Sony Ericsson announced the T715 slider phone with a 2.2 inch display and 3.2 megapixel camera

The Sony Ericsson T715 has support for microSD memory card following the trend started by the recently announced Sony Ericsson Satio, Aino and Yari models to not use Memory Stick cards. The T715 are bringing us back to the old name strategy where consumers knowing the Sony Ericsson mobile phone range should be able to place the 715 high up in the T-series. The Sony Ericsson web site compares the phone with F305, Naite and T280 which are considered low- to mid-end models. The final retail price for T715 is currently not known.

Sony Ericsson emphasize the following for T715

• 
  Elegant and compact slider


• 
  Large keypad and font size


• 
  3G network connection


• 
  Large 2.2 inch screen


• 
  Smart desktop and birthday reminders


• 
  3.2 megapixel camera with photo light

The display are claimed to have good readability even in direct sunligh. This is of course a feature we should expect from every mobile phone.
