Sony Ericsson J200i I was looking for a lightweight handy colour mobile handset as I was bored of using my 3315 Nokia (no other complaints). While surveying the market I had kept some priority as a) colour screen, b) GPRS c) polypohonic ringtones and ofcourse cost. After doing much of matchmaking (sic) I zeroed down to a set from Samsung, one from Nokia and this one Sony Ericsson J200i in the cost range of Rs. 4500-5500. The features that caught my attention;
Colour Display: the colour display of this model is the most attractive feature. The display can be compared with the best of the LCD. The screen is quite wide and the colour reproduction is vivid. To personalize the phone it comes loaded with THEMES. Moreover pictures can be used as wall papers.
Key Pad: the key pad is metallic and the orange glow of the LED inside makes is more upbeat and catchy, in addition to this the joystick navigation key has been multitasked to open SMS writing directly, go to folders or navigate phone list either from top or from bottom, all this with gentle push to the joy stick.
Messaging: the message writing is supported with all usual features in English, Hindi and ? where one can attach pictures and also sound. In addition to this there is facility of Text Formatting, Long Messages, Sending message to Group, Creating templates and attaching the message received while replying it. You can send and receive pictures, and ring-tones.
Sound Quality: the model comes loaded with many polyphonic ring tones with facility of downloading more; the sound reception is excellent including that in the hands free. Yes the SMS tones, Alarm tones are also new and fresh which makes it stand different from other phones.
Connectivity: in addition to the connectivity through GSM [SIM that you use], it allows users to connect to INTERNET through GPRS, Data Transfers and it also has a Infra-Red Gate through the connectivity is allowed to download or exchange ring-tones, pictures, MMS etc. Emergency calls to the international supported numbers [112, 911 and 08] can be made with or without SIM card or connectivity.
Yes friends last but not the least the best part now is that you get a very sleek, handy and attractive handset for a price that you were paying for an ordinary set about a year ago. In the price range of Rs.5200 to 5600 the features that it supports with the brand name and guarantee of Sony Ericsson is what makes this model worth buying.
