24th August - Sony Ericsson today announces the Z610;
a stylish 3G phone that blends performance with stand-out
design. The sleek mirror finish on the front cover gives
the phone a jewel-like quality that is complimented
by a hidden ‘magic mirror’ display which can
only be seen when in use. This striking phone delivers
on its good looks: its advanced feature set includes
a 2.0 Megapixel camera and broadband-speed 3G connectivity.
With such a unique design and a choice of three eye-catching
colours – Luster Black, Rose Pink & Airy Blue
– Z610 is the clamshell to be seen with.
“The unique design of the Z610 is inspired by
nature. We have applied a mirror finish and used a hidden
display for the first time to achieve the feel of a
calm ocean surface” says Eiji Shintani, Art Director,
Creative Design Centre, Sony Ericsson.

“OLED technology has enabled us to build in a display
that doesn’t interrupt the seductive, reflective qualities
on the front of the phone. And given that Z610 is also a highly-specified
device, it appeals to the design conscious that need a phone
for every day use.”
The magic of the Z610 is revealed when a call comes in or
the user receives an SMS or MMS. The hidden external display
illuminates, giving the effect that the caller-ID information
is floating on the face of the phone itself.
The distinctive design of the Z610 is matched by a feature
set that lets the user get the most from their mobile phone.
The Picture Blog application allows the user to share photographs
with friends and family, via an online ‘blogsite’,
within just a few clicks. Simply take a shot with the Z610’s
2.0 Megapixel camera and upload (or blog) the images directly
to the site.
The Z610’s 3G capability, coupled with its large 2.0
inch screen, makes video calling and accessing the Internet
a pleasure; and with support for Push Email and RSS feeds
that deliver the latest news updates direct to your mobile,
it’s so much more than a pretty face.
And when its time to reflect, support for Memory Stick Micro™
(M2™) allows for generous storage of photos, video clips
and MP3 files. This popular and portable storage format is
available in memory sizes up to 1GB – that equates to
around 2,800 pictures of 2.0 Megapixel quality.
Z610 is available in selected markets from Q3 2006.
