Sony Ericsson has "struck back" by revealing FOUR new handsets of its own to combat the RISING NOKIA MENACE. First up the Sony Ericsson S600, being pitched as a loud, entertainment phone that makes lots of noises on the train.
According to The Man: ”The Sony Ericsson S600 offers a maxed out feature set to satisfy the daring fun-seekers,” says Jan Wäreby, Corporate Executive, Vice President and Head of Sales and Marketing of Sony Ericsson -- and if anyone should know what the kids of today wants, it's a corporate executive and vice president of sales and marketing for a major corporation!
MORE PR NONSENSE: "The S600 offers multiple ways of communication for maximum creativity to share messages, pictures and information."
"Gigs, movie schedules, search engines and webmail can easily be checked with the internet browser"
"For the first time games can be played with the screen horizontal, enhancing the widescreen detail and excitement of games and giving a console gaming experience."
"Stereo sound can be enjoyed through the headset packaged with the phone or with friends through the phone’s powerful stereo speakers with MegaBass™ and Stereo Widening™"
