Two new phones were announced by Sony Ericsson today: Z780 and G502. Both phones are HSDPA enabled phones and come with Google Maps application pre-installed. Both phones have simple web email setup and support Exchange ActiveSync.
Z780 is a clamshell phone and has GPS module built in. That comes handy when using applications such as Google Maps, which is also pre-installed. You will know exactly where is your location at the moment and will be able to find your way around more quickly!
