SE K610 & J100 announced

« on: 13 February 2006, 11:34 »
Sony Ericsson announces the new K610 & J100

K610

K610 Photo Library... http://www.sonyericsson.com/spg.jsp?cc=global&lc=en&ver=4001&template=pc3_2_3_1&zone=pc&lm=pc3_2&pid=10389&esi=true
Just 17mm thick and weighing 92 grams, the K610 is the size and weight of a typical 2G stick phone and will be one of the smallest and lightest 3G phones to come on the market. It packs into its slender frame a suite of advanced communications, business and entertainment applications plus a 2 Megapixel camera, Memory Stick removable storage and Bluetooth connectivity.

The K610 is a classic Sony Ericsson design reminiscent of the iconic and much loved T610 with a balance of form and function that makes it pretty irresistible," said Jan Wäreby, Corporate Executive Vice President, Head of Sales and Marketing

The K610’s pure lines combine with a solid, quality feel to make it a pleasure to hold and use. It is also incredibly practical and easy to use, with bright illumination plus large keypad and 262K colour display.

UMTS connectivity and a 2 Megapixel camera makes the K610 an ideal tool to shoot images and share them instantly – whether for business or pleasure. Creating a photoblog is easily done by just adding text to images and posting them to the Internet, or images can be quickly sent by email or MMS.

High speed email, web access and a range of business-friendly applications make the K610 the ideal partner for the productive mobile office. Standard push e-mail support (P-IMAP) sends messages direct to the phone without having to download them, and a flight mode allows users to work offline.

The phone’s practical use as a business tool is further strengthened by a comprehensive connectivity suite that keeps the user always in touch. UMTS is supplemented by Bluetooth, Infrared, USB 2.0 mass storage and Memory Stick Micro™ (M2™) support,. USB 2.0 can be used to synchronise with Microsoft Outlook to ensure calendar and contacts are always up-to-date the handset.

Browsing the Internet on the K610 is a graphic-rich experience that is very similar to using a PC, thanks to the NetFront™ browser. HTML pages are presented in full with photos, video, words and graphics adapted to fit the 1.9" colour display, making it easy to scroll, browse and follow links between sites. New support for RSS Feeds allows users to subscribe to news services to receive updates direct to the phone.

The K610’s integrated music player makes listening to music on the move simple. Music files can be stored on Memory Stick Micro™ (M2™), which can be expanded to 1GB, It is easy to create and manage playlists and supplied software handles transfer of music files between the user’s PC and the phone. The player delivers a top notch listening experience, helped along by the phone’s high quality stereo headphones and built-in equaliser.

The Sony Ericsson K610 is a Dual Mode UMTS handset commercially available in Evening Red and Urban Silver colours and starts shipping during Q2 2006.

K610i - Dual mode UMTS (2100MHz) - GPRS 900/1800/1900 for Europe, Asia Pacific, Middle East, Africa

Unmistakably a Sony Ericsson, the J100’s good looks and ease of use will appeal to anyone looking for an uncomplicated phone that’s great for voice calls and text messages, with a large keypad, one click navigation and single icon menus.

It is important to remember that the vast majority of mobile phone users simply want a reliable, well designed phone for voice calls and text," says Jan Wäreby, Corporate Executive Vice President, Head of Sales and Marketing, Sony Ericsson. “This is an important market for Sony Ericsson and our operator customers and we expect good demand for J100 globally, particularly in emerging markets."

Sony Ericsson is known worldwide for its intuitive coupling of form and function to produce stylish phones with great performance and the J100 is no exception. Several features set it apart from its peers. For example it is the smallest phone in the whole Sony Ericsson range and its 65K colour display is outstanding for a phone in this segment.

All key functions can be reached with just one click and the navigation key with its icon markings makes for instant recognition of the various functions. Simply press ‘Up’ to set the sound, ‘Right’ to set the alarm, ‘Down’ to access the phonebook, ‘Left’ to start writing a message and ‘Centre’ to access the menu.

The core voice calls and text functions are supplemented by useful extras including alarm clock, calculator. Available accessories are the Car Holder HCH-60 and Portable Handsfree HPB-60 which when combined with J100 make for an affordable, all-round communications solution.

Sony Ericsson has just unveiled at 3GSM Congress Barcelona what looks to me like a 3G version of a K750 —or a very much upgraded K600—, with a name that sounds quite familiar: K610. Will it live up to the success of the T610? Well, I don’t think it’s as good looking as the “T”, but at least it’s not short in features. In a very compact candy bar form factor (102 x 45.2 x 16.9mm and 92 grams; 2mm taller, 3mm thinner and 7 grams lighter than the K750) it packs UMTS and Triband GSM connectivity, the typical 1.9″ 262k color 176x220 pixel screen, a “basic” 2 megapixel camera without autofocus or flashlight, a frontal VGA camera for videocalls, Memory Stick Micro M2 slot, Bluetooth (we’re assuming it supports the A2D profile, just as the M600), and USB 2.0 connectivity at “Full Speed”, as the Press Release reads. You’ll be able to buy it at a yet price to be announced during Q2 in colors Evening Red and Urban Silver. Now I want a T610.

By the way, Sony Ericsson is holding a media event/party tonight but something tells me they won’t be showing real K610’s, but we’ll take pics of whatever’s around anyway. Stay tuned for the rest of the official photos too.

well, and with added UMTS and different memory stick format, slightly worse camera.

Wow, finally a phone that has a really nice design. This might finally be the phone I'll settle for. The only thing I want to know is if it uses the same headset as the Walkman phones for listening to music.

One thing thing I don't like is that the use the new M2 sticks. I was hoping to buy a 2GB version but, at the moment 1GB is the max.

We should rename this thread to the "The K610 thread", since nobody is discussing the lowest end J100 here.

Anyway i played a bit with this phone, but the battery was dead so i cant say nothing about the software...
The phone lays good int the hand. Its quit thin. I havent seen the red one, unfortunatly. They say its even prettier than this one. Only bad news for us Dutchies. Probably the red colour will  not be released here in Holland. Only the grey solution.
Maybe an operator will take the red one in their portofolio, but this is not know at this point.

Enjoy!  :)
