This phone might be the most beautiful phone of the day from Sony Ericsson, although it looks a bit thick and perhaps clumsy. Compared to the T650 there’s some small differences like a 2 megapixel camera instead of the 3.2 megapixel, 2.5G instead of 3G, but apart from that it looks like it’s more or less the same phone in a different shell.

Full press release from Sony Ericsson:
