SonyEricsson T61d - TDMA / TTY Compatible / PC Synchronization

SonyEricsson has shown off its first ever TDMA handset, the T61d. With five-way joystick navigation and a large display, the T61d reinforces Sony Ericsson's commitment to creating products that are extremely easy to operate and fun to use. The phone doubles as a personal organizer, allowing users to store up to 500 contacts with multiple numbers per name. In addition, users may set reminders, save appointments, use the phone as an alarm and save dates with the calendar and To Do list. PC synchronization capability enables transfer of calendar and contact data between the PC and the T61d. The T61d provides users the opportunity to make voice-activated calls with its Magic Word feature and supports two-way text messaging and mobile chat.

The T61d is the first Sony Ericsson TDMA phone to meet the USA regulator's and operator requirements for integrated compatibility with TTY, a special device that allows people who are deaf, hard of hearing, or speech impaired to communicate by typing messages back and forth to one another.

The T61d has up to 3.75 hours of talk time and up to 225 hours of standby time. The phone is expected to be available in Q3 2002.'"
