Would you be able to guess what is this device for? A radio? A Phone?

Yes, behold Sony Ericsson's mid range phone named the Sony Ericsson R306 Radio! By looking at the design itself, I'm sure it resembles a radio right? A radio phone.. very special indeed. But what about MP3? Hmm, we shall see next...

This is how the back of the phone looks like.


The front part. It's a flip phone.

This phone actually focus on the radio features FM/AM radio tuner and built in stereo loudspeakers. It comes along with TrackID which you can use whenever you want to find out a specific song title and the artist.

The specification I showed above clearly shows that this is a low-midrange phone from Sony Ericsson. Nothing to be proud of. No wifi, no good camera (only 1.3 MP), no memory card (what can you do with only 5Mb built in memory?) But, but... if you are looking for a budget phone, this is the right phone. I like the design actually.

The Sony Ericsson R306 Radio will be available in two colors; The Coffee Black and Champagne White and will be available starting Q3 2008.
