Hands-on with the Sony Ericsson Z770 multimedia clamshellBy Philip Berne, 10 February 2008
We're not sure about the Z770's "Web 2.0" support, but the list of other features was surprising. Were we able to surf to our own homepage?

Sony Ericsson Z770 Specs »  Gallery »
Sony Ericsson Z770 The Sony Ericsson Z770 was the most mysterious phone at their Mobile World press conference. Though the company bragged about the phones "Web 2.0" capabilities, the phones on display were bolted to the wall and seemingly untethered from any network access. If this phone doesn't have flash support, it won't come close to living up to its promises, so we're curious to see what's really going on. This is a nice, small clamshell to come packed with a password manager for the Web and Exchange Active Sync support for corporate e-mail and calendar apps. Still, typing even moderately sized URLs on the small, flat, numeric keypad was a pain in our hands-on tests, so we can't imagine typing out an e-mail to the company. Release: April 2008. Price: $300.
Pros: Web 2.0 support, whatever that means. Exchange Active Sync support is rare on such a small, thin flip phone.
Cons: Display unit wasn't working, couldn't verify flash support. Keypad is small for typing, though features seem to require it.
