Sony Ericsson Z610i – More Than Just An Eye Candy

It was my officemate Jill who excitedly showed me the picture of Sony Ericsson Z610i phone. Well, from then on…this phone is our fantasy (well not until i had seen the w710i model hehe)…luckily, there is a Sony Square Shop at the ground floor of our office building, so it did not take us long before seeing this mobile phone ’live’.

What really attractive about this model is the physical..you’ll love the glossy finish, really an eye candy. The design is really unique as compared to the existing cell phone models. It represents a new design philosophy and an utterly innovative construction.

What’s Inside:

• A 2.0 megapixel camera and a secondary camera for video calls
• SMS/MMS/Instant Messaging/e-mail
• WAP 2.0/xHTML, HTML(NetFront), RSS feeds
• Media Player (several file format supported), Picture Editor, Organizer
• Bluetooth wireless technology
• and a lot more

While this sleek clamshell mobile phone is clearly an eye-catcher, a hidden mirror effect makes the external display visible only when the Sony Ericsson Z610i is lit up.

It has bluetooth technology as one of it’s connectivity option, so for me, absence of an infrared feature doesn’t affect much of it’s functionality.

While havin an embedded media player is a plus point, absence of the radio gives this phone some beauty minus points.

For some, absence of some features are really a disadvantage, but for others, its so much more than a pretty face ….

Price: Price ranging from PHP13,000.00 – PHP16,000.00 (as of May 2007)
