Sony Ericsson K618

by Peter Rojas posted Aug 8th 2006 at 7:45AM

Sony Ericsson just kicked out the K618, a new UMTS handset that they're touting as being as "light and slim as a typical 2.5G phone". Which probably makes tons of sense to the average consumer. Anyway, besides UMTS the K618 has a 1.9-inch, 176 x 220 pixel LCD screen, a 2.0 megapixel digital camera, and Bluetooth EDR (and support for A2DP, which means you can use it with stereo Bluetooth headphones). Should hit "selected markets" sometime in Q3 of this year, and no price is listed. Click on to see a couple shots of the K618 in white.

This is pretty much the same device as the Vodafone-Branded Sony Ericsson V630i, just with a new name and no Vodafone Logo.

Interesting bit of info:
The UAProfile for the device indicates that it also supports the "AudioVideoRemoteControl" Bluetooth Profile (also found on the K800i and V630i). This allows the user to control a Bluetooth-Capable media player using the device.

I like this phone but is it quad band? Because if it is not it sucks.

Is that a front-facing VGA cam above the right side of the display (it's more visible on the white model)?

No, it's triband 900/1800/1900. Good stuff.

I really like the Sony Ericsson candybars...but Verizon is the only decent provider in my area. =(

The White is sweet but I agree with Finished, it not being Quad Band SUCKS for those of us in the U.S. Especially certain parts where the 850 band runs things.
