FCC approves Xperia Pureness




Sony Ericsson has designed what may be the wierdest phone ever. It certainly challenges the last ten years of conventional wisdom in phone design.

The Xperia Pureness is a real curiosity. Functionality is as unabashedly as rock-bottom basic as you can get on a contemporary phone. It makes calls and texts, has a music player and a radio. That's about it. The design is similarly minimal, with a monochrome LCD built on a translucent background. That translucent screen is the big gimmick.

The FCC has just given their nod of approval to the Sony Ericsson Xperia Pureness leaving us a little baffled on why is 3G connectivity supported since the transparent screen itself would probably drain battery life like hell, leaving little time for lengthy media streaming sessions and Web browsing on it.

The Sony Ericsson Xperia Pureness candybar handset will be made available this November. The handset is expected to retail for around £530 (approx. Rs. 42,165).
