SonyEricsson T300 - GPRS / MMS & EMS / Atari Games / TriBand

Sony Ericsson has unveiled the T300 mobile phone, which offers multimedia applications like imaging, messaging and gaming, and is priced for the mass market. Triple-band GSM/GPRS, color screen, polyphonic ring signals and MMS combine to deliver a complete messaging phone. Together with the T300, a new digital snap-on camera accessory was unveiled, the CommuniCam MCA-25. Both the T300 and the digital camera will be on the market in Q4 2002.

The handset has a 256 colour screen, supports MMS, polyphonic sound, exchangeable fronts, games and lots of imaging features. The 24-tone polyphonic feature makes the ring signals sound like real songs because the phone can play several tones simultaneously. T300 users can share ring signals, download them from the web and compose them using their T300. It is also possible to add a sound to a person's contact information, making it easy to identify whom is calling.

The CommuniCam MCA-25 is the latest snap-on camera from Sony Ericsson. Designed with the T300 in mind, the CommuniCam MCA-25 has several new features, most notably digital zoom. With these products, it is possible to send pictures as MMS or e-mail, save them as screensavers or browse them as thumbnails in the phonebook. Users can view the subject in the T300 display or through the camera's optical viewfinder. Pictures can be saved in four different pictures sizes, ranging from 80x60 pixels to 640x480 pixels. After taking a picture, it is possible to add fun graphic elements, such as a stylish frame, hearts and other themed effects to the picture.

Classic Atari games will be available for the phone and a wide range of downloadable games will be accessible from http://wap.sonyericsson.com as a part of the product's gaming experience. Also, branded premium games such as Atari classics Centipede, Missile Command, Asteroids, Breakout, and others are available for operators to offer through their portals. A developer's kit, SDK, is available for games developers to create even more fun games for the T300. SDKs are available via Ericsson Mobility World or http://www.mophun.com. There is a small joystick in the center of the handset just under the screen which should make game playing more convinient.'"
