Sony Ericsson K-series with GPS in the wild

Obviously Sony Ericsson are in for a major announcement with a spanking new
K-series Cyber-shot handset that is obviously loaded with goodies. The
Chinese-based website pconline.com.cn has revealed details and live photos
of the device.

In this K-series’s styled in a conservative form factor and a rather
controversial color combo, the new K-series handset sports a 3 megapixel
auto focus camera (it’s not a 5 megapixel one, trust us, we’ve seen it) and
a dual-LED flash. But that’s not all that this handset is about.



K-series this new puppy will be among the first Sony Ericsson handsets to
feature a built-in GPS receiver. The software part of the GPS navigation is
ensured by the Location Services menu we also saw in the Sony Ericsson
W890, for K-series will includes applications such as Google Maps, Favorite
places, etc. This time however the menu has an even expanded functionality
in order to make the most out of the integrated GPS receiver.

The new Sony Ericsson K-series’s handset will be positioned somewhere above
Sony Ericsson K770 and Sony Ericsson K850. If you ask us though it looks
rather reminescent of some older Sony Ericsson T-series handsets, so maybe
a T-series designation will be more like it.
