What's New For Back To School
It’s hard to imagine any more functions being crammed into cell
phones,
but hey, if it makes life easier, more interesting and more
fun, I say “brrrrrring it on!”
Sony
Ericsson T237
It has multimedia
messaging, e-mail,
real music polyphonic
ringtones and the
capability to download
games from the Web
to your phone. You
can also attach a
CommuniCam™ mobile
camera, take your
picture and send. And,
when a call comes in,
you can make a picture
of that person
appear in your screen.
