Hands-on with the Sony Ericsson G900 touchscreen phoneBy Philip Berne, 10 February 2008
You might come for the stickies, but you'll stay for the impressive camera, with touch sensitive focusing. Read more about the G900 and check out our pics.

Sony Ericsson G900 Specs »  Gallery »
Sony Ericsson G900 The Sony Ericsson G900 is a step up from the new G700, with a 5-megapixel camera and Wi-Fi on board. But our favorite feature by far was the touch focus. With the camera active, we touched the part of the scene we wanted to see, and the camera focused on that spot. All cameras should have this feature. This phone may not impress with its sticky notes and sub-par handwriting recognition, but there is plenty more to like. Still, Wi-Fi doesn't exactly make up for the lack of 3G. Release: June 2008. Price: $500.
Pros: Very cool touch focus feature. Sticky notes and improved UIQ interface. Wi-Fi.
Cons: No U.S. 3G, which would have made this a killer device. Handwriting recognition didn't work for us.
