Sony Ericsson G705 Goes Official

If you’ve been eagerly waiting Sony Ericsson’s G705, today is your lucky day, as the G705 has finally gone official. While that’s good news and all, the news that the phone is only scheduled to be available in the US around Q1 of 2009 isn’t very nice, especially since it will be released in Q4 elsewhere.

• GSM/GPRS/EDGE 850/900/1800/1900
