Sony Ericsson V800
Release year: 2005
Nice, clamshell but above all UMTS. The first next-generation phone, produced by Sony Ericsson (the first with UMTS technology produced by the company), presents itself to the public with an extremely refined design, decisive lines and an appealing dual color display, of which the internal one has 262k colors, is large and of very high resolution. A phone for the most demanding users, for "tech enthusiasts" and for all those who love technology.
