Sony Ericsson Z250 Camera Clamshell

Pocket-sized and just 19mm thin, the Sony Ericsson Z250 Camera Clamshell is coming more for its looks than features. Yes it trendy looking but franky the specs are pretty mediocre. It sports a 0.3 megapixel (VGA) camera and the screen is only 1.8" with 65,536 color CSTN and 128 x 160 pixels resolution. The external screen sports an icon display but phone memory is only 10MB. The upside sees "eye-catching metallic patterns" on the 90gms phone. By far the only solace is the 200 pics capacity and the slideshow feature. The Z250 clamshell builds on the story of the recently announced T250 stick or 'candy bar' phone. The smooth front face belies the icon display, hiding it till an incoming call/text lights it up.
