5 Best Practices for Smartphone Support
But 2G mobile phones, which are presumably cheaper to make than 3G phones, still have a place, especially for those who want a relatively stylish looking phone to make phone calls, send text and/or picture messages and take basic photos. While no price has been released for the Sony Ericsson (SE) T303, it can’t be all that expensive if it’s destined for the pre-paid market, although as you’ll see, tech-savvier consumers will probably want to buy something much more powerful, even though that will mean spending a lot more money. SE are pushing the line that the T303 offers ‘designer good-looks without the price tag to match’, and for cash-strapped teenagers, University students or anyone without a massive budget to spend on a new phone, SE’s marketing line could well resonate. SE also says that the T303 “Does the basics well, whether that’s camera, Bluetooth or FM radio”, “provides pocket-sized convenience”, and promises “premium good looks thanks to a metal and chrome finish”. Lykke Tærsbøl, Senior Designer at the Sony Ericsson Creative Design Centre said that: “The T303 is a great addition to the Sony Ericsson T-line of products, combining premium finish and materials with a good feature-set to deliver ‘style with substance’. The balance between shape and size in combination with the design makes it a truly eye-catching product. Our aim was to create a phone that would function equally as a daily companion as well as something to show off on a night out." So, while the phone isn’t a fully fledged smartphone by modern standards, there are a few modern features (both present and missing), including one that is very odd indeed. Please read onto page 2. |
