The new Sony Ericsson Z555 combines advanced features with breathtaking aesthetics
Las Vegas, USA – 6th January 2008 – Sony Ericsson today revealed the Z555, an elegant clamshell phone which combines a rich feature set with striking good looks. It’s a perfect match of the latest feature set with an innovative diamond design, intended to make one big style statement.
Together with the Z555, Sony Ericsson announced a series of stylish new accessories including a Design Collection of four leather bags all offering unique and creative carrying solutions, as well as three new sleek Bluetooth™ Headsets, HBH-PV708, HBH-PV770 and HBH-PV712.
“The Z555 is designed to reflect your look and attract attention,” said Sven Totte, Head of Style Marketing at Sony Ericsson. “We’ve created it for people who are looking for a beautifully designed phone that reflects their personal style and does not compromise on features or performance.”
Sony Ericsson Z555 – A statement of style
Gesture Control – manage calls with a wave of your hand
Hidden display – for an uninterrupted finish
Everchanging themes to suit the season
Sleek design accessories to complete your look
Make a statement
Whether at work or at play, you have a personal style that’s all your own – a style and look that the Z555 sets off perfectly. With a unique diamond reflective finish on the front, and sophisticated details, it truly reflects your personality. Choose between Diamond Black and Dusted Rose and you will soon get noticed.
Just wave the interruptions away
The Z555 incorporates Sony Ericsson’s handy Gesture Control, letting you easily mute the phone or snooze its alarm without having to interrupt what you’re doing. When a call comes in, a simple movement of your hand back and forth over the phone mutes the ringtone. Similarly, sweep your hand over the phone when using it as your alarm clock to put it into ‘snooze’ mode. Works like magic!
Stay informed – discreetly
The Z555’s outside display shows you who is calling even without opening the clamshell. When it’s in idle mode, the outside display remains discretely invisible…with no compromise to the design.
The latest look
Just like you, the Z555 changes its look to fit the suit the season. The colours and designs that appear within the phone’s themes, effectively the look of the menu system and home screen, can update automatically as the year goes by. Linked to the phone’s calendar, the Z555 knows when it’s time for that summer look to give way to the fall. It even saves something special for big events like News Year’s Eve!
Indulge your passions on the go
The Z555 allows you to grab that spare moment in a taxi to catch up with your favourite band or even book. Store your favourite music tracks or audio books on the phone and sort them by chapters, albums or artists. Tune in to FM Radio for the weather, traffic or the latest celebrity news.
Snap the action as it happens
The Z555’s 1.3MP camera ensures that you’re always in a position to snap the action as it happens. Take a picture of a potential new purchase and send it as a picture message to a friend or upload it directly to your ‘blogsite’ so that everyone can share what you’ve been up to.
Accessorise to complete the look
Any stylist will tell you that no look is complete without the right accessories. The Design Collection offers four different stylish leather bags that complement
your style and protect your phone at the same time. This Collection offers creative and stylish carrying solutions that fit with your phone and your style.
The Z555 is also compatible with three sleek new Bluetooth™ headsets:
The Bluetooth™ Headset HBH-PV708 offers the best combination of style and convenience – to keep you in touch whether you’re walking the dog or buying a coffee
The Bluetooth™ Headset HBH-PV770 provides an alternative in-ear wearing style so that you can still use it while wearing your glasses or sunglasses
The Bluetooth™ Headset HBH-PV712 reduces background noise and maximises comfort, letting you concentrate on the person you are talking with. It also raises the style stakes thanks to the two changeable Style-up™ covers included with it.
The Z555i is an EDGE/GSM/GPRS 900/1800/1900 phone that will be available in selected markets from Q1 2008. The Z555a is an EDGE/GSM/GPRS 850/1800/1900 phone, available in the same timeframe.
The Design Collection will be available in selected markets from January 2008.
The three Bluetooth™ Headset (HBH-PV708, HBH-PV712 and HBHPV770) will be available in selected markets from February 2008.

Had the same thought the instant the pictures appeared.
These two look better than Prism though with their tartan-like feel.

Anyone else wondering why they still haven't released any keypad pics for this phone? I'm beginning to believe this phone is still in a partially designed state and the keypad is not yet confirmed!

It reminds me of this beast of a phone:
But the version that had the same kind of cross pattern on the front. Nasty little phone it was. My mate had one and it ended up duct-taped together because it broke too easily. I guess I'm saying the Z555i looks cheap.

I never said it had the same hinge... I mean the appearance is cheap.

looks huge phone and it is 17mm thick   with tiny screen, which looks even tinier now
again an se phone which basically relies on it's design
I would have preferred to have an se phone like nokia's 6131, I have it and the screen is amazing, makes me forget the rest not so extraordinary specs
