¨Sony Ericsson celebrates luxury and style with its new golden handset
Sony Ericsson introduces a touch of luxury to its design-led range. The ultra vibrant and sassy Precious Gold T650i is a beautifully crafted object for style leaders everywhere.¨
The new sleek exclusive addition to the range has the same stylish attributes as its predecessors but with an opulent addition - an 24 carat gold plating that encases the screen and scratch-resistant mineral glass display making the T650i one of the ultimate luxury icons to own.
With a crisp and clear 1.9-inch screen and a variety of unique light effects that move from screen to keypad to the back of the phone in seamless waves, the 12.5 mm slim phone demonstrates exquisite attention to detail that will leave you wanting to reach out and touch the phone.
Available in Growing Green, Midnight Blue, Eclipse Black and the newly announced Precious Gold, the Sony Ericsson T650i isn't just a stunning face; it also features intuitive light animations that appear only at special times of the year. Valentine's Day is marked by the subtle integration of amorous hearts into the wallpaper display and come January 1, a celebratory star burst appears to welcome in the New Year; making personalization into a personal surprise.
And for style-watchers everywhere, the T650i doesn't force you to compromise because it also boasts state-of-the-art technology such as a 3.2 megapixel camera with auto focus, enhanced browsing capabilities and to ensure a great listening experience, the built-in media player incorporates the latest Bluetooth™ technology so music can be streamed in stereo directly from phone to a specially created pink and gold headset.
Elie Otaki, Marketing Manager of Sony Ericsson-Middle East and North Africa, said:
'The new Sony Ericsson T650i in Precious Gold will appeal to those who appreciate the finer things in life. Our decision to create a phone with real gold plating and rose-coloured casing evolved from a consumer's request for a mobile that was like a piece of her jewellery - glamorous, expensive and exquisite in quality.'
A design statement which begs to be noticed, touched, held and owned - the new Sony Ericsson T650i in Precious Gold is a true object of desire.

Posted by Exilim
Yes, very girly

My sister would kill for one of these

But I would run away from it

What about exchanging the bottom part whit the original black?
Would look someting like this...
Posted by Daedalus85
Ohhh, now THATS classy, especially if there was a hint of leather in there too.

Is it just me, or does the pink/gold look like a very tasty icecream?

I would too, actually, as fast as my legs can take me. From both of them in fact. Platinum would have been way better. Gold looks tacky and somehow the colours don't look well matched.
@marran
An ice-cream, may be. Say, dark chocolate with caramel on top. Now, dark bitter-sweet delight, I'm all for it, caramel though is just not my thing... seriously

Eclipse Black remains my champion.
Briefly put, spare me the Midas' touch, T650 should have been spared that is, but why not milk a good-looking product to the utmost, even if it makes it worse (especially the gold-pink combo)

I do not love pink. I just want to have SE's special edition, the 24k gold one. The pink part doesnt matter. Just for collectible item only.

Posted by LesleyAnn
imo it looks like sg off the bourjois counter... i'd lose it in my make-up bag, all that pink and gold!

Posted by Pochi
Pink=luv
Hell yeah!
Posted by Skrue
I'm guessin that the phone has been released for the middle east only.
very limited here and stores running out of it thus price is very high. Got the missus one just now and won't be giving it to her until next week as an anniversary and advanced birthday gift. i hope that she's happy with this since she's been using my slooow k850i since i got fed up of it.
not a very cheap phone indeed. more than a 1000dirhams difference from the green and blue one. then again, i hope she buys me a blue one for her partner and as a consolation price hehe.
