Japanese network AU KDDI have just announced their winter range of handsets. The line-up includes two Sony Ericsson handsets – one for the “older crowd” and AU KDDI’s first Bravia-branded handset for the high-end segment.
The phone for the 'oldies' is called Urbano Barone and has been designed specifically for this segment, i.e. keys with a high contrast colour scheme. It sports a 5-megapixel camera with auto focus, a large 3-inch WVGA-resolution screen, GPS, WiFi and supports microSD cards up to 16 gigs. Quite a cool phone for the oldies I must add.
The Bravia-branded phone, dubbed the U1 (the Satio being the U10 :)), is not the first handset to make it to the mobile scene in Japan. NTT DoCoMo have had Bravia handsets earlier on, but this is a first for AU KDDI. Like the Urbano Barone, the U1 features a 3-inch WVGA-resolution screen, but this one uses Sony’s Bravia technology. It is even capable of enjoying Blu-ray movies on this device using Sony’s Blu-ray forwarding technology to hook it up with a third party Blu-ray player. Other than that we’ve got the usual set of features for a phone in the land of the rising sun, famous for its leagues ahead technology. This includes a 5-megapixel auto focus camera, Bluetooth, GPS, mobile TV and WiFi. And it's waterproof of course! Sweet isn't it? Anything for this side of the world Sony Ericsson?
