Siemens SG75: The Multimedia Mobile
UMTS can be as small as this: The Siemens SG75 is less than 10 centimeters long and is full of surprises. This elegant mobile phone comprises email and organizer functions, Internet access as well as a high-quality 1.3-megapixel camera and a second camera for video calls. Entertainment is ensured too: Mobile users can view both their own and downloaded videos or listen to their favorite songs on the integrated MP3 player in their leisure time.
It features a well thought-out design with semiautomatic slider (ProSlide) function. Sliding the front of the device upward reveals the mobile in its full length with its number keypad. However, while it is still closed, the dynamically designed device can be easily stowed. Yet even in this compact form, the most important applications are instantly to hand – thanks to the navigation button and the side buttons on the front.
Movie trailers, video clips or real-time sports transmissions – whichever takes the fancy, everything becomes a feast for the eyes on the two-inch display with more than 262,000 colors! The desired content can be downloaded from the Internet onto the mobile at lightning speed via the UMTS data turbo. For smaller volumes of data, or at times when the UMTS network is currently not accessible, the mobile also has GPRS on board. If required, the SG75 can also be used as a modem to surf the Web or access emails quickly and wirelessly on a laptop.
However, this precision-engineered mobile phone has even more to offer to real multimedia fans. The 1.3-megapixel camera on the back allows not only videos but also high-resolution photos to be captured and sent as MMS to business partners, friends and acquaintances. How about a face-to-face conversation? Using the SG75, this is no problem – after all, there is a second camera built into the device that turns self-portraits into child’s play.
Moreover, the SG75 is an elegant companion for “daily business”, with numerous organizer functions at the ready which can be synchronized fast and effortlessly with the PC, ranging from an e-mail client up to a diary. In everyday work life, the “Today Screen” can be particularly handy. One glance at the mobile’s display reveals whether current appointments are pending, new messages have arrived or calls have been received in absentia. For instance, an MP3 player with a good sound , which is compatible with the most varied music formats (like AAC, WAV and MIDI ), can make the journey to work more pleasant. Of course, with 70 megabytes of internal memory as well as the option to use a supplementary memory card, the Siemens mobile has any amount of storage space at the ready for favorite songs and much, much more.
This little communication genius also makes the perfect traveling companion. The SG75 can transmit not only in the domestic D and E networks, but also in the United States . Bluetooth is integrated for additional convenience. This radio technology permits the use of accessories such as the wireless HHB-700 Bluetooth headset, which stands out among other things for its light weight, its high portability and superior speech quality. The HKW-710 Bluetooth car kit is an equally practical in-car handsfree solution. Even Bluetooth printing can be carried out using this multimedia mobile. Photos can be transmitted directly from the mobile to a Bluetooth-capable printer without any cables. Besides, the SG75 supports Bluetooth Microsoft Remote Control, which allows computer applications to be operated conveniently from the mobile – whether they are Powerpoint presentations or the PC’s media player.
The SG75 will be priced in the mid-range segment and will be available from November 2005 in the color “Titanium”.
