Sony Ericsson Z610 announced


Sony Ericsson announced the Z610 today, a stylish 3G clamshell. The front face of the phone sports a mirror finish with a hidden display that is only visible when in use. Besides high-end design, the Z610 still manages to pack in quite a few features:



  • 2" 220×176 screen with 262k colors; outer display is 128×36 OLED

  • Bluetooth with A2DP stereo support

  • GSM 900/1800/1900 + UMTS 2100

  • 2-megapixel camera

  • Memory Stick Micro (M2) slot, 64MB card in box


Sony Ericsson plans to begin shipping the Z610 later in the third quarter. Because the Z610 uses UMTS 2100, it won't come out in the US (Cingular's UMTS network uses the 1900MHz band).

Sony Ericsson K618i UMTS Phone Announced

Sony Ericsson today announces the K618i, a slim and lightweight 3G phone that delivers an ideal mix of mobility, multimedia applications, and business solutions.


Developed for those users that want entertainment on the move and a powerful business tool, the K618i 3G device is as light and slim as a typical 2.5G phone, yet delivers high-speed rates for streaming or downloading music and video clips, browsing the web, or gaming. And staying in control of email is made easier with support for push email, allowing messages to be sent directly to the phone without having to download them.


Well equipped for both capturing and sharing photos, and playing music, the K618i also features Bluetooth Streaming, to send full-length music tracks (or video clips) wirelessly from the phone and listened to on a compatible Stereo Bluetooth enabled device or headset.


One click of the dedicated camera button and the 2.0-megapixel camera is activated, which comes complete with 2.5x digital zoom and Mobile Blogger. This application allows the user to post (or blog) their images directly to their own blogsite, giving friends and family the chance to go online and view the shots. The K618i is also ready for making video calls; the separate video telephony camera and high-speed 3G connectivity making this a reality.


The 256 MB Memory Stick Micro (M2) provided caters to memory needs and will store around 700 photos or 230 music tracks. There is also the option to expand the external memory up to 1 GB as an individual's media library grows.


The K618i slim-line 'stick' design will launch in a choice of Vibrant Black or Bright White. This UMTS 2100 device will be available in selected markets from Q3 2006.
