Sony Ericsson T650 / T650i
Due
Q3 2007 9th May 2007
Billed as the spiritual successor to
the classic T610
handset, the Sony Ericsson T650 combines a touch of
Swedish minimalist design with the latest 3G technologies.
As with other recent Sony Ericsson devices, the T650
comes in a T650c variant for China and a T650i for the
rest of the world.
This is a 3G phone - the Sony Ericsson
T650i supports UMTS 2100 plus GSM 900/1800/1900. There's
a 1.9" 240x320 pixel display in 262,000 colours
plus a 3.2 megapixel digital camera on the back with
autofocus and a photo light. Memory is expandable using
Memory Stick Micro cards, and the Sony Ericsson T650i
also has stereo Bluetooth.
There are two striking colours - Midnight
Blue and Glowing Green. The Sony Ericsson T650i has
been built with a scratch-resistant covering on the
display both to protect it and also to enhance the colours
and improve the viewing angle. The case is made in part
from stainless steel.
Despite
all the effort that seems to have gone into building
the T650i, the weight is just 95 grams which is very
good for a 3G device. The handset is just 12.5mm thick
(104 x 46 x 12.5mm overall) which means that this is
also quite a slim device.
As you might expect, the T650i comes
with the usual range of software including an email
client, web browser, RSS reader, multimedia player,
an FM radio (subject to confirmation), speakerphone,
video calling and animated themes.
The overall design is unusual but striking,
at it serves as a reminder of the elegant designs of
the early Sony Ericsson handsets which seems to have
been somewhat lost in the past year or so. We'd definitely
count this as a "fashion phone", but one with
plenty of substance to back it up.
Sony Ericsson say the the T650 / T650i
/ T650c should be available from Q3 2007.
