Sony Ericsson T230 mobile phone
Skip contentSony Ericsson T230 is a dual band mobile phone, and a budget level instrument in the candy bar format. Some of the phone’s useful features are its MMS multimedia messaging capability, support for GPRS and WAP technology, a voice memo recorder, and the full e-mail client support.
The display on the Sony Ericsson T230 is a backlit LCD screen with a resolution of 101 x 80 pixels, which can display up to 4,096 different colours. With MMS you can send pictures and sound with your text messages, and so the display also acts as your window on the pictures you send and receive with your messages.
The Sony Ericsson T230 has no integrated camera, although a CommuniCam™ camera is available as an optional accessory, and this can be plugged in when needed. With this camera accessory you can take pictures and send them to friends using the phone’s MMS messaging capability. You can also add digital sound recordings to your MMS messages, using the voice memo feature.
Real music polyphonic ringtones are supported, and it is possible to download new ringtones from a WAP site, or via an MMS message. With the onboard digital sound recorder you can make recordings that you can then use as ringtones, and yet another alternative is to create your own ringtones using the onboard melody composer. Although this phone has no Java™ capability it does come with 2 embedded games, and more games may be downloaded when you want to try something new.
The GPRS capability allows you to have an “always on” connection and provides faster access when you need to search the mobile Internet using the WAP browser. Another useful feature of the Sony Ericsson T230 is its full e-mail engine, which supports the standard POP3, IMAP4 and SMTP protocols.
If you wish to, you can also link the Sony Ericsson T230 to other compatible devices such as computers or PDAs, using a USB or RS232 data cable when you want to exchange files or data with the phone.
