Vodafone Live Phones Popular

18th August 2003

Europe : A growing number of mobile phone users are keen to use pictures to communicate and to get mobile information in colour. Vodafone Sweden's sales list for July has the two Vodafone live mobiles: the Sony Ericsson T610 and the Sharp GX10I, among its three top-selling phones. In fact, eight of the ten mobile phones on the list now offer their users colour screens.

"We can safely state that the considerable interest shown in the Sony Ericsson T610 is continuing, and that the Sharp GX10i has also climbed high up on the list. One of the main attractions of the Sharp GX10i is that customers can download Java games from the Vodafone live portal," says Tommy Sundström, Vice President of Vodafone Sweden and in charge of Vodafone's retail chain in Sweden.

"Eight of the ten mobile phones on the list have colour interfaces and enable users to communicate in pictures via MMS. July is the month in which we Swedes traditionally send our postcards and take our holiday snaps, and it seems that this has boosted interest in mobile picture communication," comments Tommy Sundström.
