Sony Ericsson K618 Review

Sony Ericsson has announced its latest 3G mobile phone, the K618, touted as a phone that satisfies both business and pleasure at the same time.

This 3G phone is as light and slim as a 2.5G phone (for those of you keeping up with the Gs). It has ‘push email’ (in other words, it comes to you without you having to download it) which should go down well with business users, or anyone who likes immediate spam. There’s bluetooth, a 2 megapixel camera with 2.5x digital zoom, a Picture Blog application so you can post pix straight to your Blogger account, video calling, and a 256Mb memory card expandable to 1Gb.

The new K618 has been developed for those users that want ‘the best of both worlds;’ entertainment on the move & a powerful business tool. This high performance 3G device is as light and slim as a typical 2.5G phone, yet delivers blisteringly-fast speeds for streaming or downloading music & video clips, browsing the web or gaming. And staying in control of your inbox is made easier with support for push email, allowing messages to be sent directly to the phone without having to download them.

Available in black or white, it’s coming in September, price to be confirmed.

On the surface, the K618 candybar may appear to be just any other cell phone rolling off of the Sony Ericsson assembly line, but if you delve a little deeper, you’ll discover that it comes with a little something extra. The 2.0 megapixel camera is great with its 2.5x digital zoom and video recording, but the coolest part is that you can use the included Mobile Blogger application to directly post spur-of-the-moment snapshots on your blog site.

This compact phone is well equipped for both capturing & sharing photos, and playing music. Notably, the K618 features Bluetoothâ„¢ Streaming, which means that full-length music tracks (or video clips) can be sent wirelessly from the phone and listened to on a compatible Bluetoothâ„¢ enabled device, such as the Stereo Bluetooth Headset HBH-DS970.

The K618 is a striking, slim-line ‘stick’ design that will launch in a choice of Vibrant Black or Bright White. This UMTS 2100 device will be available in selected markets from Q3 2006. * Examples based on assumption of 4 minutes per track and codec compression eAAC+ and 32kbps for music/number of tracks. Or picture size of 2.0 Megapixel, taken in Normal Mode for recordable pictures.
