Side 1: J100

3GSM-messen i Barcelona er i full gang, og Sony Ericsson har nettopp lansert 3G-telefonen K610.

Selskapets andre telefon i dagens lansering er er billigtelefonen J100. Dette er den enkleste mobiltelefonen Sony Ericsson har presentert på lang tid, og sikter seg inn mot deg som kun leter etter basisfunksjoner i en telefon.

J100 måler 10 x 4,4 x 1,8 centimeter, og har en vekt på 70 gram. Skjermen har en oppløsning på 96 x 64 piksler, og kan vise 65 000 farger.

Med J100 kan du hovedsaklig ringe og sende SMS. Støtte for MMS finnes ikke. Noe kamera er heller ikke inkludert. J100 har ikke egen telefonbok, slik at du må lagre alle telefonkontaktene dine på SIM-kortet dit.. Ellers reklamerer Sony Ericsson med at J100 har kalender med bursdagsvarsling, vibrering og polyfoniske ringetoner.

Batterikapasiten skal i følge Sony Ericsson stå i høysetet hos J100, og telefonens hvile- og taletid er satt til henholdsvis 300 og 8 timer. J100 vil bli tilgjengelig i fargene skumringsblå og polarhvit, og skal komme i salg i løpet av andre kvartal i år. Hva J100 kommer til å koste er foreløpig uvisst.
