Ericsson touts new cell phone

JAKARTA (JP): Swedish cellular phonemaker Ericsson Indonesia launched on Tuesday its latest cell phone model, the T28s.

Company director for consumer products Susanto Sosilo said the new dual band cellular phone was designed for those who were willing to pay "for a sophisticated phone that appeals to their emotions".

"Indonesia is a lucrative market. That's why we chose it as the first country to market the T28s," he said.

The T28s comes in four colors with a range of new features and functions, including games, voice dialing and answering, vibrator alert, active flip and an ability to detect a fake battery and charger. (cst)
