Sony Ericsson has rolled out two new mobile phones in the Indian market. The biggest USP of the new phones is the unbelievable radio-experience they offer.

Dubbed R300 Radio and R306 Radio, users can easily tune-in to their favorite music shows or sports reports, across both AM and FM broadcasts on these devices. The choice is totally yours’, you can either keep the music to yourself by attaching the phones to stereo headphones or alternatively can ‘play it loud’ with the high performance speaker that is built-into the device. A 3D sound enhancement or volume boost that comes with the dedicated Audio Enhancer key on the phones only makes things better.

Whilst the R300 features an integrated VGA camera, R306 comes with a 1.3MP camera. The handsets also include Bluetooth. An optional Bluetooth Headset HBH-PV703 can be bought to accentuate the radio-listening experience further.

R306 Radio opens up into a clamshell with two built-in stereo speakers that face the listener.

Slated for a launch in Q2 of 2008, the Sony Ericsson mobile phones will be available in the price range of Rs 3,500-5,000.

The newly announced phones seem to be best suited for those consumers who do not want to go in for additional media players or get bored of the music stored in their phone’s memory. Moreover, the price surely also seems to be second most attractive factor in these devices.
