Sony Ericsson today announced the launch of the Z770i, an elegant clamshell optimized for the web using HSDPA data speeds. 
The Z770i is designed to surf the web or receive the latest news, and the 'email set-up wizard' makes it simple to access the inbox. With Exchange ActiveSync, users can configure the Z770i to have work emails pushed straight to the phone.
Surf the web or retrieve email directly on the phone or connect the Z770i to a laptop (via USB Cable) and use it as a modem. Once online, web browsing is easy through the Magnetic Mouse Pointer that is controlled by the navigation key. The key changes the icon depending on its position on the Web page (i.e. from text input to pointer or to link). Pan and zoom into an area for easy reading on the good-sized (2.2-inch) screen.
Receive RSS feeds from news or entertainment as the action happens or click on the RSS tile, or 'widget,' for instant access to favorite web pages from the phone's desktop (or standby screen). In addition, the Z770i has a built-in weather forecast application, allowing users to receive regular weather updates. Consumers can also snap a photo on the Z770i and upload it instantly to their own blog site.
The Z770i will be available in Vogue Red, Graphite Black and Exquisite Gold in selected markets from Q2 2008.
