14 DAY TRIAL // Looks may be deceiving sometimes. Sony Ericsson has once again proved this with the release of their Z250 clamshell phone model. The appealing handset looks great, but turns out to be just another low-end mobile phone when it comes to performances.
Sony Ericsson Z250 is a fashionable phone ahead of anything else. With only 19 mm in thickness, the flip phone comes in a metallic finish with metallic flowery patterns which manage to catch the light with attractive reflections.
This handset comes with several basic features which are designed to provide reliable but low performance capabilities. The Z250 clamshell actually follows the line of the T250 recently released model.
"We realise that some people need a phone that does just the basics well, yet don't wish to compromise on style or stand-out good looks. And why should they? The new Z250 sets out to strike this balance", said Howard Lewis, Head of the Entry Level Business Unit at Sony Ericsson.
This new mobile phone coming from the Swedish company comes with little performances, as it is actually a low-end device. It has an only 0.3 megapixel camera and 10MB of integrated memory. Moreover, the 1.8 inch screen comes with a resolution of 128 x 160 pixels resolution and support for 65,536 colors. Aside these, Z250 also supports polyphonic ringtones, infrared, Wap 2.0 and MMS, although a phone without these features might turn out to be quite difficult to find nowadays.
The Z250 clamshell comes in two color choices, Morning White and Silent Black, both elegant and with a subtle pattern. People at Sony Ericsson consider that this will make an appealing concept to both men and women, although the phone clearly features curvy lines and a feminine elegance.
Sony Ericsson will be available for purchase starting with the third quarter of this year.
