Well, in the Internet eventually appeared early pictures of Sony Ericsson Ellen, our regular readers are familiar with it for a long time. It’s the device for young people with a good set of features of today. This is one of two phones of 2005, in which Sony Ericsson applied its new gaming concept. Everybody is already familiar with the devices, which work in two modes: the phone mode, the camera mode (landscape). In this case the developers made a step forward and added gaming functionality, above the screen are the buttons, which stand for A-B like in game consoles. For the gamers the company provided the support of 3D games, there is an integrated 3D-accelerator.

Like in the S700 the Ellen features Jack Knife mechanism, a version of Rotator with horizontal opening. It’s an attractive fashion solution, there is no auto closer, but a not big device gets open easily. The second feature of the youth design is Style-Up panels, so you can change the look of the phone very quickly. The kit traditionally contains one bright panel and one monotone classic panel.





The phone is equipped with a 1.8” 176x220 262K color TFT screen. For the first time the company added two stereo speakers, besides there is MegaBass function, which becomes standard for all models. If you ask me about an mp3 player in this phone, I’d answer, there is one. But the fact is that the company didn’t installed an expansion slot for memory cards to this modes not to make competition with the K750 and another music device Ophira. There are just 32 MB of memory onboard. The situation with the full mp3 support is like in Sony Ericsson K700. As for the nice details, the phone supports EDGE, Bluetooth, 1.3-megapixel camera, Push to Talk and 40-tones polyphony. Curiously, the device initially should have had a VGA camera and 72-tones polyphony. That’s how the things stand with the functionality. The PC connection runs via USB 2.0 protocol. Content providers will get interested that the Ellen supports OMA DRM Phase 1 in full.

The official announcement will take place soon, the sales will start in early autumn. The price will make up some $300-330, but it will drop to $250 quickly.
