Sony Ericsson Xperia Pureness deals

Once in a while, something amazingly novel, innovative or just strikingly handsome appears in the mobile phone scene that refuses to have any equal and comes at a price that will make snobs happy until the next pricey gadget comes along. Nothing is purer, simpler and more snobbish than the Sony Ericsson Xperia Pureness. It is meant to be the simplest of phones that is almost unappealing to match and won’t ever live up to its €600 price tag.

A Phone Like No Other
 
As a premium handset, its snobbish appeal hinges on what by design it doesn’t have more than what it has. For starters, it’s not a smartphone. It has no camera. It has none of those pedestrian microSD memory expansion slots and leaves you to get by with a 2 GB phone memory. It has no WiFi and leaves you with just 3G.   It has no GPS. While it’s starting to sound like cheap entry level handset, the Xperia Pureness is really designed as one of the simplest, lightest and smallest handsets ever made. 
 
It comes in a conventional candybar form measuring 112 x 43 x 13mm with a lightweight 70g and gives the only excuse for being – its display.

So what does €600 get the snobs among mobile phone users? It’s about a radically designed display. You get a monochromatic transparent TFT LCD display that’s only 1.8 inches across with a QVGA resolution under a scratch resistance glass surface. 
 
The display is simply like no other and will not find much reason to be copied by any other maker. You get to see through it.   That’s mostly likely the basis for its name. It’s so pure, it’s transparent. With a lower contrast ratio, you won’t get better legibility than regular LCD screens. But then, legibility is not a design objective when the Sony Ericsson Xperia Pureness got off the drawing board. 
 
So what else do you get for €600? You get 3G on a single band UMTS (2100) with HSPA speeds and a quad band GSM radio with class 10 GPRS/EDGE speeds on 2G. There’s also Bluetooth 2.1 with A2DP with miniUSB 2.0 for local data syncing and transfers.
 
You get stereo FM radio with RDS and an MP3 player with TrackID and nothing else. While it comes preloaded with a NetFront HTML browser that would really benefit from its HSPA speeds, it is doubtful anyone would want to browse on its elegantly designed 1.8-inch screen.
 

You also get a lithium-polymer batter for a generous 8.5 hours of talk time and 250 hours of standby time when fully charged. SAR EU is a high 1.6 watts per kilo.

I am still not convinced that the Sony Ericsson XPERIA Pureness should be considered a mobile phone. Sony Ericsson is officially claiming the device as a work of art instead of a mobile phone.  Well, as long as they provide hardware support for this work of art and keep the price at standard GSM price ranges, then I am fine with whatever label the call. There is not much to be said about this GSM device and its transparent screen, though it defin...
