SonyEricsson’s 802SE is a killer device. Nice screen, SVG compliant, not too big, easy to handle. Much better specs than the Nokia and Motorola 3G-phones. We expect this phone to hit the top rank in Vodafone’s Japanese sales of handsets.
Main specs:
* network: W-CDMA / GSM tri-band (900, 1800, 1900 MHz)
* weight: 128 gram
* size: 49*102*23.6 mm (clamshell)
* main display: 2.2 inch (220*176 pixels), 260,000 colors TFT
* subdisplay: 1 inch (101*80 pixels), 65,000 colors CSTN
* main mobile camera: 130,000 pixel CMOS (digital zoom 4 times)
* photo storage capacity: &MB

* PC link for PC synchronization of schedule and addresses
Vodafone introduced tw0 3G Motorola phones in the Japanese market: a straight model (702sMO) and a clamshell (702MO). After having boot problems with the 702sMO, we had more luck with the clamshell.
We expect the Motorola’s not gain an interesting market share. User interface and phone features are not to appealing for the spoiled Japanese customer. Also, the external memory can only be removed after taking the battery out — reminds us of Nokia’s N-Gage.
Both phone types have the same basic specs:
* network: W-CDMA / GSM tri-band (900, 1800, 1900 MHz)
* weight: 139 gram
* size: 49*94*27 mm (clamshell) / 53*116*24.5 mm (straight)
* main display: 1.9 inch (220*176 pixels), 65000 colors TFT
* subdisplay: 1 inch (96*80 pixels), 4000 colors STN
* main mobile camera: 310,000 pixel CMOS
* sub camera: 100,000 pixel CMOS
* photo storage capacity: 2MB
* memory card: Transflash 32MB
* sound: 24 voices
* Java, TV video, USB port
* PC link for PC synchronization of schedule and addresses
We promised earlier this week to give you a review on the latest 3G-series of Vodafone released in the Japanese market. Well, we started with the Motorola 702sMO — one of the two models released by Motorola.
We switched the phone on and saw the following screen:
Oops, the phone stopped booting. The screen showed: ‘ready to program’. The Vodafone shop where we bought the phone is looking into the issue. Hopefully, not many people will suffer from the Vodafone/Motorola quality control.
