With Sony Ericsson using Saturday morning anime characters to name their latest entertainment phones, it is calming to know that they have also managed to maintain the old convention of letter+three-digit number for the more basic handsets.
The Sony Ericsson T715 (ahh…feels like home) is a thoroughly unassuming handset, with a large button keypad, a 3.2 megapixel camera, and 3G connectivity. No gimmicks, no hooks for the marketing man to spin a pretty web of lies, just core functionality.
The T715 does however have a ‘Smart Desktop’ (uh-oh, sounds complicated!), which keeps reminders of all important events and information on the home screen for quick and easy access. Phew, was worried that they were going to get all revolutionary for a second, there!
The 90MB of internal memory also has a microSD slot to add a bit more oomph for music and movie storage, and the 2.2″ screen is perfect for the pre-installed Google Maps and Accuweather applications.
If you like your phones utalitarian, this is the one for you.
