New Mobile Broadband Handset Available in the U.S. Only from AT&T
RALEIGH, N.C.--(Business Wire)--
Mobile phone owners no longer have to decide between high
performance and attractive design when choosing a new handset with the
new Sony Ericsson Z750a. Available in the U.S. exclusively at AT&T,
the Z750a is an affordable and stylish handset with a mirrored
clamshell design and a hidden exterior display that illuminates when
the phone is in use. As Sony Ericsson's first 3G/HSDPA handset for the
U.S. market, the Z750a features mobile broadband for a high-speed
Internet(1)connection and access to multimedia content that
complements its multimedia player, 2.0 megapixel camera, Internet(1)
browser and e-mail(2) capability using AT&T's Mobile Email
application.

   "Sony Ericsson continues to expand its North American portfolio
with a distinctive and signature design that combines entertainment,
style and speed in a sleek device," said Karen Morris, vice president
of marketing for Sony Ericsson North America. "Representing one of our
most distinctive and colorful 3G clamshells, the Z750a will appeal to
those who want to do more with their phone - share music, high-quality
pictures, browse the Internet - and project a sophisticated image all
their own. We are delighted that AT&T will offer this device in the
U.S. along with the hugely successful W580 Walkman(R) Phone."

   The Z750a works hard, offering features such as data download
transfer speeds from 600 to 1400 kbps from AT&T's High Speed Packet
Access (HSPA) 3G network, support for AT&T's Mobile Email, a 2.0
megapixel camera, full HTML web browsing(1) capabilities and stereo
Bluetooth(R)(3) support (A2DP). The Z750a also plays hard with 3D
gaming capabilities, a media player that supports numerous media file
types for listening to your favorite music tracks and video. The phone
has up to 26MB(4) of internal memory and is Memory Stick Micro(TM)
(M2(TM)) compatible - currently upgradeable to 8GB(5) - providing
ample storage space for photos, videos, music, games and more.

   No matter how smart and powerful the Z750a may be on the inside,
it still dares to be sleek and sophisticated on the outside. The Z750a
has a reflective mirror clamshell casing and hidden organic
light-emitting diode (OLED) reflective display screen on the front of
the phone that discretely illuminates when receiving a call,
displaying caller identification. When active, it also displays
battery life, text message alerts and other useful information. To
match anyone's personal style, the Z750a launches in three tantalizing
color choices: Mysterious Purple, Phantom Grey and Rose Pink.

   The Sony Ericsson Z750a will be available at AT&T stores and
authorized dealers in early April for $49.99 after a $100
mail-in-rebate and new two-year service contract.
