Sony Ericsson released it’s new Z-series clamshell handset, the Z310. Z310 is the mirror finish clamshell phone along with a front icon display that hidden discretely beneath the surface until a message or call alert is received. The Z310’s display looks relatively sharp for a budget phone, and the flat backlit keypad was easy on our fingertips.

The triband Z310 offers eye-catching coloured light effects that can be color coded for each of the contacts in your phonebook. You can now know who is calling with just a quick glance at the Z310’s flashing outer lights.

It also supports EDGE/GPRS on the 900/1800/1900 GSM frequency bands, and includes a 65k color (128×160 pixel resolution) screen for its main display and a monochrome (96×64 pixel resolution) screen for its external display.

The Z310 isn’t a Walkman phone, so there’s no music player or memory expansion under the phone’s sweet-looking hood. But it provides must-have features for this type of everyday phone: VGA camera, MP3 Music Ringtones, Bluetooth® connectivity, a speakerphone, instant messaging and an e-mail client.

The Z310’s built-in VGA camera with screen viewfinder allows you to take spontaneous snaps and share them with family and friends instantly via Picture Blogging or Picture Messaging (MMS).

The Z310 features predictive text input which is a quite common features in most of the mobile phones. You can write text messages with fewer clicks, and it help to completes a word you’re writing based on previously used text.

The Z310 comes with most of the common and useful organiser applications such as alarm clock, business card exchange, calculator, calendar, file manager, notes, phone book, stopwatch, tasks, timer.

Here are some opinion or reviews picked from infosyncworld.com:

Pros:
Cool transluscent flip with glowing indicator lights beneath; stylish and easy-to-peck keypad

Cons:
So-so feature set; no music abilities

Conclusion:
Fashion conscious chatters will get a kick out of the Z310’s transluscent flip and floating indicator light, and messaging fans will appreciate the phone’s instant messaging and e-mail abilities. Beyond that, this tri-band GSM/EDGE clamshell is a pretty basic handset — and hopefully a free one, once a carrier picks it up.

You can download audio files from CNN and BBC websites too, through podcasting functions. Mobile phone charger this sounds vaguely old-fashioned, but we still believe this is an essential accessory for anyone who travels a lot and talks a lot. Compatible with the removable TransFlash external memory card is enabled too. The Mp3 player is of a good quality and is capable of surfing the Internet with the built in speaker phone for a group discussion over the telephone. Video recording
