Vodafone has launched its VF 527 phone, that was previously only available in black, in four “fun fresh” colours: moss green, mandarin orange, aqua blue and pink.
The GPRS candybar VF 527 comes with a built-in camera, FM radio, MP3 player, Bluetooth and has an external memory card slot.
Priced at £30, Voda is aiming the low-cost devices at “credit crunched” consumers looking for a “stylish” pay as you talk mobile.
“We’ve introduced the Rainbow range after the successful launch of the VF 527 in black and believe that the new colours will appeal to those fashion conscious customers who want a low cost handset that compliments their individual style but is not compromised on features”, says Chris Edwards, head of device management for Vodafone UK.
This is the Vodafone v1605 - a small but feature-rich handset. Push email, 2 megapixel camera, fantastic connectivity, video calling, Bluetooth 2.0, 400Mhz processor and a host of shortcut buttons. Running Windows Mobile 5.0 (Pocket PC) you’ve got stacks of software available to download too.
The v1605 is ready for HSPDA - this is the “3G on steroids” protocol that’s coming to Vodafone and other networks. There is, of course regular 3G capability, then EDGE if you need it and even GPRS too. If that’s not enough for you then you can always use WiFi (802.11b/g) for hooking up to a local hotspot or browsing the internet at home or in your local coffee shop. Quad-band capability also means that the v1605 can not only keep you entertained on flights abroad but also keep you in touch when you land. The usual IR port is also present, as is the mini USB plug for hooking into your PC. Bluetooth 2.0 also comes as part of the deal and will allow your funky bluetooth headsets and car-kits to function as they did with your previous device.
