Maybe not the most sought after phone but it deserves a thread.

‘Simple sophistication’ sums up the Sony Ericsson T250
08 May 2007
* Premium materials and finish
Classic design phone with stylish metal finish
* Contemporary look
12.6mm slim in two stand-out colours:

o Black
* Everyday entertainment
VGA camera and built-in FM Radio
London, UK – 8th May, 2007 – ‘Simple sophistication’ sums up the Sony Ericsson T250, announced today. The stylish metal finish of this compact phone gives it a premium feel that up until now has been the preserve of high end models. Add to this a feature set that makes it easy to stay connected, either with friends or the latest news, and you have the perfect partner for keeping in-touch with style.
“Now you can have quality design and finish in a phone without the high-end price tag,” says Steve Walker, Head of Product Marketing at Sony Ericsson. “We realise that some people want just a straightforward phone, but we don’t feel that this should equate to straightforward design. Although technically the new T250 focuses on doing just the basics well, its advanced design clearly resembles the more premium T650.”
Of course, the T250 is not only about style. For easy communication the T250 has a speakerphone that lets you share your call with others in the room, predictive text input for fast text and picture messaging, and an in-phone calendar that comes in handy for noting key dates or appointments.
Based on consumer feedback, an built-in FM Radio is included on the T250 for music and news around the clock. The T250 kit includes a stereo handsfree headset. To complete the picture, an on-board camera allows you to capture your favourite moments, share them with your friends, or save them in the phone’s memory as a pocket photo album.
With a colour choice of Black or Silver, it’s difficult to determine which is the more elegant. Whichever you choose, though, be sure that the T250 will get you noticed.
The Sony Ericsson T250 will be available in two versions (GSM/GPRS 900/1800 and GSM/GPRS 850/1900) and will ship in selected markets from Q3 2007.

there are still a lot of people that need a phone to make phone calls or texts only. and if i had to recommend a 'basic' phone to someone now it would be this one! its brushed aluminium feels nice and its menus are flash style...

it looks like a replacement or sucessor of k200, even though that just came out. but maybe I'm wrong, seeing as SE decided to resurrect the T series. I wonder where are they headed with this. first the S series, now the T... |

I'm interested to see the price of this one as it is quite a basic phone after all. Another addtition to the T series.

Also, this phone seems to be another with the dedicated red / green call buttons like the Z750i. The directional keypad seems to have fixed shortcuts on it too. Strange!
Probably to make it easier to use.

also to note, they are all thinner than previous SE model's, so should gain over some of samsung's customers.
T250 is simple in design but has the flash menus and an improved UI. but it was also really easy to use.

Its a good idea offering premium materials in a knock down phone. I bet this looks great and feels really nice to use.

I cant believe that  have gone back to a dual band phone and making 2 versions.

If it's priced competitively, it should sell well. A slim, metal and low cost phone will prove popular.
Another clearer picture (in silver):

What do my eyes trick me !!!!
The T series back OMG ?????????????
Where are SE going with this.
Should have made it a K series phone.
Wait now that i think of it didnt T stand for Telephone or something. And this is SIMPLY A TELEPHONE CALLING AND TEXTING WITH SOME NEAT FEATURES ON THE SIDE.
My veiw has changed this is a good idea. The new Telephone series.
Although the T68i T610 T630 etc were T series but they were more than just telephone, they had features.
Im just goin on and on so ill shut up now.
Sorry
