Sony Ericsson is strengthening its product line-up with the introduction of the J220a, offering a combination of design quality, ease of use with simplified one click menu access, and value that reaches out to a broad range of consumers with basic mobile phone needs for calling and texting. 
Consumers can choose their most familiar menu - either a single icon menu that is visually simple or the popular Sony Ericsson multi-icon menu that gives an at-a-glance overview of all the key functions. The one-click navigation key and icon markings on the navigation key make it simpler and easier to access the most commonly used functions. It has a large storage capacity for phone numbers (up to 500) and SMS (up to 200) and Style-Up covers are available from accessory outlets allow personalization. J220a is available in smooth black or sky blue.
The J220a will appeal to consumers looking for handsets with great design from a trusted brand that are reliable, affordable and simple to use. Each handset has its own appeal and is firmly focused on making voice and text communications as easy as possible with the use of features such as one click navigation, single icon menus and color screens.
"We are continuously expanding the Sony Ericsson offering to a wider range of consumers and customer needs," said Steve Walker, Vice President Product Marketing. "With this launch, even more people that aspire to the Sony Ericsson brand can now afford to own one of our handsets and importantly, they have real choice from a range of phones, all of which are simple to use and beautifully designed."
