Sony's newest F305 mobile phone is on track to be released tomorrow and will be the first Sony Ericsson phone to feature Motion controlled gaming in an unashamed dig at Nintendo's popular Wii control features.

According to the Unofficial Sony Ericsson Blog, the F305 is the first F-series mobile phone, F standing obviously for Fun (not Frivolous or Fandango).

Apart of the motion feature, comes with the Playstation's trademark "O"and "X" buttons also has multi directional buttons complete with a silvery white finish and aims squarely at the gaming community.

Other than its gaming credentials, the phone itself is a Quad band GSM with EDGE connectivity, two speakers, a 2.0 megapixel digital camera with no Zoom and FM radio and the ability to connect an external power pack which can extend the mobile phone already impressive 8-hour battery life.

It wouldn't be surprising if future versions of this phone offers wireless gaming capabilities by piggy-backing on a standalone PS3 gaming console, especially given that the phone only has 10MB onboard storage and a smallish 2-inch display.
