London, 02 March 2005 – Sony Ericsson has announced the K300 camera phone. This entry level camera phone provides mobile video and picture messaging. Such affordable simplicity makes the K300 the ideal first step imaging phone.
“Now everyone can enjoy picture and video messaging with a phone that is very simple to use,” says Jan Wareby, Corporate Executive, Vice President and Head of Sales and Marketing of Sony Ericsson. “The K300 has many functions previously only seen in higher end phones so it’s perfect for capturing and sharing special moments, delivers fast and smooth entertainment applications and is also a highly useful work tool.”
The camera is used horizontally, allowing shots to be stable and well framed, and 4x digital zoom gives great results at a distance. The K300 doubles up as a video and photo album as its 12MB on-board memory will store a sizeable collection of 120 10-second video clips or 500 VGA images. The 65K colour screen makes for good quality viewing of stills and footage.
The entertainment experience provided by the 3D-Java games engine is fast and responsive, and users can enjoy a host of 2D and 3D games downloaded direct to the phone from Sony Ericsson Fun and Downloads. The K300 is available in Visual Blue or Smooth Silver and will be in shops starting Q1 2005.
