Sony Ericsson today announces two new entry-level phones, designed for lasting communication. With superb talk and standby times, torch functions and FM Radio the J132 does the basics well. Add the camera and Bluetooth™ functions to the K330 and you get further features on an equally straightforward phone.
Two new candy-bar phones from
Sony Ericsson, designed with simplicity and value for money in mind. The J132 is a talk and text phone with FM radio and stereo hands free kit; the solid feel and dust-resistant keypad make it an ideal everyday companion. For those wanting a clear-cut camera phone, the K330 with video capture and Bluetooth™ sharing is the obvious choice. This phone also offers FM radio listening via speakerphone or stereo headset.
“There are certain phone features, such as a large phonebook and torch functionality, that are considered key to consumers in developing markets ” says James Marshall, Head of Portfolio Marketing at Sony Ericsson. “We’ve made sure that both of these phones pack all of the essential features and appeal to anyone wanting a durable, no-nonsense mobile.”
Everything about the J132 is uncomplicated. Its clear and bright screen coupled with its one-click shortcuts and easy-to-use navigation key means that you are ready to text, search for a number or access the FM radio without fuss.
The new J132
Lasting Communication
• Solid talk and text phone with dust-resistant keypad
• FM radio and loudspeaker – enjoy quality radio entertainment with RDS support
• Handsfree Kit – handle calls on the move
• Radio alarm clock – wake up to your favourite station
• Torch function – find objects in the dark
• Up to 9 hours of talk time or 450 hours standby
Alternatively, for those looking for a little bit more from their mobile, the K330 enables users to capture video and photos, plus share them easily via Bluetooth™ with another phone or Bluetooth™ enabled device. Keep your memories with you with the K330’s storage for up to 250 photos or 12 minutes of video footage, making it the perfect pocket photo album.
Since the K330 supports Bluetooth™ it can easily be teamed up with handy accessories such as the new Sony Ericsson Bluetooth™ headsets HBH-PV715, 720 and 740. They represent the next generation of Bluetooth™ accessories – high performance headsets that are stylish, practical and versatile, whatever your needs.
The new K330
Lasting Memories
• Storage for up to 1000 contacts and 450 text messages
• Capture and store up to 12 minutes of video (in 2 minute clips)

So whether it’s dust resistant text, talk and radio or straightforward snap-and-share, the new J132 and K330 add breadth to Sony Ericsson’s entry-level line-up.

True, and look at the buttons on the above official picture. The SE photoshopper guy who makes these did a bad job of making them look realistic. They just look plain odd!

After the Xperia X1, this phone and one of the bluetooth headsets have usb port. Slowly slowly, SE will dumb the fastport, as all manufactures should move towards 3.5mm audio jack and usb port, both for convinience and for enviroment protection, and ultimately they should stop selling handsets with chargers and headsets. If they are universal, they should be available as optional accesories for whomever don't have them.
It is weird that they are starting with a low end modem, BUT keep in mind that in China there is a new regulation that all phones sold there MUST have a usb port. And if SE or any other manufacture wants to keep selling phones in China, they will have to convert to usb sooner or later. |

Interesting there is no single pic of the top of this phone 
Or maybe it's just "white screen" option

The Nokia look of the J132 might just make people interested in the lower end spectrum consider this. I'm talkin about India though. Also, i hope they price it sensibily. |
