Carphone Warehouse has revealed that Sony Ericsson’s latest “high-end entry-level handset” will be available next month.
Sony Ericsson's T303: at the high end of the low range
The T303 was unveiled (http://www.reghardware.co.uk/2008/03/04/sony_ericsson_t303/) at CeBIT in Hanover, Germany back in March, but at the time SE wasn’t willing to provide prospective punters with a shipping date for the handset. Fortunately, Register Hardware can reveal that the T303 will ship, from Carphone Warehouse at least, this August.
Although the stylish looking handset’s only equipped with a measly 1.3-megapixel camera, the phone’s body is finished with… ahem… ”soft edges... metal details” and a 1.8in “mirror glass display”. So, hopefully, you won’t need to carry around a separate mirror for reapplying your lippy.
A mirror glass display adds to the phone's charm
The phone supports dual-band GSM/GPRS connections and has 8MB of internal storage. There’s no mention of any support for expandable storage, such as SD cards. Bluetooth and a USB port do feature, should you need to move your data around.
Users will be able to play videos, music and cycle through still-image slideshows. The inclusion of an FM radio is a nice bonus.
The Sony Ericsson T303 will be available in either a "shimmering silver" or "shadow black" design for up to €80 (£60/$120).
