Sony Ericsson's K630 gets official in black and gold
Just in case two recently announced Sony Ericsson mobiles weren't enough for one day, along comes the K630 to quell your grumbling. This handset sports a slightly less impressive feature set than the other two newcomers, but it ought to put a noticeably smaller dent in your wallet to compensate. Nevertheless, the K630 will be available in Havana Gold and Quick Black and will feature HSDPA, Microsoft Exchange ActiveSync preloaded, a two-megapixel camera, 256MB M2 card, built-in Media Browser, an FM tuner, support for MP3 / AAC / WMA formats, Bluetooth 2.0 with A2DP, video recording at 15fps and USB connectivity. Mum's the word on pricing at the moment, but look for it to land in "select markets" during Q4. Check out a video of the device right over here.[Thanks, tootie_boy]
Sony Ericsson K630i hits the FCC in Vodafone trim
We're not sure exactly what the deal is with this rather plain-looking candybar, but as far as we can tell, it's not something Sony Ericsson has announced -- and that makes it interesting, even if its appearance leaves something to be desired. Our best guess is that it's a follow-on to either the V630i or the K610i, due both to the similarity in model numbers and in handset design. That doesn't totally jibe, though, because the V640i is coming in as part of Voda's holiday lineup -- and it looks decidedly lower-end than the K610i -- so your guess is as good as ours. We think we can make out a "3.0 Megapixel" badge adorning the lens on the rear next to a positively gargantuan speaker (no complaints here!). Up front, the secondary cam suggests 3G, a hunch confirmed by the test report's listing of UMTS 2100 alongside GSM 900 / 1800 / 1900 and Bluetooth 2.0+EDR. We're guessing we won't see an Americanized version of this one down the pike, and frankly, that's just fine by us.
