New Sony Ericsson F305 Gaming Phone Announced

The new Sony Ericsson F305 with Motion Gaming puts ‘fun and entertainment’ at the heart of the mobile phone. In addition to horizontal gameplay and dedicated gaming controls - to let you control the action the way you are used to - the F305 lets the user control the action with a swing or a swipe of the phone. Using motion sensor technology, the phone can, for example, follow your actions to imitate bowling or casting a fishing line.



With the F305 your favourite game is only one-click away. Enjoy the full gaming experience with stereo speakers, which also come in handy for sharing the latest track on the media player. The Sony Ericsson F305 will pre-loaded with three motion games, “Bowling”, “Bass fishing” and “Jockey”. Additional motion games developed by Gameloft plus 50 more 2D and 3D games available for download at PlayNow. It also allows you to play games in Horizontal mode, however, only supported games will switch to this mode automatically. Just like Nitendo Wii, the F305 comes with a wrist strap in the box to prevent the phone flying off from your hand.


Never miss a fun or unexpected moment with the phones 2.0 megapixel camera. Share your photos or music with friends via Bluetooth or Memory Stick Micro (M2). It will also be possible to change the look of your phone with Style-up covers - two covers to choose from in box.

To complement the F305 there is also now a handy new accessory available for the serious gamer. Although the F305 gives you up to 8 hours of gameplay, there is always now a back-up with the Power Pack CPP-100. Attach it to your keyring and when you need it, simply plug it into the phone to receive an instant battery power boost.
The F305 with Motion Gaming will be available in Polar White and Mystic Black in selected markets from Q3 2008. It will be a Quad-Band EDGE phone supporting 850, 900, 1800 and 1900 frequency bands. Power Pack CPP-100 will be available in selected markets from Q4 2008
