Sony Ericsson K660 Sports Landscape Web Surfing on a Candybar
Posted by Adam Frucci at 5:05 AM on November 7, 2007
Sony Ericsson just announced its new K660 web-optimized candybar. Sporting HSDPA connectivity, it lets you surf the web using the 2-inch screen horizontally and has custom web shortcut buttons. It also comes loaded with Google Maps for Mobile, although you'll be typing in your location manually as there's no GPS on board. It also has a 2-megapixel digital camera, a music player with FM radio, Bluetooth, and it comes with a 256MB Memory Stick Micro. It's set to drop in the first quarter of 2008 in "select markets," which probably means Europe, but we'll keep you updated.

The beta version of Opera Mini 4 has landscape mode too. Works fine on my Nokia E50.

Don't all new phones have GPS to be used by Emergency services when you call 9-1-1? I know mine does, and my cell phone is four years old. I don't understand why something built in like this can't be used by applications like Google Maps.
