Sony Ericsson S302 and F305 appear earlier

Tuesday, June 17th, will be an interesting day for Sony Ericsson. Two of the phones the Swedish-Japanese company will announce have been leaked — mobile gaming focused - F305 and quick shooter - S302.

Touted as the company's first motion gaming enabled phone (even though the W910i and K850i also have built-in accelerometers), the F305 is the quad-band GSM + EDGE handset. It has dedicated gaming buttons around its 2-inch 176×220 screen, and loud stereo speakers on the back to make the gaming experience more enjoyable. There's also Bluetooth support, 2 megapixel camera, Memory Stick Micro (M2) slot, FM radio, music player with TrackID support. Three games come pre-loaded with the device - Bowling, Bass fishing, and Jockey. The Sony Ericsson F305 is a low-to-mid range device, measuring 96×47x14.6 mm and weighing 97.5 grams. It will be available in "select markets" in Q3 2008, in "Polar White" and "Mystic Black."

On the other hand, the quad-band GSM+EDGE Sony Ericsson S302 will be sold as an affordable camera phone. It has the same screen as the F305, and also comes with Bluetooth support, FM Radio, 2 megapixel camera and memory card slot. The S302 is the first device in the new Sony Ericsson's series - Snapshot. It measures 101×46x11, weighs 79 grams and will be available in "Thunder Grey" and "Crystal Blue" in Q4 this year.

In addition to new phones, the Sony Ericsson will also unveil new Bluetooth headsets - HBH-PV-715, HBH-PV-720 (supports StyleUp covers) and HBH-PV-740 (features a status display).

The S302 stands at only 11mm thickness and weighs the mere 79g. It's got a TFT display with a resolution of 176 x 220 pixels.

Sony Ericsson are in for a major announcement next week - leaked phones are already piling up by the day. We even expect that the Sony Ericsson P5 will be announced along too.

Today's leaked handsets are Sony Ericsson S302 (the so-called Snapshot series according to the internal Sony Ericsson naming convention) and Sony Ericsson F305 (a new portable gaming series).

Sony Ericsson S302 is quad-band GSM/EDGE device with a 2 megapixel camera (no autofocus here). There's also a LED photo flash and the PhotoFix application. The Sony Ericsson S302 is obviously a lower-midrange handset and you can't expect much from it. You also get 20MB of onboard memory, Memory Stick Micro card slot, Bluetooth (A2DP), USB and FM radio.

The Sony Ericsson S302 is set to be available in Q4 in Thunder Grey and Crystal Blue colors. Official announcement is expected on June 17th. There's no pricing information yet.

The Sony Ericsson F305 is again a quad-band GSM/EDGE device. Obviously being a gaming-oriented device it features a built-in accelerometer and three pre-installed games: Bowling, Bass fishing and Jockey. Bowling for example is played by simply swinging the handset as if you are to throw a bowling ball. We wonder how many of you will end up throwing the handset as well? Some of the games can be played in multiplayer mode via Bluetooth. There are also some special gaming keys that you'll notice above the display.
