One name at Mobile World Congress in Barcelona was creating a storm- the Sony Ericsson Idou. The Sony Ericsson Idou is being termed as the best phone from the Sony Ericsson stable and there is many a comparison to iPhone being made. With the 12-million pixels of imaging resolution and S60 5th edition platform, the excitement for this is handset completely understandable. Without in any way compromising on the user-friendliness, the mobile phone has captured all the best features of a cameraphone and a smartphone and then some more. Sleek Look and Feel: The whole aspect of the Idou speaks of quality and care. The model on display at Mobile World Congress in Barcelona was unfinished and yet there was no mistaking the class of the phone. When held the phone feels lighter than it looks. It looks big but to accommodate such a high-resolution camera, this was but essential. Sony Ericsson Idou feels very similar to Cybershot cameraphones of Sony Ericsson. The model on display was sophisticated black color. The dimensions of Sony Ericsson Idou are 111 x 54 x 15mm. Unlike the XPERIA X1that has a spectrum of buttons under the display, the Sony Ericsson Idou sports a more chic look with three colors. Above the Sony Ericsson Idou's display, we can see a secondary camera that is employed in video calls. An ambience light sensor can be found here too. It can control the degree of brightness in keypad and the display in accordance with the surroundings. Above the display an earphone can also be spotted. The power button in placed on the top part of the phone. A microSD memory card slot, fast port, lock switch and camera buttons such as the image-video alternator, shutter button, volume-zoom rocker, and playback button are seen on the left and the right side respectively. An Evolved Operating System: Sony Ericsson Idou has chosen a Symbian OS over Windows Mobile or Google Android. Though it also uses S60 like Nokia or Samsung, it is very different from the Nokia's S60 UI or Samsung's TouchWiz UI. Breath-taking camera features: The big story is the 12 megapixel of camera resolution but that is not all. A great amount of detailing has gone into the camera while making it. Unique features like the Smile shutter technology can be noted. The smile shutter technology captures the image only if the person is smiling. Other commendable features include a Xenon flash, autofocus, LED flash for video recording, face detection and geo-tagging. The camera comes with a touch focus option. The user just has to touch a place on the screen to focus on it. Auto- rotation is another feature to look forward to. The Xenon flash and LED flash that surround the camera make this model all the more attractive. Other features that should not be missed: A 3.5" touchscreen display with 360x640 pixels of resolution, Bluetooth, HSDPA, DLNA-certified Wi-Fi, microSD memory card slot, USB 2.0 connectivity, an accelerometer (motion sensor), and A-GPS make this phone a perfect package for anyone.
