Sony Ericsson Z555 mobile phone

Sony Ericsson has announced it’s upcoming Z555 java-enabled mobile phone with a unique and sleek design. It features gesture control that allows you to interact with your mobile phone without normally touching it.

For example, you can simply move your hand over the Sony Ericsson Z555 to mute an incoming call or snooze the alarm. Hmmm, the snoozing part is pretty interesting (I wonder how far away the mobile phone can be to be able to “interact” with it, should be pretty useful if you just don’t want to wake up in the morning just yet).

The Z555 mobile phone will be available in two versions. The Z555i which has EDGE/GSM/GPRS at 900/1800/1900MHz frequencies for the Asia and Europe market while the Z555a which has EDGE/GSM/GPRS at 850/1800/1900MHz frequencies will be for the Americas.
