Mobile Handsets, MENA: Sony Ericsson has announced a new phone in the Middle East – the K510i.
A phone with Bluetooth push email and fun imaging effects, the phone boasts a 1.3 mega pixel camera in a compact handset. The K510i allows high-quality pictures to be captured, stored and shared in just a few clicks.
The high resolution 1.3 mega pixel camera has a shutter button, 4x digital zoom and optional true camera flash – the Phone Flash MXE-60 – that is intended to do away with red-eye and deliver great shots after dark. With 262k colours TFT display it is claimed to be easy to sort high quality pictures through thumbnails of stored pictures by date. Before sharing, pictures can be made more “captivating” with simple effects such as face warp, sepia colourisation and panorama views.
Additional features include: external antenna connector, Bluetooth support, USB cable in the box, support for industry-standard push email, “excellent” talk and standby times and a “sophisticated yet simple design.” They are aimed at making the K510i a productive partner for the mobile office.
New PC synchronisation software keeps the user right up to date with the full suite of Outlook applications, including Calendar, Contacts, Notes and Tasks. The handset is available in black or polished purple with an optional Bluetooth headset HBH-PV705 in matching colours.
