Preview of SonyEricssons new phones

2 October 2002
The P800 will be the next big thing coming from SonyEricsson. At least that's what's been predicted in various magazines and web sites. I was luck to spend a couple of hours with comparing the P800, T600, T200 and T100.
It's no doubt that the P800 have the most features and is the ultimate gadget. But it may be too expensive for the man in the street. The T300 on the other side is a real game machine aimed at the young generation. The T300 may look a little large, but it's much lighter than you may expect. The joystick is different than the T68's but it was easy to navigate with it. I didn't spend much time with each phone, but only took a quick look at the news features.

Downloadable games are the next big thing. The T300 comes with a couple of games pre-installed. I tried the cool classic Atari Space Invaders. It was very addictive. A good thing is that Sony Ericsson probably will release more downloadable games for free. So when you are tired of the old ones, just select the "Download games" menu and install a new one! If you are tired of the colour of the phone, you can change them by buying a new one. My favourite was the green one.


The T600 is the T66's inheritor. It's smaller, much faster and has a nice design compared to the T66. The T600 also come with some cool pre-installed games. Playing a 2D car racing game was especially fun. The phone vibrated when you bumped into a corner..
