Sony Ericsson K810 and K550 News Release Summary:
Sony Ericsson’s K810 and K550: Two new Cyber-shot™ phones making
sure you never miss a shot
London, UK – 6th February 2007 – Soon after announcing it has
shipped 4.5 million Cyber-shot™ camera phones since the launch
of the K790/K800 last summer, Sony Ericsson today introduces two
new phones to the Cyber-shot™ phone family. Intended to deliver
Cyber-shot™ phones to a broader audience, these phones make sure
you never miss an important shot.
The K810 Cyber-shot™ phone is a sleek, high-performance device
boasting a 3.2 megapixel camera including auto focus and a Xenon
flash. Innovative applications such as Photo Fix help to further
improve the quality of your pictures, even after you have taken
them. Illuminated camera icons to the side of the main keypad,
which light up when in camera mode, allow you to access camera
menu options at the touch of a button.
Complimenting the K810, the K550 Cyber-shot™ phone delivers the
benefits of Cyber-shot™ technology in a compact (14mm thin) form
factor with very easy to use features. Equipped with a 2.0
megapixel camera with auto focus plus an LED photo light and
active lens cover, the K550 helps ensure that you’re always
ready to take and share the best possible images. Additionally
Bluetooth™ technology and picture blogging makes it easy to
share quality images with friends and family.
“Worldwide, consumers are realizing that the best digital camera
is the one you have with you,” says Steve Walker, head of global
product marketing at Sony Ericsson. “The K800/K790 introduced
last year established the Cyber-shot™ phone as a credible fusion
of phone and camera. Now the K810 and K550 move the market
forward by introducing new applications and providing real
improvements in the customer experience. Attractive price points
also mean Cyber-shot™ phones are available to a whole new
audience.”
While very slim, the K810 is a feature rich device enabling
consumers to take quality shots while on the move. The new
illuminated camera icons allow you to select advanced camera
settings (such as picture size & self timer) by simply clicking
on one of the hardkeys; so no need to navigate into the full
camera menu and risk missing a special shot. It is a UMTS device
enabling high-speed picture blogging, and will be one of the
most advanced camera phones available.
Don’t miss the action
No longer do poor light conditions and lack of contrast mean a
poor quality picture. When in camera mode, the Xenon flash with
red eye reduction helps with picture taking in low-light
conditions. If a photo needs some improvement, then a new photo
fix solution can optimize brightness & picture contrast at the
touch of a button. Meanwhile, if you are shooting a moving
object (perhaps at a sporting event), then Sony Ericsson’s
BestPic™ feature will let you take nine photos in quick
succession and simply choose the best one.
Sharing your pictures is easily done with the K810 Cyber-shot™
phone thanks to a host of connectivity options: Picture blogging
allows you to upload your shots to your own blog site, while
Bluetooth™ technology and USB 2.0 make it straightforward to
share photos with friends or connect to your PC.
The K810 Cyber-shot™ phone is a UMTS 2100 (GSM 900/1800/1900)
device available beginning Q2 2007 in Europe and Asia. The K810
will be available in two stylish colors: Noble Blue and Golden
Ivory.
K550 Cyber-shot™ phone brings the experience to more people
Even if you are new to camera phone photography or the
Cyber-shot™ experience, the new K550 is designed to be an
intuitive integration of a highly-specified digital camera with
a mobile phone. Simply slide open the lens cover to activate the
camera and the Cyber-shot™ menu appears in the phone’s screen,
which at 1.9” serves as a clear viewfinder.
Once an image has been captured, sharing it can be done in a
number of ways, each one a simple process. Picture blogging
makes it simple to send images to a blog site; support for
Memory Stick Micro™ (M2™) allows the user to transfer images
easily between compatible devices and Bluetooth™ 2.0 provides
for simple sharing with other phones and Bluetooth-equipped
devices. PictBridge makes it possible to print directly via USB
(provided in-box) from the K550 to a compatible printer; cutting
out the computer and the complexity.
Available in Jet Black or Pearl White, the K550 Cyber-shot™
phone is a Quad-Band EDGE device and will launch in North
America from Q2 2007.
Add more to your memories
Two new accessories designed to let you easily manage your calls
and photos were also announced today. The Desk Stand CDS-65
allows you to speedily transfer photographs between phone and PC
via USB, or simply to synchronize data between the two while
charging the phone. Attach a portable Handsfree headset such as
the HBH-PV710 and you can enjoy voice conversations while
transferring images and music. The CDS-65 is available from Q2
2007.
For those who are regularly using their Cyber-shot™ phone (or
any manufacturer’s compatible Bluetooth™ phone) Sony Ericsson’s
new Bluetooth™ Car Speakerphone HCB-120 requires no installation
and attaches effortlessly to a car’s sun visor. The HCB-120
automatically pairs with Sony Ericsson handsets, but also works
with Bluetooth enabled devices from other manufacturers. A
digital display and a built-in tilt sensor ensure that the
display reads the right way and makes it easy to see who is
calling. With leading talk/stand-by times (up to 24 and 450
hours respectively), this speakerphone is a perfect compliment
for the Bluetooth™ functionality in the K550 & K810. The HCB-120
will be available from Q2 2007.
