Phone and accessory premier by Sony Ericsson

Our readers have received the maximum detailed review of the company devices that are announced on the 1 of March even before the official premier. A product with the К750 index also called Clara happened to be of the most interest. That is the first phone equipped with a 2-megapixel camera and an automatic focus. The list of improvements is rather long as compared with K700, for instance. And the model appeared to be very technological.

The company’s initiatives in the middle segment are also interesting and two devices were introduced here at the same time. They are Sony Ericsson J300 and K300.

Such model as W800 happened to stay out of our attention. That is a Sony Ericsson K750i modification different in the absence of some functions and another componentry, thus a USB-cable and software for transmitting music from a CD to the phone are included. The model is the first Walkman phone that means intended for listening to the music from the beginning. That is something like a hybrid of a player and a phone. As different to the K750 the maximum memory card is limited with the total number of 512 MB against 1 GB. The manufacturer claims at least 30 hours of listening to mp3 compositions non-stop. The plus of a model is the camera is similar to the K750. The model will appear on the market three months after the K750 that is in September and will cost similarly that is about 450 Euro. Sony Ericsson starts using the possibilities of the parent company Sony actively and that makes a real thread for many game players. The Walkman brand is widely known and that will undoubtedly influence the sales positively.

The accessory line was actually widened due to the real impulse flash. It is compatible with the new models offering megapixel cameras.

The continuation of the headset line equipped with an external screen should be stressed. These are the HBH-608 and HBH-662 models. The first model offers no cardinal improvements and at the same time the second one is equipped with an integrated processor improving voice transmission quality.
