New 3G Handset from SonyEricsson
Sony Ericsson has launched another 3G handset, the Z610. The sleek mirror finish on the front cover gives the phone a jewel-like quality that is complimented by a hidden 'magic mirror' display which can only be seen when in use. This handset includes a 2.0 Megapixel camera and broadband-speed 3G connectivity.
"The unique design of the Z610 is inspired by nature. We have applied a mirror finish and used a hidden display for the first time to achieve the feel of a calm ocean surface" says Eiji Shintani, Art Director, Creative Design Centre, Sony Ericsson. "OLED technology has enabled us to build in a display that doesn't interrupt the seductive, reflective qualities on the front of the phone. And given that Z610 is also a highly-specified device, it appeals to the design conscious that need a phone for every day use."
The magic of the Z610 is revealed when a call comes in or the user receives an SMS or MMS. The hidden external display illuminates, giving the effect that the caller-ID information is floating on the face of the phone itself.
The distinctive design of the Z610 is matched by a feature set that lets the user get the most from their mobile phone. The Picture Blog application allows the user to share photographs with friends and family, via an online 'blogsite', within just a few clicks. Simply take a shot with the Z610's 2.0 Megapixel camera and upload (or blog) the images directly to the site.
And when its time to reflect, support for Memory Stick Micro allows for generous storage of photos, video clips and MP3 files. This popular and portable storage format is available in memory sizes up to 1GB - that equates to around 2,800 pictures of 2.0 Megapixel quality.
Z610 is available in selected markets from Q3 2006."
