In compliance of this new era of miniature technology, Sony Ericsson being one of the world’s  top mobile phone manufacturer, has always been fueled with sense of innovative and creativity to venture into this exponentially expanding telecommunication field. Reviewing its progression from the Walkman series until most recently, the Aino series, clearly Sony Ericsson is playing safe in making changes on its product. Although not enough to be termed as “old-school” fashion, yet other mobile phone manufacturers are going way beyond with Motorala AURA and LG Wrist Phone. Having known that breakthrough is needed; Sony Ericsson started its rebellious assault and launches the Xperia Pureness. As the world’s first mobile phone with transparent LCD display, Xperia pureness represents an overlapping communication approach that coalesce the complexity of digital era and essential function of a mobile phone- Talk. Text. Time, while circumventing unnecessary form or function. Pureness reflects the purity of miniature technology – as pure as water, as calm as breeze.

Design

Indeed, the 1.8 inch monochrome TFT transparent display with 176 x 220 pixels resolution is the major attraction of Xperia Pureness. This stunning display allows users to actually see through the screen while viewing their information onscreen, making calls or texting. Considering its transparency feature, the designers are keen enough to include the anti-scratch protective feature on the screen. Undeniable, the Xperia Pureness deserved certain compliments for its futuristic yet novel and most importantly eye-catching appearance. Done with the “transparency” talk, the keypad is also another surprise or perhaps another sort of pureness. Numbers will only appear when the back-light is “on”, giving the four plastic terraces a clean and smooth look. Overall, this typical candybar handset is small, light-wieght (70g), and pocket-friendly. However, in term of usability, there is still much to hesitate. Transparency means colorless. And for that single reason, this handset does not come with a camera. If you are a cyber shoot lover, perhaps you might have to fold this time.

Features

In pursuit of clear transparent display, predictably there is much to be forfeited in term of its features. Reviewing its incredibly short spec list of Xperia Pureness, we are not expecting high-tech stuff but still delighted to get HSPDA and Bluetooth. The Xperia Pureness comes with 88 megabytes internal phone memory and 2 gigabytes media storage memory. The 3G HSPDA connectivity supported by EDGE technology allows user to transfer huge amount of data at a considerably speeding rate. Using either a USB cabled connection or Bluetooth wireless connection, users will surely be amazed by its fast media sharing rate between other compatible mobile devices, laptop or printer. Apart from 3G networks, the Xperia Pureness also works over GSM network 850, 900, 1800, 1900 and automatically switches between networks. Internet browsing of Xperia Pureness is operated by an integrated Access NetFront Internet browser, allowing users to surf their favourite websites and RSS new feed. The Xperia Pureness also supports Microsoft® Exchange ActiveSync™ for automatic e-mail set up and synchronization. This user-friendly emailing interface allows user to create and manage their emails easily.

Xperia Concierge Service

Launched under the royal brand of Xperia, the Xperia Pureness has never comes to a halt in offering privilege royal services for its owners. Introducing Xperia Concierge Service, a service makes exclusively for Pureness users to fulfill their demanding and anticipation towards convenient life-style. Basically, the concierge service works just like a PA. Whether you are in town or abroad, feel free to contact their support teams direct from the support panel on the phone or go directly to the web support page. Under normal circumstances, you can get things done with an Xperia Pureness in hand. For instances, check-in in the airport, booking a table in your favourite restaurant, or maybe a ticket to a concert. Extended charges to renew the services annually are unavoidable, but if you are a person with busy schedules on hand and yet won’t dare to miss any of the precious moments with either yourself or your loved one, the concierge services are just a worthy solution.

Multimedia

The Xperia Pureness comes with a built in media player that supports MP3 and AAC music files. One of the features enables users to sort music tracks by artist, album or composer. Music lovers may also construct playlist with their favourite songs. On top of that, it is also featured with TrackID, a free music recognition service to record short music clip, send to web and receive further details of the track. Other features such as PlayNow music download, FM radio, video playback and Java games are included as well. To enjoy music in wireless mode, users are provided with a wireless around-the-neck IS800 bluetooth earphone.

Conclusion

Personally, the Xperia Pureness has indeed altered the general impression that most people have on Sony Ericsson mobile phone. Beyond respects to the creativeness of mind, usability is always the reality and cruelty part. A mobile phone without camera or even color display, clearly Xperia Pureness isn’t a choice for hi-tech mobile phone followers. But, as mentioned, the Xperia Pureness has an important asset on hold, defined as the “World’s first transparent mobile phone”, surely it has its particular consumer targets, a mobile phone collector or perhaps those that refuse hi-tech element on their mobile phone.
