The Sony Ericcson Z310i is a small, lightweight design that runs on the 2G network at a bandwidth of GSM 900/1800/1900 all over the planet (except for in the United States where the bandwidth is GSM 850/1800/1900 for those traveling to the U.S. on business). When you are looking for a variety in terms of different ringtones that are available for the Z310i, you have a format choice between MP3, Vibration option, downloadable ringtones, AAC ringtones and a Composition feature so that you can make your own ringtones. The size of this lightweight phone is 87 x 46 x 24.5 mm and it weights just 90 grams.

There is a VGA camera that has a resolution of 640 x 480 pixels. Video recording capabilities are missing in the Z310i which you might not like in the least if you are looking for something that can act as video camera. Those who are simply looking for a phone that has the basic capabilities and a few other added like a good Phonebook and memory capabilities will be happy with the Sony Ericsson Z310i. The internal Phonebook has enough memory that will let you store information in the 1000 x 27 information fields and has a ...
... Photo Call memory to store all of that important information. You might not think that this is a great deal of memory, but this is what you are going to find on most models of mobile phones.

Those who are simply looking for a phone that you can get online with and simply exchange e-mail messages as well as MMS, EMS and SMS Text Messages and keep up with the latest RSS Feeds for the news and world events will find the Sony Ericcson Z310i more than capable. You will be able to see every call that you have gotten/received, those that you missed and those that you had called (up to 30).

Those that are looking for Wireless Local Area Network (WLAN) is not going to be able to find that with the Z310i. This means that you will not have access to a Wi-Fi network because this phone has not been equipped for this. This does not mean that you cannot get online, only that you will need to be patient and wait for the network.

Sony Ericsson W310i comes with Bluetooth capabilities and an external USB port that will allow you to hook other things into your phone or hook it up to your home or laptop computer in order to upload pictures from your phone to your computer or to transfer music clips from your computer to your phone to use as ringtones. Those who like playing games while you are waiting for something are going to find that there are several games that are already pre-loaded into the phone itself. You also have the option of downloading more games to your mobile phone from the Internet.

The power source for the Sony Ericcson Z310i is the good old Lithium-Ion 780 mAh battery that almost every mobile phone is equipped with. This battery will power the phone for close to 300 hours when it is not in use and for 7 solid hours when you are talking to someone.

Sony Ericsson Z310i comes available in three colours: Brush Bronze, Lush Pink and Jetset Black. Those that are looking for a phone with GPS capabilities (because you get lost often) need to look elsewhere because the Sony Ericcson Z310i does not come equipped with GPS tracking.
