Sony Ericsson J132
Discontinued 17th June 2008
We like simple well-thought-out phones, and the new
Sony Ericsson J132 seems to fit into this category.
In case you're not familiar with the J-Series range
of phones, these are Sony Ericsson's cheapest and most
basic handsets.. but they are always quite attractive
to look at and usually very well thought out.
The feature list on the J132 is refreshingly short.
There's a very basic 128 x 128 pixel CSTN display, FM
radio with loudspeaker, torch, speakerphone, vibrating
alert, SMS messaging with predictive text, basic organiser
functions and a dust-resistant keypad. That really is
about it, except that the talktime is an impressive
9 hours with up to 18 days standby time, and the whole
package weighs only 76 grams.
There's no GPRS, Bluetooth or multimedia player..
the J132 really is just a phone with a built-in radio.
And why not? For a lot of people that is really all
they will need.
There are two dual-band GSM variants, the J132a is
a GSM 850/1900 device for use in America, the J132 is
a 900/1800 device for use in the rest of the world.
Sony Ericsson say that the J132 is due out in Q3 2008
in "Night Black" and "Heaven Blue"
colour combinations.
