On the 24th January, Sony Ericsson announced two new handsets to their range, the Sony Ericsson R300i and Sony Ericsson R306i. These new handset are aimed at the music market with their key feature being the in-built radio features.
The Sony Ericsson R300i is a small and compact phone, with a classic old school design. The R300i allows the user to store their favourite FM and AM radio stations, which can be accessed by the touch of a button. You can set your alarm clock to your favourite radio station or an MP3 file. As well as listening to your favourite radio stations on your handset, the R300i an also record your favourite radio station. And with the handsets built-in 8Mb of shared memory, you can record all the favourite shows and listen to them again and again. The only disappointing feature of the Sony Ericsson R300i would be the fact that is doesn’t have any expandable memory option.
So even with the total focus on music, the Sony Ericsson R300i also features some other pretty impressive specs including a digital camera, email client and support for java. With java support you can install third party program applications and games to enhance your phone functionality. Some top java programs include Opera mini, which offers a superior web browsing experience, Gmail, a smooth simple menu layout for access your Google email, and eBay, who provide a java app that lets you keep up to date with all your auctions and purchases.
