Sony Ericsson ‘s new T715 is among an array of mid-range phones released recently. You have Nokia 6303 Classic, Nokia 5130 XpressMusic, Samsung S3500i, Samsung Star and the list goes on. Will T715 stand out from its peer or will it sink into the background as another ordinary phone?
The petit paper box houses the T715 phone, a battery, a charger, a handsfree set and a user’s guide. Nothing fancy, nothing new.
One of the advantages of T715 is its handiness and its favorable size. It weighs only 93g, with dimensions of 91.5 x 48 X 14.9mm - a really pocket-friendly handset. The display is a 256K-color TFT. It performs very well under sunlight as well.
The alphanumeric keypad looks kind of plain but it is functional and practical which is the most important, right?
You have the model number printed at the bottom of the phone. It’s minor, but I would love it to be clean.
Volume rocker and shutter release on the ride side.
Fast Port on the other. A rather standard Sony Ericsson layout.
The color scheme of the phone is very pleasing. Take this rogue pink and metallic silver combination as an example, simple and stylish.
The camera is more than you can ask for: 3.2MP with flash, employing autofocus and onscreen editing software. You can do geotagging and record video with it. The details of the subtle geometric prints are attractive.
I am glad to see MicroSD in a Sony Ericsson phone. One step forward.
The standard Sony Ericsson menu. I like the desktop calendar reminder though. Friends’ birthdays will not be missed anymore.
Sony Ericsson T715 is more than adequate for a mid-range phone. It has a luxurious look. The functionality is sufficient. Integrated camera, HSDPA connection, drag and drop MediaGo, FM radio, there might me a few fanciful features missing, but still a delightful phone.
