T237, T637 for American market from Sony EricssonBy Anthony Newman, Tuesday 9 March 2004
Two new handsets designed for US market offer imaging, music and other standard functionality; match European handsets with different GSM modules.

Today, Sony Ericsson announced two handsets for the Americas. The first of these is the T637, which will be one of the first Sony Ericsson mobile phones to incorporate the Push to talk over Cellular (PoC) technology – allowing quick one-to-one or group communications instantly, similar to a two-way radio.

The T637 is destined for America
In addition,the T637 features a dual front: one is a digital camera enabling consumers to take a picture, while the other side is a mobile phone offering easy access to communications, imaging and gaming

The tri-band GSM/GPRS T637 will be available in the Americas in Q2 2004, with the push to talk capability (PoC) becoming available in line with operators launching services. The 65,536-colour TFT-screen of the phone provides a responsive viewfinder for the inbuilt VGA camera, while the phone also features 32-tone polyphonic sound and Java and Mophun gaming platforms.

The T637 also includes Sony Ericsson's Music DJ function – a 4-track sequencer with which bass lines, drumbeats and chords can be mixed in just a few seconds into original and personalized ring signals. The phone supports Instant Messaging with a variety of popular instant messaging services. The built-in messaging service lets a consumer chat with their friends – either mobile or at a computer.

The “Liquid Black” triple-band T637 supports GSM 850/1800/1900 and is the American version of the successful T630 which is available in European and Asian GSM-markets. It offers a standby time of up to 300 hours or up to 9 hours of talk-time.

The second of the two phones is the T237 mobile phone for the American market. It is a colour screen GSM/GPRS handset featuring picture messaging, downloadable gaming and Internet connectivity.

The T237 boasts picture caller ID, 32-tone polyphonic ringtones (with composer), a 12-bit screen, WAP browser, voice dialling, speakerphone and PC connectivity. The T237 in Blade Grey is a dual band 850/1900 MHz GSM/GPRS handset and will be commercially available in Q2 2004 in the Americas. It offers up to 12.5 days (300 hours) of standby or up to 12 hours of talk-time.
