Sony-Ericsson announces T270 and T280

After Nokia, it is now Sony Ericsson's turn to announce mobile phones aimed at emerging markets. The T270 and T280, based on Sony Ericsson's highly successful T610, are designed to appease both the fashion minded and business class consumers. These two new models offer style while not compromising on their functionality sans a hefty price tag. The T270a and T280a support 850/1900 GSM frequencies whereas the T270i and T280i support 900/1800 networks.

“We have developed two phones that meet the needs of two distinct audiences,” said Howard Lewis, Vice President and Head of Entry Level products at Sony Ericsson. “The T270 and T280 build on the appeal of iconic Sony Ericsson phones like the T610. They are good looking and tick all of the right boxes; whether it's for the business user wanting a compact work phone or the everyday user looking for a classic, stylish camera phone.”

Both the phones will be available within the first quarter of 2008. Read on for more specifications...
