Sony Ericsson T303 slider phone

Sony Ericsson has unveiled its new T303 handset. Pitched at a "style-conscious audience", the compact (83 x 47 x 14.7 mm) slider phone design features a chrome finished metal housing and 1.8 inch mirrored screen as well as covering the stock-standard functionality bases with Bluetooth™, FM radio and media player, Internet and built-in camera (though the latter is a little light on megapixels - 1.3 - by today's standards).

Weighing in at 93 grams (3.3 oz), the T303 has 8 MB of on-board memory and although it supports USB there doesn't appear to be an expansion slot. Talk time is up to 9 hrs (GSM) or 400 hrs standby time. The media player is preloaded with Sony Ericsson’s TrackID™ feature which can track down the artist and title when you record a song.

The T303/T303c (GSM/GPRS 900/1800/1900 for Europe and China) and T303a (GSM/GPRS 850/1800/1900 for the U.S) phone will be available in selected markets from mid 2008 in two colors - Shimmering Silver and Shadow Black. No word yet on pricing.
