Sony Ericsson S312 has all the small things we like in a phone
Oh well, we were all waiting for the SE S312 for quite sometime but here’s the phone for real. A little more insight into the phone and I realize that there isn’t too much to yell my guts out. In fact, I cannot even fake enthusiasm. Well, it has this 2 megapixel camera that’s got a mere 2.5X digital zoom with illuminated camera shortcuts. And oh, it also has a dedicated camera key and illuminated camera shortcuts. Now, have I ever seen these before? Sharing of images is made a tad more comfortable with the blogging and printing facilities available. All right, we all know that these features adorned phones quite some time ago, so was this the Athena that we were looking forward to?
Well the phone also has a media player, A2DP enabled Bluetooth, USB and to keep you happy, a clip-on Bluetooth Handsfree VH300. Hmph! The phone will be available from the third quarter of 2009.
