Sony Ericsson is one nasty company. They keep all their best products for Japan. It’s like they don’t want to compete with high-end Nokia phones in Europe… Whatever the case is, they’ve just announced two new phones for the Japanese market – W61S and W62S. Let’s briefly introduce them, shall we…
The Sony Erisson W61S slider seems like an ultimate Cyber-shot phone. Aside from the 5.11 megapixel CMOS sensor which uses the same “Exmor” technology from Sony’s Pro Alpha DSLR, this baby also rocks other technologies like Kaokime Lite (auto adjusts brightness upon face detection for best possible facial tones), Smile Shutter Lite (auto shutter release upon detecting a smile), anti-shake, auto-focus and 3x optical zoom. Then there’s the EV-DO Rev. A support, 2.8″ WVGA (480×800) screen which boasts “Reality MAX” technology from Bravia, TV-Out, Bluetooth, GPS, microSD slot, and more. Available in April 2008 in 3 colors – Spectrum Pink, Shadow Black and Prism White.
Then there’s the W62S global roaming clamshell which has 2 megapixel camera, WQVGA (432×240) screen, and microSD slot. Once it hits the market, it will be available in Silver-Leather, Black-Rose and White-Lime.
Now folks from Sweden (Ericsson), please tell your Japanese partners to move some of those things over to Europe and America. We’ll certainly know how to appreciate it… 😉
