THIS PRODUCT SHIPS IN OEM PACKAGING -
GO GREEN AND SAVE GREEN
Manufacturers sometimes offer discounts when large quantities of products are purchased without fancy, colorful, retail packaging. We take advantage of these opportunities to bring you the same quality, retail product at a lower price. Retail packaging is designed to look good on a store shelf and attract your attention. It frequently includes more paper, plastic and cardboard than needed. OEM packaging is not as visually attractive but is far more economical and because OEM packaging uses less paper, plastic, ink and cardboard it creates less waste and is better for the environment. Although OEM packaged product ships in a plain white or brown box you can be assured it is the same quality product as the retail packaged version. Buying OEM packaged products saves you money and helps save the planet…GO GREEN AND SAVE GREEN. Included accessories, software, documentation, and manufacturer warranties on OEM products may vary from retail versions. Please review our detailed specifications and photo gallery for included accessories and see below for warranty information.

This telephone is great. The pictures are unbelievable coming from a camera phone. The music player is great. With a 1gb microSD card you can get about 250 songs on it, with room still left for pictures. The phone also has bluetooth, games, a great UI, and is very sleek looking. I recommend it and also recommend buying a case

This phone is absolutly amazing! Its perfect fot people who love music. It has an MP3 player -although it may only hold about 30 songs- but it also has a radio, which makes up for the lack of having alot of room for songs. It also has a microphone to talk into and everything. It comes with a little chip so you can put pictures on your computer that you take from your phone, and it has alot more stuff on it. For the price, this phone is absolutly amazing. I bought it 2 days ago and I love it

Very good phone. Went from a RAZR v3i to this. I think from now on I will stick with the flip phones but if you like bar phones this is a good by. If your like me and only want a MP3 player and don't care about Bluetooth this is the phone to get.

i like,very nice phone..but still need Bluetooth:)
To Sony Ericson: u guys make best cell phones.!
Bluetooth wireless technology is a short-range communications technology
intended to replace the cables connecting portable and/or fixed devices while
maintaining high levels of security. The key features of Bluetooth technology
are robustness, low power, and low cost.
It’s more than seeing. It’s
believing.
Before wires, everything was wireless. Nature found ways to connect it
all—often on a very mysterious frequency. Bluetooth wireless technology
takes its prompt from nature: harmonious, intuitive, seamless. Products with
Bluetooth wireless technology communicate with a sense of purpose and
elegant efficiency. Today, Bluetooth wireless technology can eliminate
wires. In the future, it may make the word “wireless” entirely obsolete.
By then, Bluetooth freedom will be second nature.
Designed to make connectivity invisible and
reliable. A perfect convergence of extraordinary technology and elegant
simplicity. Hundreds of companies are on board. Thousands of engineers have
contributed. Standards have been set. Specifications have been approved.
More than one billion devices are in use. And people are experiencing just
how far they can go.
It’s integrating every dimension of
productivity.
Where do we work? Desk. Sofa. Car. Hotel. Kitchen. Plane. Yard. It’s not one
location; it’s everywhere. It’s not one application; it’s many. With
Bluetooth wireless technology, our options are endless. It’s where we’d most
expect it and where we’d least expect it—and everywhere in between. It
adapts to how we work and how we live, transforming everyday tasks into
everyday solutions. Surprising, nimble, ubiquitous. Seeking new applications
and finding new opportunities—everywhere we turn.
Technically,
Bluetooth is a specification for the use of low-power radio communications to wirelessly link phones, computers and other network devices over short distances. The name "Bluetooth" is borrowed from Harald Bluetooth, who was a king in Denmark more than 1,000 years ago
(Computer people choose the strangest names!). Bluetooth technology was designed primarily to support simple wireless networking of personal consumer devices and peripherals, including cell phones, PDAs,
and wireless headsets.

