Sony Ericsson launches four entry-level handsets - K200, K220 ...
Sony Ericsson has four new candy bar handsets on the market, aimed very much at those who just want the basics for a budget price - the K200, K220, J120 and J110. The K200 is a camera phone - but with a very basic VGA camera. The camera and the on-board photo album are accessible with just one click, with enough included memory to store around 40 snaps. There's one-touch access for your phone book (which can store up to 300 contacts) and a talk time of 8 hours. It should be available in the second quarter of 2007 in either Metallic Black or Light Champagne. The K220 is similar, but adds an integrated FM radio with RDS and 10 pre-set stations. You can also use it as a radio alarm clock. Again available in the second quarter, this time in a choice of Frost White or Ocean Blue.
The J110 is a 'back to basics' phone with large, legible keys and one-click access to commonly used features such as the text message menu, ring volume and alarm clock.
Basic Sony Ericsson J120 dishes out an FM radio
The entry-level candy bar ups the ante from its sibling, the J110, by adding a FM radio to its specs. The Sony Ericsson J120 budget handset features an unassuming design in basic black, and an even simpler form factor as a classic candy bar. However, its simple style resembles some of its high-end Walkman brethren, such as the W800i and the W610. Even though the J120 doesn't have a packed feature set like Sony Ericsson's Walkman lineup, it's an upgrade to the recently announced J110. Like the J110, Sony Ericsson will include an easy-to-use icon interface in the J120, but takes it one step further by adding FM radio. Music lovers will be able to store 10 radio stations in the handset, and enjoy them on the bundled stereo headset or the phones loudspeaker, which doubles as a speakerphone.
Sony Ericsson extends its range
Just ahead of this year's 3GSM trade show, Sony Ericsson yesterday carried out a major product launch, releasing no fewer than 8 new phone models and 5 new accessories. The new phones are: � W610 - mid-range Walkman phone, with a much improved camera � W880 - Sony Ericsson's first true Thin phone, a Walkman � K550 - mid-range Cybershot camera phone � K810 - a refresh of the very successful K800 Cybershot phone � K200 - low-end 'snapshot' camera phone � K220 - as K200, but with an FM radio � J110 - an entry-level 'talk and text' phone � J120 - as J110 but with an FM radio.
Sony Ericsson Announces Four New Mobile Phones
Sony Ericsson announced four new 'candy bar' phones that make it simple to stay in touch. Of the four, the K200 and K220 are both camera phones, whilst the K220 again and the J120 bring music into an affordable segment with integrated FM Radios, complete with headsets. All four, including the J110, display Sony Ericsson�s signature styling and premium feel, yet manage to keep simplicity and ease-of-use at the heart of their design. K200 The K200 is all about having a camera on your phone just when you need it. The VGA camera and photo album are immediately accessible with just one click on the dedicated button. Given that the K200 has a slideshow view and will store up to 40 images, it�s easy for users to view their pictures in full screen and share them with friends.
Review: Sony Ericsson J110
Today Sony Ericsson announced two additions to their entry-level J series of handsets. The new J110 and J120 are virtually identical except for the slightly more upscale J120 having a built-in FM radio and support for only 900/1800MHz GSM networks, while the less expensive J110 is available in both 900/1800MHz and 850/1900MHz GSM versions.
Both devices have capacity for up to 200 contacts and 100 SMS messages in their built-in memory, and sport 16 voice polyphonic sound systems. In order to keep things simple for novices, the J110 and J120 both make use of a very simple user interface where one menu option icon appears on the screen at a time, similar to the way old Nokia Series 40 devices used to work. The system is somewhat necessary since the J110 and J120 handsets use a fairly low resolution 96x64 pixel, 65k color CSTN display.
