It may not be a Walkman phone, but Sony Ericsson’s new K610i still boasts a 2 Megapixel camera, video calling, Memory Stick Micro expansion, Bluetooth, 3G – and an RSS reader.
Targeting the mass market, Sony Ericsson unveiled a new 3G-enabled handset in the K610i, which represents a shot in the vein of the handset maker’s popular T630 series albeit with updated design. Incorporating a 2 Megapixel camera and video calling, the feature set of the K610i is more tempered than that of siblings such as the W900i, and unlike the vast majority of Sony Ericsson’s other recent releases does not include Walkman functionality.
Weighing in at a paltry 92 g, the tri-band GSM handset still outperforms many 3G competitors with its 1.9-inch, 262K colour display; Bluetooth; and Memory Stick Micro expansion. USB 2.0 is also in place, and the handset also offers several unusual software features including P-IMAP support for push e-mail; an advanced microbrowser; software for creating photo blogs; and an RSS reader.
To be available in ‘Urban Red’ and ‘Evening Silver’ colour schemes, the Sony Ericsson K610i will ship some time in the second quarter at an unknown price. A version for the US market has not been announced.