Note
About Cell Phone Expansion Memory!
Many cellular phones come with a slot
for expansion memory, such as: Mini or MicroSD, MemoryStick Micro, or
others. Expansion memory is a great way to safeguard photos, contact
lists, and other files. On our product pages, we may show photos or
diagrams of how this memory is inserted and used with the phone for
informational purposes, since we try to be as comprehensive in our
explanation of each phone's features and functions as possible.
However, additional expansion memory cards are NOT included with the phone
(unless explicitly stated).
Remember, regardless of the
brand of your phone, use only compatible micro/mini SD, or memory stick
cards, approved by your phone's manufacturer for use with your device. This
is because not all expansion memory is designed for the same specifications
(such as read/write speeds and capacity). Incompatible cards may
damage the card and the device and corrupt data stored on the card.
Also, when inserting a memory
card into your phone, your phone may prompt to format the memory card.
When a memory card is reformatted, all data on the card is permanently lost.
Some memory cards are supplied preformatted and others require formatting.
Consult your memory card's user guide to find out if you must format the
memory card before you can use it. If you are using a memory card in
your phone that was used on another device, such as a digital camera, or a
PC, exercise caution as viruses can be transferred in this way. Never
insert a memory card into a computer that does not have up-to-date antivirus
software. Only open files on the memory card that are known safe.
When in doubt, insert the card in a compatible computer and run a antivirus
scan.
What are GSM and GPRS?
GSM (Global System for Mobile Communications) has become the most successful global mobile technology for mobile phones and digital cellular networks with more than one billion subscribers. GPRS (General Packet Radio Service) brings the possibility of data services and applications based on Internet Protocol (IP) to GSM mobile networks. In current network implementations, GPRS data transfer speeds are between 30 to 40 Kbit/s.
What do GSM and GPRS do?
GSM is designed to deliver high-quality and secure mobile voice and data services to mobile users. Its success is based
on its inherent support for roaming and interoperability across a number of different networks and across a number of
different countries. GSM is available on multiple frequency bands globally and offers the widest selection of mobile
services and mobile terminals currently available.
GPRS enables fast connections through which information can be sent and received as the need arises, without having to wait for a dial-up modem to establish a connection. This is why GPRS devices are sometimes referred to be as being an 'always online' technology. And because pricing is often based on the amount of data transferred rather than the connection time, this has made GPRS applications such as email popular with small and large businesses around the world.
Benefits of GSM & GPRS
International standard - one and the same mobile phone works across continents
International roaming capability for professionals travelling overseas
Well established interoperability of GSM/GPRS devices and networks
What is Java?
Java is a software technology developed to provide a common base for running applications across a wide variety of computing platforms. It consists of a programming language and a run-time environment.
Java applications can run on servers, personal computers, mobile phones and other devices. Because the capabilities of these computing platforms vary, Java has evolved into 3 editions:
1.) Java 2 Enterprise Edition (J2EE) - for high-end business machines
2.) Java 2 Standard Edition (J2SE) - for personal computers
3.) Java 2 Micro Edition (J2ME) - for smaller handheld devices such as mobile phones and PDAs
The Mobile Information Device Profile (MIDP) is a key element of the J2ME, defining a platform for dynamic networked applications. Developers using MIDP can write applications once, then deploy them to a wide variety of mobile devices.
MIDP has been widely adopted as the platform of choice for mobile applications.
How does it work?
Software written in Java is independent of operating systems, as the instructions are interpreted in the computer at the time when the software is run, not beforehand. Every computer or device that runs a Java application must
have a Java Virtual Machine that adapts the application code for the specific device and before executing it.
What is mobile email?
Mobile email offers the possibility of sending and receiving email from your mobile device wherever you are. You may even be able to use the same email account you have on your desktop or laptop computer.
How does it work?
There are several ways to receive email on a mobile device. These are to do with the application used, and the underlying technology that makes it possible. With web-based email services, a browser is used to access the email interface on the mobile device. With a client-server email implementation, the user interface is provided by the email client, which interacts with an email server to send/receive email messages. This is similar to email clients you may use on a desktop PC like Microsoft Outlook.
In some email clients, such as BlackBerry, email is automatically retrieved when email is received. In other email clients, the user decides when and how often e-mail should be fetched.
Benefits of Mobile Email
Mobile email has one of the highest impacts on productivity after voice
Email is the office application most mobile workers would like to see integrated into their mobile phones
Studies show that the availability of mobile email may result in up to an additional 55 minutes of work a day
