This is the second year in a row Sony Ericsson has won, the T610 having won the award for "Best handset, terminal or device" in 2004.
"Since we launched the V800 with Vodafone at the end of 2004 it has set consumer expectations and changed industry views about the next generation of mobile communications," said Husni Al-Assi, General Manager, Sony Ericsson Middle East and Africa. "Everyone at Sony Ericsson is proud and grateful to receive this prominent award. Here in the Middle East, we are now really excited about bringing this product to an even bigger audience with the introduction of the Z800."
The Sony Ericsson V800 was called the first true convergence handset in the world when announced in 2004. It can access 3G services all around the world and is sold in Europe (as V800) and also in Japan (as Vodafone 802SE). Designed to deliver a wide range of services over Vodafone's high-speed mobile network, the V800 offers an unparalleled combination of features in a stylish, compact phone.
V800's features include a 1.3 Megapixel camera for high quality pictures, a big high-resolution colour screen and easy video calls. The V800 also gives great entertainment and is equipped to make the most of the 'Vodafone live!' services, such as streamed live sports pictures and music from the Vodafone live! portal.
