Beibei gets on the record as Sony Ericsson G702

The first hard enough evidence of the newest UIQ family member Sony Ericsson G702 has just appeared on the FCC website. The handset codenamed Beibei leaked online a couple of weeks ago but in a different color combo.

As you might have guessed, the FCC web site isn't all about publishing the full specs so the information is pretty scarce at this point. We can still get an idea from the photos and the enclosed manual. Sony Ericsson G702 is coming with a 3.2 megapixel camera, auto focus still doubtful at this stage. M2 memory expansion is also aboard. A three-position jog wheel and two scroll keys are in charge of navigation on the handset.

Sony Ericsson G702 features the latest 3.3 version of the Symbian UIQ user interface. The handset also packs a built-in GPS receiver and navigation software, as well as Wi-Fi and 3G connectivity. Bluetooth and USB go without saying.

The manual suggests Sony Ericsson G702 will feature the Opera 9.5 web browser with Flash Lite 3 support. This means browsing flash-based web sites, which is still enough of a rarity among mobile phones. You can check a demo of the excellent features of the Opera Mobile 9.5 web browser here.

The final feature we are able to confirm at this stage is Widgets support. So far, so good - should do for a taster. The ball is now with Sony Ericsson for an official announcement.
