However, what we will see in this article is based on the original version.

Design

Sony Ericsson Jalou has very unique design. At the first time you see Jalou, you’ll feel that it is obviously look like a jewel, not only by the diamond-cut design but also shinny reflective coating. It is so obviously that the design was based on jewelry. On the exterior panel, there is a 1.3 inches external secondary display screen of type monochrome with a resolution of 128 x 36 pixels. It can be use as notifies you of incoming calls, received messages, time and even the song that´s being played. Also you will notice there is a 3.2-megapixel camera located right below the display. Open the fold, you will see the main 2-inch screen is on the upper part of the phone. Although it is small, but still remain displaying colorful can clear image. On the keypad side, the most eye-catching is on the sharply segmented hexagonal control pad. However, the numeric keypad that lies below the navigation seem a little bit too small for men, but would fit most smaller finger women. The overall size of the phone is really impressing. It is small, compact and only measure 73 x 45 x 18.2 mm for the size, it is shorter than credit card when the fold is closed. So it would be very easily slip into even the tightest jeans, not to mention your purse.

Features

To be honestly, the Sony Ericsson Jalao features set is nothing too special, except the application that turn the 2 inches display become a mirror with only one press and something called the Walk Mate. The latter one is the first Sony Ericsson to feature step counter, which telling you exactly how far you´ve walked, just like the distance meter on our car. We don’t sure about this feature, maybe it is another method to measure the calories that burned.  The phone does support 3G and HSDPA connectivity, so it is able to make video calls, email, browse the Web, play Java games, watch YouTube and so on.
In term of multimedia features, Jalao has spot a 3.2-megapixel camera that for image and video capturing on-board too. It has no flash and the quality of picture is fine for taking casual snaps and recording short video clips. To listen music, you can either choose the included FM radio to listen to broadcast music, or the music player that play your MP3 and AAC file. Have to say the sound quality is pretty good. To store your music, movies and photos files, the phone offers only 100MB of on-board memory, so you’ll also need some extra storage spaces. 100MB is to small, but the microSD card slot allows for up to 4GB memory. So don’t need to worry about the memory.

Conclusion

Apparently Sony Ericsson Jalou isn’t for anyone, not even for every women. It is only for those swinger that need a phone that can suits their dress. But you are looking a special gift for your girlfriend or wife birthday, you can choice this rather than a diamond ring.
