Sony Ericsson F305 ‘Wii Style’ Motion Gaming Handset Specifications &Image F305 Details Leaked Ahead of Official Announcement

Prior to Sony Ericsson's official announcement concerning their up and
coming F305 handset, which is expected on June 17, some initial details
have been leaked allowing us to get an early low-down concerning the
much anticipated F305 which promises to bring 'Wii style' motion
controlled gaming to your pocket and, whilst not wishing to dampen your
expectations in any way, it would appear that Sony Ericsson's F305 is
far from spectacular.Measuring in at 96 x 47 x 14.6mm, Sony Ericsson's
quad-band GSM F305 sports a 2' 262k TFT display offering a somewhat
uninspiring (some would say overly disappointing) 176 x 220 resolution,
comes with mere EDGE network connectivity, an integrated media player
with 10MB of built-in storage capacity which, thankfully, is expandable
with Memory Stick Micro cards and will purportedly offer up to eight
hours of continuous gaming between full charges (though, of course, this
will be reduced if making/taking calls).

The key feature, however, and perhaps the only feature of any particular
note, is the F305's motion controlled gaming capabilities whereby you'll
employ the phone very much like you do the Wii's controllers to control
in-game actions. Interestingly, there appears to be no wrist strap on
the F305 though, which will no doubt lead to more than a few F305's
becoming airborne during gaming - though this very depends on the force
required by the device's games (and this is yet to be established).

Three motion controlled games are pre-loaded on the F305, namely
Bowling, Jockey and Bass Fishing (the F305 comes with a virtual fishing
game - who would have thought it). By way of complimenting the F305's
motion sensing abilities the handset also comes with dedicated gaming
controls.

Due to be officially announced by Sony Ericsson this week (June 17) and
expected to become available sometime in Q3, we'll be interested to see
a little more detail as well as unit pricing bearing in mind the F305's
rather uninspiring specifications and, of course, we'll follow this post
with an update the moment Sony Ericsson spill the beans.
