Just Announced: Sony Ericsson S500 Slider Phone

The beautiful S500 from Sony Ericsson is a direct and sleeker descendant of the W580 Walkman Phone which was just launched in March. The S500 design, however, has been inspired by colors from the natural world, and it absolutely looks as peaceful as a moss-grown rock. The S500, however, is a quadband GSM, which can wake you up at odd hours anywhere in the world you happen to be. It’s got a 2MP camera with video record and playback capabilities. Specs includes POP/IMAP/SMTP email support and an MP3 player. The S500 comes with headphones and a Disc2Phone software. The S500 wil come in two colors: green and yellow. Obviously not made to make an impact in the current technology, it’s meant to be very appealing to the senses. As Najmi Jarwala, president, Sony Ericsson Mobile Communications (USA) Inc put it, It’s the small details that set these phones apart. He goes on: Our designers have taken inspiration from nature to produce phones that are beautiful and alive with energy. They appeal to those that want to celebrate their individuality and express themselves through their choice of phone. Via
