The Sony Ericsson T715 is a sophisticated slider phone, at least this is what the company is claiming for its new mobile phone. The compact design fits in a neat and stylish keypad, which comes with large buttons, making calls and texting a whole lot easier.

With 3G connectivity, you’ll be able to make the most of the internet and social networking sites at a decent rate of speed. The 2.2-inch screen has a resolution of 240 x 320 pixels and 16 million colur support.

The T715 supports HSPA and quad-band GSM/EDGE networks and comes with built-in support for Microsoft Exchange ActiveSync. Google maps is also included. The slider has integrated media player and comes with Bluetooth stereo A2DP.

Other than 90MB internal memory, the T715 has a microSD card slot. It will be released in Q3. Along with the phone, Sony Ericsson brings us the VH310 Bluetooth headset.

The new handset measures 91.5 x 48 x 14.9mm, weighs 96.5 grams and incorporates a 2.2 inches TFT QVGA screen with a 240 x 320 pixels resolution and up to 90MB of internal memory. The storage space can be increased with the aid of microSD cards and the battery of the handset lasts up to 10 hours in GSM/GPRS talk mode, or 400 hours in GSM/GPRS standby mode.
