OS."
Except its internal design lacks even a rudimentary replication of the CyberShot it's trying to ape. You can see from the main pic above that it's got nothing more than a crappy cell phone camera behind that slider. It doesn't look "super" at anything.
I think it is a phone. And i want one. What is this thing actually called?
I see its called the sony t700. But sony doesnt actually make it? I am clearly out to lunch
it's a phone. again.
There is a Sony T700 CAMERA as well http://crave.cnet.co.uk/digitalcameras/0,39029429,49298483,00.htm
.. I'm not convinced the lens is capable of optical zoom - it looks like a fixed lens from a cheap web-cam. There seems to be some confusion as to the number of pixels indication on the casing - is it 5 or 8 mega-pixels?
lol the mobile mentalism article ousts this phone for having a .3 megapixel camera. Nice I cant wait
"a 5x optical zoom (seriously?)"
u seem shocked... the T100 has 5x optical zoom
hey ahh my korean is not up to par. can anyone tell me what that page says?
"On the side of the phone it proudly says "8.0 megapixels", while the sticker on the back claims it's just 5 megapixels. Worse, closer inspection reveals it's actually just a VGA camera - just 0.3 megapixels!
Well who said a fake phone couldn't have a fake spec as well?!"
That was just too funny.
It is a Sony phone for Japan.
So wait, they updated a Sony Camera and placed a Sony Ericsson firmware so you can call too?
Haha I'd recognize that OS anywhere, it's the good old CECT OS, as seen on such fantastic products such as the iFOE and the Nokir N95
dude has a huge index finger
cmon guys, do u guys get it?
this is from china. that should basically say everything.
if it still doesnt ring a bell..its a knockoff..the interface is in chinese..its not really made by SE
wow, never seen so many people confused by a fake product before.
they did a good job if i must say, if it bamboozles so many people on engadget
Nyahahaha... It's a china phone dudes...
the same breed as the china phone clones.
I want to know what they mean by "Touch your dream."
Obiously, being the hell of a convergance device it is, it records your dreams and thus enables you to poke at them using the highly intuitive new oneirology interface they have developed.
Can you install Android?
just bought one of the cameras, 100 bucks off a futureshop for sony days...Amazing camera!
