14 DAY TRIAL // A lot of people were drawn right into the rumor pool over the last two months when nobody had the slightest idea what would the Sony Ericsson AI handset end up looking like.
Now we have photos of it, even official ones, and most of us are quite disappointed of the final result.
Maybe it would have been better that the rumors would come true but, instead, we glanced with our eyes on a candybar shaped, metallic cellphone with a truly uninspired designed keyboard.
Until now, these were pretty much all the info we have been able to gather from the leaked photos of the future to be called W880i AI Sony Ericsson mobile phone.
Now it seems a specifications sheet of the AI has reached the web and if you are really curious, and I'm pretty sure you are, here it comes.
It is going to be a tri-band GSM / GPRS / UMTS enabled cellphone, working on 900, 1800 and 1900 MHz networks, it is going to have a 1.8 inch QVGA TFT display with 262k colors, a 2 megapixel digital camera, video telephony and video playback capabilities, MP3 and eAAC+ ringtones support, Music CD Walkman player 2.0, 32 MB of internal memory and a Memory Stick Pro memory expansion card slot, an Access Netfront 3.3 WAP browser, built-in Java MIDP 2.0 technology, wireless Bluetooth 2.0 connectivity, USB 2.0 and DRM OMA 2.0 pre-installed software.
Further details mention the fact the AI is going to offer 7 hours talk time on GSM networks and 3 hours on UMTS, 300 hours standby time, a weight of 80 grams and will measure 102 x 46.5 x 4 mm.
It's not that impressive as everyone expected it to be and surely not as good as Sony Ericsson can do but we have to be happy with what we get. Hopefully, they'll change the spec sheet here and there because the design is surely going to stay as dull as you know it.
