The Sony Ericsson K330, J132 offer simplicity and value for money

Although these two basic mobile handsets were never part of the Sony Ericsson mobile phone leaks which have haunted all of us the past couple of days, their simplicity might actually pull one off the more advanced Sony Ericsson phones announced today. We’re talking here of the candy-bar phones J132 and K330.

The J132 is your basic talk and text mobile phone with added entertainment feature such as an FM radio and a stereo hands free kit. Sony Ericsson gives this handset’s keypad a solid feel as well as a dust-resistant feature to withstand heavy text usage. It has a clear and bright screen that features one-click shortcuts and easy-to-use navigation keys. With a simple phone such as this one, the most important feature that we should look for is its talk time and standby time, which the J132 answers with 9 hours and 450 hours respectively.

The other simple mobile phone that Sony Ericsson announced together with the J132 is the K330. This one delivers a bit more than what the J132 can offer. This basic VGA camera phone captures videos and photos which can be shared via Bluetooth with another Bluetooth-enabled phone. It can also store up to 250 photos or 12 minutes of video, aside from storing up to 1000 contacts and 450 text messages. Other features of the K330 include; 1.7-inch display, FM Radio, Health mate calorie counter and health plan manager, and a torch function for its luminous screen.

The K330 is slated for an early Q3 release in Gold on Black and Green on Black design, while the J132 will be available sometime in Q4 in Black or Blue design.
