Flaunt your fab phone: Fido scoops up Sony Ericsson Z750i
Hey, their catchphrase, not ours! Canada's Fido has gone public with Sony Ericsson's latest midrange 3G clam for North America -- the latest released one, anyway -- and they're celebrating the occasion with a nice little package deal. Purchasers of the Z750i are entitled to a free Sony Ericsson Bluetooth headset -- though it'll take a three-year contract to win you the freebie, and we're pretty sure Bluetooth will have been succeeded by at least three or four technologies during that eon. Meanwhile, your children, their children, and their children will have all been born, man will have set foot on Pluto, and RAZR V3s will still be sold on carriers the world over. We digress, though; you can pick it up for $100 CAD (about $101) now on that three-year plan with a data package included. Silver appears to be the only color available at the moment, though we wouldn't be surprised to see that palette expand in the near future.[Via MobileSyrup]
FIDO adds a bit more HSDPA to its lineup with the Sony Ericsson Z750i
Nice to see FIDO isn't completely left in the mud when it comes to reasonable handsets in Canada -- as a reminder, Rogers, FIDO's parent company, usually enjoys all the glory -- with the launch of the Sony Ericsson Z750i. Nothing new to report here in comparison with AT&T's offering, that is, if you choose to ignore video calling. The Z750i hit FIDO stores near you on Tuesday, prices range from $100 -- with data plan, $200 without -- on a 3 year stretch, $325 on two years, and $400 off contract. Woof Woof.
Sony Ericsson Z750i finds its way through FCC
Sony Ericsson is starting, slowly but surely, to warm up to the concept of North American 3G bands with the K850 candybar and Z750 flip both in the mix (no smartphones yet, but we'll take what we can get). Don't believe it? We don't blame you -- despite the official announcements, neither model has launched yet and Sony Ericsson's been neglecting the market here for years -- but we've got an FCC approval here to back it up. This one happens to be for the Z750i, a reasonably attractive handset featuring a 2 megapixel cam, 2.2 inch primary and OLED secondary displays, integrated FM radio, Memory Stick Micro M2 slot, and Exchange ActiveSync support. Here's the kicker, though: Sony Ericsson has actually committed to launching this tri-band HSDPA phone in North America before the rest of the world, giving us one small victory in the battle to put some quality European hardware in our pockets. No offense, Nokia, we love you guys too.
