Design and features
What certainly strikes the observer immediately is the particular design of the Sony Ericsson Jalou D&G Edition.

The dimensions are decidedly compact, with a thickness of 18.2 mm and a weight of just 84 grams, considering the clamshell structure. Opening the body reveals the display inside, a 2-inch TFT, capable of displaying up to 256,000 colors. Images are sharp and bright, and are automatically rotated on the screen according to orientation, thanks to the accelerometer. Also inside is the standard alphanumeric keyboard, with keys whose design recalls the sharp shapes. The fashion house's brand can also be found on the headset included in the package.
