Sony Ericsson targets a style conscious audience with a small and neat slider phone

04 March 2008

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

Style at its best

• Provides pocket-sized convenience

• Promises premium good looks thanks to a metal and chrome finish

• Does the basics well, whether that’s camera, Bluetooth™ or FM radio

Big in looks, mini in size

The T303’s diminutive size is distinctive for all the right reasons. Because it doesn’t take up much room, it’s perfect for those nights out when space is limited and not everything can come out with you. The T303’s compact size means that this phone will always be one of the chosen few.

Chic and smooth, reflecting your every move

The T303’s metal and chrome finish makes it hard for those around you not to be impressed by its premium appearance. Its soft shape and smooth sliding mechanism make it a feel-good experience that you can enjoy every day. And the mirror glass display on the front of the phone goes yet further in making the T303 even more stand-out in its appearance.

Picture perfect

The T303’s megapixel camera is ready to take pictures in an instant. So if you come across the perfect shoes whilst out and about, but want a second opinion, just one quick snap and you can send a picture message to one of your friends. You can use Bluetooth™ technology to transfer photos wire-free from your phone to a compatible computer, and then email them to any number of helpful style-advisers. Or just to send the photos of a day’s adventure directly to a friend’s phone.

Play-as-you-go

With life being ever more hectic, it’s essential to be able to slow down the pace and take time out, whenever you get the chance. The T303 comes with a built-in FM radio, meaning you can tune in, chill out, and let time just pass you by. It also has its own media player and comes preloaded with Sony Ericsson’s TrackID™ feature. Record a clip of a song in a bar or café and find out instantly what track it is and who sings it.

Accessories

With such a good-looking phone, you’ll want to keep it that way. The Protective Case IDC-22, part of Sony Ericsson’s Design Collection, gives you the opportunity to develop your stylish look still further. Not only will it help keep your phone looking good, but it also has room for all of those essentials…your credit cards, keys and your T303.

The Sony Ericsson T303 will offer designer good-looks without the price tag to match. The T303/T303c is a GSM/GPRS 900/1800/1900 phone that will be available in selected markets from mid 2008.

The T303a is a GSM/GPRS 850/1800/1900 phone that will also be available in selected markets from mid 2008.

iiih... lucu... slider mungil

jadi inget siemens s55......

jelek. jelek. jelek.

kliatan melar-gendut-ke-kanan-dan-ke-kiri. Liat deh S500, perbandingan lebar/tinggi pas banget jadi kliatan slim dan streamline. Lha ini?? Siapa sih desainernya?

uke:

bagus bagus aja sih.. cuma kebanyakan announce tapi gada yang di launching...

Harusnya dengan resolusi layar segitu bisa dirampingin lagi jadi 42mm wide or expand aja layarnya jadi 176x220. hehehhe tapi bagus kok, buat nelpon2 ama smsan aja... sayang banget memory ga bisa di tambah... huuuu

kayak P1 mini

saingan samsung E250 nih. kalo harga bisa lebih murah sih bisa laku. tapi feeling gw ini bakal mahalan ketimbang E250. lagian E250 udah lumayan lama. tapi ya, secara fitur, mirip sekali

kecil banget yah....... layar, keypad, kecil semua

Tambah lagi ah gambarnya :

Dan Videonya :

[tautan dihapus]

Kalau mau diposisikan sebagai hape low-end, bagus ah. Kamera 1.3 MP, blutut, slider, RDS, Java, kelemahannya cuma di memory aja. Kalo seharga T250, wow... top banget nih?
Mungkinkah ini versi fashion dari K320?

bawah belakangnya bahenol

Kalo murmer sih boleh lah....

Keren.....

dari jajaran hp clamshell/slider bikinan SE ... gue demen sama kipednya ni hape.... enak aja gitu ngeliatnya perasaan...

harga jangan lebih dari sejuta setengah dah......

still... hate fast port disamping....

T280 udah.
T303 udah, versi slidernya.
besok pasti muncul T306 deh.

Lucu..bantet... yang warna silver kalo diliat2 mirip samsung

Code Name T303 : Hanna.

T303 Whitepaper

Sony Ericsson T303 review: Small is beautiful

Final words

Sony Ericsson T303 is a good enough attempt to fill in the low-end portfolio of the company. We can't frown at the modest, yet nice looking and compact phone, with quality finish and reasonable functionality. Design the undoubted highlight, Sony Ericsson T303 offers balanced performance for its class with Bluetooth, stereo FM radio, Smart search and TrackID.

We cannot overlook its major weakness, storage. The limited built-in memory and no card slot make the MP3 and the radio recording capabilities useless. We could also go on about a tad better display resolution and better imaging quality. The lack of PC synchronization is another potential downer.

By the way, it's easy to get carried away and that would be unfair to the affordable and unassuming T303. Overall, Sony Ericsson T303 is a tempting low-ender - it's sexy, it's mini, it makes sense.

Di-copas dari review-nya gsmarena di atas :

Contacts can be ordered by First or Last name. They are searched by gradual typing of the desired name. When adding a new contact, the first tab of fields offers 2 phone number fields. The second tab is for email addresses. The third is for assigning a picture, a custom ringtone, and a custom message tone. The fourth goes for postal details. The last, fifth tab, is for making an additional note and adding a birth date.

Lihat yang warna biru di atas. Itu fitur baru lho di hape SE, bahkan type2 high-end aja belum punya...

wah asik donk, bisa make tone sms yang beda-beda untuk tiap orang, macam di simbeian punya ya..

Aku dari dulu pake hp kalau sms cuman bunyi tuingggggg sekali aja hehehe dan jarang diganti dengan lain nada.
