The irritatingly named Sony Ericsson txt is a BlackBerry
style messaging feature phone.
By "feature phone" we mean that this is not a smartphone,
but it still comes with the usual features such as a web browser,
email client and music player and FM radio, plus support for social
networking applications and a YouTube client. You can download and
install additional Java applications, but don't expect anything
too fancy.
The main feature is the QWERTY keyboard with the 2.6" 320
x 240 pixel screen on top. On the back is a 3.2 megapixel camera.
The Sony Ericsson txt is a GSM phone with no 3G support, but it
does have WiFi connectivity which is handy if you are using it on
your home wireless network.
Other fairly standard features include Bluetooth, microSD memory,
USB connectivity and a 3.5mm audio socket.
The Sony Ericsson txt doesn't really have any hidden depths.
If you are after a simple and inexpensive messaging phone then the
txt might be a useful option. Sony Ericsson say that the txt should
be available during Q3 2011 but did not give any guidance on price.
