Sony Ericsson and Rogers Wireless introduce the S710a Wireless Phone with Integrated Megapixel Camera

6 May 2005

Rogers Wireless and Sony Ericsson today announced the availability of the award winning S710a, a new feature-packed, 1.3 megapixel camera phone. The tri-band (850/1800/1900 MHz) S710a operates
exclusively in Canada on the Rogers Wireless GSM/GPRS/EDGE network, the
largest integrated wireless voice and data network in Canada, providing users
with global roaming capabilities in many countries around the world.(*)

The S710a's unique "dual-front" design literally demonstrates its dual
purpose. One front of the device serves as a digital camera with a photo light
and mechanical lens cover allowing users to take print quality pictures and
record video clips. The other front has the look, feel and functionality of a
wireless phone, as well as a mini organizer, gaming, MP3 and messaging device.

The Sony Ericsson S710a has a new, unique 180-degree swivel-open design
that easily converts from mobile phone to digital camera. And, the camera
interface of the S710a is similar to that included in popular and innovative
Sony digital cameras, making it simple to use for capturing life's spontaneous
moments.

In addition to photos and video, this unique device with EDGE technology
also provides fast access to messaging and content downloads such as Real Trax
ring tunes and interactive 3D gaming. Additionally, MP3 music files can be
easily transferred from a PC to the S710a. Disc2Phone software (available free
at www.sonyericsson.com/support) makes it easy to transfer songs from your CD
collection and load them on the Sony Memory Stick(TM) Duo, which is included
with the device along with Sony Ericsson dual-stereo headset.

"Rogers Wireless is excited to introduce the innovative Sony Ericsson
S710a," said Raj Doshi, Vice President, Device and Product Management, Rogers
Wireless. "This high-end, all-in-one device with a truly unique design and
large screen is a must-have for consumers craving the ultimate mobile
entertainment experience -- from capturing top quality images to enjoying
digital tunes to mobile gaming in 3D."

The unique design of the S710a allows consumers to easily capture life's
moments spontaneously in high-quality resolution with its 1.3 megapixel
digital camera, and 262K-color screen. The S710a has been recognized as one of
the best camera devices commercially available today for picture quality and
ease of use. Pictures from renowned photographer, Robert Clark's tour of
Toronto utilizing the S710a are available at
www.sonyericsson.com/imageamerica.

The S710a camera features a built-in 8x digital zoom, plus a built-in
camera light and night mode option to provide better picture quality in darker
environments. Photos can easily be shared with Rogers Wireless Picture
Messaging and uploaded to photo printing websites such as Sony's
ImageStation(R), sent via Bluetooth(TM) to a compatible photo printer or PC,
or transferred to PC using the Sony Memory Stick(TM) Multi-Slot USB
Reader/Writer (included with S710a).

"Sony Ericsson brings a unique blend of technology, content and market
experience into the design of the S710a," said Magnus Ahlqvist, general
manager of Sony Ericsson Mobile Communications for Canada. "We are delighted
to work with Rogers Wireless to bring this innovative handset to Canadian
consumers. This handset was recognized as Best of What's New by Popular
Science magazine and has won numerous awards including Best of CES by G4Tech
TV and other prestigious publications."

Key features of the S710a include:
- 3D gaming engine for more realistic play
- MP3 player for song download/upload and play
- Easily convert CDs to MP3s with Sony's Disc2Phone software
- Expandable memory - 32 Megabyte Sony Memory Stick Duo(TM) and adapter

content downloads and interactive online gaming, plus international
