Sony Ericsson has recently launched the latest phone in the C-series family, SE C510 Cyber-shot(TM). The new phone allows easy and intuitive access to Facebook, the world’s most popular social networking site.
The media launch held on Wednesday, 8 Apr 2009, at Bakerzin, Vivo City featured the new Facebook(TM) application on SE C510. As a Facebook(TM) enthusiast, I was certainly not going to miss out the opportunity to play with this phone.
The new Facebook(TM) application allows you to be always “connected” with your Facebook(TM) friends. You can stay updated on their friends’ status directly from their phone’s desktop (standby screen).
Hill and Knowton, PR company of Sony Ericsson, organized a mini Amazing Race in Vivo City. In the game, we were required to take picture with SE C510 and upload it to Facebook(TM). (Warning: Don’t try to do this with your mobile broadband unless you have those unlimited access plan! You won’t want to be shocked when you receive your bill at the end of the month!)
We were divided into 4 groups each containing around 5-7 people. I am in Group 4, the Mighty Bloggers United! Oh yeah! we won the game!!!
Station 1: Giant Hyper Mart
Station 2: Taken with Sony Smile Shutter (TM) Technology
Station 3: SE C905, 8.1 Megapixel camera phone
All the photos taken during the game are of 1 Megapixel quality so as to facilitate quicker upload to the Facebook(TM).
I will be getting a set of SE C510 soon. Stay tuned for the “Unboxing of SE C510” next week.
Existing owners of C510 Cyber-shot(TM) who wish to have the Facebook(TM) application, can contact Sony Ericsson Customer Support at +65 6744 0733.
