Just when we think the final generation of mobile phone technology has arrived, up pops another one. With the phone manufacturers in such a competitive market, they are all striving to get one step ahead. Well, here we go, Sony Ericsson has produced the F305. Whilst it sounds like a fighter plane, rest assured it is not. Sony Ericsson appears to have pushed their love of the Nintendo Wii into the phone range.

So a little more about the Sony Ericsson F305 slider-phone. The main thing to notice is the built-in motion sensor which enables the F305 to react like the Wii controller. Sony Ericsson have included three main games that can utilise the motion sensor device, ‘Bowling’, ‘Bass Fishing’ and ‘Jockey. I think we can safely assume there will also be some standard games on the handset too. Another new feature is the CPP-100 power pack which boost the phone’s battery if you aren’t near a mains socket.

Apart from this, the F305 is pretty standard and has the usual features we’ve come to expect from a mobile phone. Whilst it may seem an exciting and innovative idea, we believe more thought could have been put into it. The main thing being that a normal Wii is played on a large TV screen and not a 2 inch phone display. Can you see where I’m going with this? Yes, that’s right, if the motion sensor is in the phone and the screen is on the phone, how on earth are you going to clearly see what’s happening during the game if you’re waving the handset about, not to mention that a mobile phone isn’t the cheapest thing to drop on the floor or slam up against a wall.

Whilst we are impressed with the concept of Wii type gaming on a mobile, maybe it would be better to have a remote control as a separate accessory.

Anyway, for those of you who are still keen to get your hands on the Sony Ericsson F305, ND Mobiles have been advised it will hit the streets in quarter 3 of 2008. However, Sony Ericsson has given no indication of the price as yet.
