SE hasn’t had an interesting announcement since Xperia, which was more air than substance, and the T707 is not likely to get SE back in a competitive form. That’s probably why they’ve hired Maria Sharapova, a beautiful former tennis star, who like Sony Ericsson has been on top before–though not necessarily in the game of tennis. This is a bit of a blow for SE fans, and there are many, that the company has to resort to pure marketing to get its numbers up.

• GSM/GPRS/EDGE 850/900/1800/1900 and UMTS/HSDPA 2100 or, alternatively, the T707a: GSM but UMTS/HSDPA 850/1900/2100
• GPS with
• Geo tagging of photos and Google Maps
• 3.2 MP camera
• Gesture control
• FM with RDS
