Finally got a new Sony Ericsson G700 Business Edition on Friday night at Mobile Square, just in time for my In-camp-training in 2 weeks time. As mention in one of my previous blog post, this phone will be for use with my data SIM card when I need to access areas that do not allow camera phone.

Below are some photos of my new Sony Ericsson G700 Business Edition stack up with 3 of my other phones.

Finally got the phone and charged to the recommended 5 hours and played around with it.

OK… this post basically nothing much as I just want to attached the Ozone browser for my new phone in this blogpost.

With my ICT coming in about a month time, I’m contemplating on getting another non-camera phone to use it with my data SIM card.

My current non-camera phone, Nokia E61 is still serving me well but it’s kind of a hassle to switch between my data SIM and voice SIM with 1 non-camera phone. It would be perfect if I have another non-camera phone just for the data SIM. Hmmm… if with this non-camera phone purchase, I will have 4 phones… lol

• HTC Touch Pro – for voice SIM, normal usage
• Nokia 5800 – for data SIM, normal usage
• Nokia E61 – for voice SIM, for use in military bases and camera restricted area
• New non-camera phone – for data SIM, for use in military bases and camera restricted area

If you are wondering why I have 2 SIM cards, the reason is simple. Cost.

My voice SIM plan does provide unlimited data usage as a value added service but at an additional cost of SGD$75/month, so the total bill would be SGD$115/month inclusive of voice plan subscription. With separate SIM cards, I pay only total of SGD$65/month. I got the data SIM plan at a cheaper rate with my company’s corporate rate.

OK, so now to my new non-camera phone selection criteria. Here’s my requirements:

• Non-camera (Of course, otherwise the title of this blogpost won’t be “New non-camera phone”)
• Touchscreen
• Exchange Activesync capable
• Ability to install webkit browser for blogging and surfing while I’m bored
• Less than $500 without any voice plan
• 3G (at least UTMS)

With the above requirement, I have narrowed down to 2 models from Sony Ericsson. M600i and G700 Business Edition.

So which phone will I get? Stay tune to this blog to find out more
