Seemingly marketed at the Soccer Mom crowd, SE launched two "touchscreen organizers with a broad appeal" at their MWC press event Sunday. The G900 features a 2.4" touch display along with WiFi and a 5MP camera, while the G700 loses the WiFi and drops down to a 3.2MP camera.
Both handsets feature handwriting recognition with a Notes feature that lets users jot down grocery lists, random thoughts and the like and stick them to the home screen Post-Its style. Neither handset is optimized for the North American market, but the tri-band GSM 900/1800/1900 radios will work in certain of T-Mobile's markets, anyway, if you don't mind GPRS-only data access.
It's actually a shame that SE didn't make these global quad-band handsets. Between the touchscreens, Symbian OS, Opera Web Browsers, and compact, 13mm-thin form factors, these new G-series handsets look like a nice mix of ease of use and high-end features. Look for them to ship to non-US markets in Q2 of this year, with the G700 available in Silk Bronze and the G900 in your choice of Dark Red or Dark Brown.
