SonyEricsson T68i & CommuniCam - GPRS / GSM Tri-band / Camera / Colour Screen

Sony Ericsson has shown the T68i mobile phone along with the CommuniCam MCA-20 digital camera accessory. With the camera snapped on to the phone, it is easy to take pictures and send them as an MMS-message to another phone, e-mail them to a PC, or store them in the phone's extensive photo album.

The new T68i builds on the success of the T68, which has achieved global success since its launch last year. The T68i has a new look, it is the first MMS phone to hit the market, and the focus is on imaging. The new CommuniCam MCA-20 is a small digital mobile camera accessory. Connected to the T68i it can be used to take full VGA resolution pictures that are sent from the phone as part of an MMS-message or as an e-mail. Pictures taken with the CommuniCam can also be used as background pictures on the display of the T68i, or stored in the camera or the phone. The camera can store up to 200 pictures, depending on size. The display of the T68i acts as a viewfinder for the camera. The camera can store 14 full VGA pictures or up to 200 pictures in QQQVGA format.

When meeting a person and entering their phone number into the T68i, it is fast and easy to snap on the CommuniCam MCA-20, take a picture and add it to their contact information. Next time that person calls, the picture will appear on the screen. Ordinary mobile phones show the number of the person who is calling you. The T68i can show a color picture of that person instead.

The T68i and CommuniCam MCA20 will start shipping immediately.
