Sony Ericsson has announced plans to release the Z750, its first Tri-band HSDPA and Quad-band EDGE enabled phone. For anyone looking for a phone that can handle work and play issues, this is probably a device that you should take a closer look at.

The Z750 has a 2.2-inch QVGA color TFT display, 2.0 megapixel camera with 4x digital zoom, 32 MB of memory (expandable to 2 GB with a memory stick), is Bluetooth enabled, has a built-in FM Radio with RDS, USB ports and has speakerphone functionality.

It also has full HTML browser, live ticker and RSS reader support, Exchange ActiveSync advanced push email, support for SMS, EMS, MMS, POP3/IMAP4 email protocols, multi-client instant messaging support and has Java MIDP 2.0 so you can play some 3D games while waiting for your next call.

You’ll squeeze about 9 hours talk time (or 400 hrs. standby) out of it. Plus, this 100 gram marvel looks kind of cool when someone does call or text you; the exterior clamshell (in grey or pink, your call) has a display that lights up to show everyone that you’re popular!

The company tells us that the Z750 will ship to retail in the third quarter.
