Unveiled just
last week at the Mobile World Congress in Barcelona, the Sony Ericsson Idou is
the latest model by the mobile giant.
The first 12.1
megapixel camera phone ever to be launched in the U.K., the Idou (the name’s a
working title for now) couples the outstanding photography and music technology
signature to its parent company Sony and makes for a truly superior set.
Along with the
outstanding megapixel count, the Idou is outfitted with Xenon Flash and
autofocus functions, producing quality pictures on a 16:9, 3.5-inch
touchscreen, courtesy of Sony’s Cybershot technologies.
Sony Ericsson’s
marriage of touchscreen technologies with mobile camera functions also makes
possible touch screen shooting and focusing, an excellent vantage for those
fond of taking pictures on the go.
The highly
responsive touchscreen is paired with Symbian OS. Add that to superb music
entertainment capabilities of Sony’s Walkman systems, and you have an
all-rounded winner here.
The Sony
Ericsson Idou is the closest upgrade from its cousin, the C905 and is
comparatively slimmer and loaded with better technology. It will be made
available in the second half of 2009.
