Sony Ericsson announces the T303 slider phone
4 March 2008 by Olav Hellesø-Knutsen Sony Ericsson today announced the T303 slider phone at the yearly CeBIT trade fair Sony Ericsson announced no less than 7 new devices at the Mobile World Congress one month ago leaving very few supprices for the CeBIT fair this year. The new Sony Ericsson T303 is on of the smallest Sony Ericsson phone models to date. Only the Z520 and Z300 clamshell series are smaller. Sony Ericsson T303 is a slider model hiding the number keys when not needed. Only a few navigation buttons are accessible when it is closed. T303 should be put in the low-end segment with only 8MB free storage. This will leave room for only 20+ photos taken with the 1.3 megapixels camera. The press release does not mention any expandable memory option which we find strange. The T303 also has a MP3 player as well which make the few 8MB even less usefull. We might be wrong so the T303 could have expandable memory but none of the press images shows any input holes for memory slots. Sony Ericsson T303 will be found in two colors: silver and black. T303 will be available in selected markets from mid 2008 Press release: The stylish new T303 slider phone furthers Sony Ericsson's commitment to broaden its appeal to a wider audience. Petite and good looking, it offers designer good-looks without the price tag to match. Hanover, Germany – 4th March 2008 – Sony Ericsson today unveiled the T303, an attractive phone that is small and neat enough to carry with you on every occasion. This compact slider phone has been given the high-end treatment, with a mirrored screen, metal housing and chrome finish. "The T303 is a great addition to the Sony Ericsson T-line of products, combining premium finish and materials with a good feature-set to deliver 'style with substance'." said Lykke Tærsbøl, Senior Designer at the Sony Ericsson Creative Design Centre. "The balance between shape and size in combination with the design makes it a truly eye-catching product. Our aim was to create a phone that would function equally as a daily companion as well as something to show off on a night out. Sony Ericsson T303

(HSDPA and a 5mp cam) im not reffering to this crap low end phone features On 24 Mar 07:52 guitar wrote @ dale: But then it wouldn't be a low end phone! I'm so sick of people that bitch about how low end phones only have 1.3MP cameras, I remember when a VGA camera was godly to have on a phone, and im sure so do all of you.

On 14 Mar 16:37 REO wrote Another crappy phone by SE. After many years as a die hard SE Fan, I left due to long waits for something exciting, fresh and high end. I now, own an iphone and enjoy it so much !!!!!!!! bye bye SE......... Let me know when you come up with real high end phones..... Then maybe.... just maybe, I will come back......

On 7 Mar 22:51 siameseplantpot wrote @mohammedoli for this phone, 8mb and 20 photos is the same as 32mb and 80 photos? 32/4 is 8 and 80/4.. youre agreeing! On 7 Mar 21:29 korbindallis wrote low end segment is the target audience for this phone and see how the T250 is selling i think this will also sell well if u want 3G and Flash u have your K800 and K850 On 7 Mar 09:25 laffen wrote @MuhammadOli It depends on the photo of course. The 20+ calculation was base on a couple of old images I found on my pc take with a W550. It has a 1.3 megapixel camera and produces images with around 350kb in size. 8000 / 350 = 22.59 On 6 Mar 14:56 MuhammadOli wrote Taken from the first paragraph of the article: "This will leave room for only 20+ photos taken with the 1.3 megapixels camera." That doesn't seem quite right. The SE V600i/K600i had a 1.3 MP camera and 32 MB memory and it could store well over 80 photos at full resolution. I think that perhaps was a poor calculation! :) On 6 Mar 01:53 phoneuser wrote I don't understand why some if not a lot of people expect every new model to have the latest and greatest specs. Isn't there a concept of target market segment anymore? I mean think of the poor blokes who can't upgrade from their t68s because the better looking phones costs an arm and a leg. On 5 Mar 19:16 txmrolf wrote WTF!!! No 3G? 1.3 Megapixels? No flash? This product seems like something that was archived, then later revived!... might be useful for my grandma though. On 5 Mar 18:09 N1 wrote Mates, calm down!! This is great and BEUTIFUL entry level phone. Why everybody hallways speaks in 5, 7 … MP!? At this price level the new T 303 it’s a great phone.
