For those of you who get tired of pressing your phone’s keys frantically during mobile games, Sony Ericsson has heard your plea by releasing the F305 with Motion Gaming.
Basically the premise is pretty simple. Instead of pressing buttons, players now can control games with the flick of a wrist or the swing of an arm. The result will be immediately shown on the screen. The real game example will be imitate bowling movement or casting a fishing line. In fact, F305 comes with three preloaded motion games, “Bowling”, “Bass fishing”, and “Jockey”. There is no news about how many motion games already in the market, but I think it’s not much.

Other gaming features cover horizontal game play and dedicated gaming keys. To complement the F305, Sony Ericsson has provide a handy new accessory to boost the battery life. Attach Power Pack CPP-100 to your keyring and when the phone is low on juice, simply plug it into the phone to receive an instant battery power boost.

Of course, it a multimedia phones with these standard features:
• 2.0 megapixel camera and Bluetooth™
• Expandable memory via Memory Stick Micro™ (M2™) slot.
• Loud stereo speakers
• Exchangeable Style-Up covers
• Comes in two different colors; polar white and mystic black
