T715
Sony Ericsson has added a new model to their T-series phones – T715. The stylish slider phone boasts of 3G connectivity and a 3 Megapixel Camera. But it looks so good that it catches your eye instantly. The back cover is Aluminium brushed and the phone has two colour variants – Galaxy Silver and Rouge Pink. It is handy and quite compact for a slider phone.
The keypad is larger and the font is bigger, thereby texting is easier. The larger 2.2” screen is brighter than ever and SE has promised that it’d fare better in the broad day light than its predecessors. And another welcome change is that T715 accepts MicroSD cards too. The home screen of T715 resembles a “Smart Desktop” where birthdays, appointments and global events can be viewed. Apart from this, regular features like TrackID, PlayNow and Bluetooth 2.0 with A2DP, FM radio with RDS are also available. YouTube, Google Maps and Google Search are also interfaced in this classy mobile. Expected price is not released yet, though it’s believed to be in the $300 margin.
As for the limitations, there are quite a few. First of all, there is no autofocus feature in the camera and the video recording is also not upto the mark. And though the finish is glossy, the design is crappy and SE could’ve concentrated more on that.
Bottom-line: An assortment of G705, W705 and W595. It’d be better if you stay away from it unless you want to try a hand at the Tseries mobiles.
