Sony Ericsson today announced the launch of the T270 and T280 entry-level mobile phones.

"We have developed two phones that meet the needs of two distinct audiences," said Howard Lewis, Vice President and Head of Entry Level products at Sony Ericsson. "The T270 and T280 build on the appeal of iconic Sony Ericsson phones like the T610. They are good looking and tick all of the right boxes; whether it’s for the business user wanting a compact work phone or the everyday user looking for a classic, stylish camera phone." The T270 and T280 are less than 13mm slim and built using brushed light metal with a glass finish.

The Sony Ericsson T280 features a 1.3MP camera, FM tuner and Bluetooth.

The Sony Ericsson T270 is more business oriented and lacks a camera.

The T270 and T280 will be available in the same colors, Silver on Black and Copper on Silver. They will be available in selected markets from Q1 2008 and will support the following frequencies: T270i - GSM/GPRS 900/1800
T270a - GSM/GPRS 850/1900

T280i - GSM/GPRS 900/1800
T280a - GSM/GPRS 850/1900
