The range usually incorporates the highest specification camera and features available at the time of release and the newest mobile technology, but overall the T-Series range is unmistakable.
The new Sony Ericsson T650i Blue Edition is no different, it features a square shape with a square display screen and main navigational button, it features the latest camera and connectivity technology and offers a slim design of just 13mm in depth.
The biggest change to the T650i compared with previous models is the materials used to manufacturer the outer casing and the exterior button design, the top half of the handset is manufactured from brushed stainless steel giving the phone a feeling of expense and style whilst the button arrangement has been changed by removing the letters and numbers from the keypad and locating them next to the buttons making the buttons much smaller and evenly spaced, the buttons themselves are also manufactured from brushed steel which ties in with the overall design.
The bottom half of the handset is available in two colour schemes, Midnight Blue and Growing Green, both colours work well with the brushed steel portraying a minimalist look that will appeal to lovers of uncluttered mobile devices.
The T650i lives up to its expectations of including the latest technology by being a 3G enabled phone, this offers fast download speeds and access to thousands of files to personalise the handset. 3G allows for streaming media such as mobile TV, news headlines and weather forecasts as well as offering new mobile content such as ringtones, games, music and themes which can be downloaded direct to the phones memory.
Using a secondary VGA camera situated next to the top of the main display screen, the T650i enables video calling over 3G where users can see as well as hear the person they are talking with, providing they have a compatible device. Businesses are also taking advantage of this new technology and utilising it to increase productivity, users can relay to the office or senior exactly what they can see rather than having to try and explain verbally.
The Sony T650i features a 3.2 megapixel camera with auto focus for quick and easy digital photography, a digital zoom for close up picture capture, a built in flash for poor lighting conditions and video support to capture high quality video clips. There is also an MP3 player that can be uploaded with new music tracks from a PC with a USB cable or downloaded from the mobile internet over 3G, all files including photos, video, music and games can easily be transferred between compatible devices via Bluetooth without the need for wires, as can headsets and car kits be connected via wire free Bluetooth for safe hands free driving.
To keep and save the vast amount of files created by the camera, music player and applications the T650i is compatible with MicrosSD cards / memory sticks which will expand the memory up to a substantial 256MB.
Overall the new Sony T650i Blue and Green Editions exactly represent what is expected of a T-Series handset, even if the younger mobile users have not come across this model range before it will not be long before they will appreciate the range of features, the exterior styling and the new technology that they have to offer.
