Elegant and sleek. These are the qualities Sony Ericsson wants to associate with the new T707 Elle when it used tennis superstar and fashion icon Maria Sharapova to launch this mobile phone. However, once it hits stores sometime in the second quarter of 2009, the T707 will actually come at quite a reasonable price. The actual launch price is unknown but estimates place it around the 90-pound region—quite a bargain for a mobile that has such an affluent image.
Key Features
One of the most impressive features of the Sony Ericsson T707 Elle is that it is not only a Quad-band GSM mobile, but it is also has 3G HSDPA support. Its camera is also quite noteworthy at 3.15-Megapixels and a Cell-ID geo-tagging feature. Aside from its scratch-resistant 2.2-inch screen, it also has a secondary external monochrome display.
The T707 is a lightweight mobile with dimensions of 93 x 50 x 14.1 mm and weighs only 95 grams. It will come in an array of colour schemes reminiscent of a rainbow, which makes it a perfect accessory for the fashion conscious ladies out there.
Some Disadvantages
There are some criticisms about the T707’s camera. It doesn’t have an autofocus feature or an LED flash which may make it difficult to snap photos at night. Videos captured are also low in resolution as the camera will allow only up to 15fps of recording. Also, the secondary external screen is difficult to view once it is exposed to direct sunlight.
All in all, the T707 is a mobile phone that will provide value for money. Although it may not be as impressive as other models that will be released at around the same time (i.e. Sony Ericsson W508 or the Sony Ericsson W995), the T707 is still a mobile that can stand on its own and is perfect for the ladies that may want their mobiles to be stylish accessory labels.
