Sony Ericsson has launched two entry-level handsets in the Indian market.

 The newly launched handset models ‘R300i’ and ‘R306i’ has been priced between Rs 3,500-5,000.

The company claims that both handsets are designed to deliver a
"credible" radio-listening experience.

The R300i Radio phone includes a VGA camera while the R306i has a 1.3
megapixel camera. However, both phones feature Bluetooth, GPRS and radio
recording.

The unique radio interface and the addition of an AM receiver in the new
handsets show a specific focus on the Indian market especially rural areas and
will help us provide customers with an even better radio and entertainment
experience,” said Sudhin Mathur, general manager, Sony Ericsson Mobile
Communications (India).

Additionally two more models, T270 and T280 were also launched by the
company, but the prices of these handsets were not disclosed.

The company, a joint-venture between Japan's Sony Corp (SNE) and Telefon
AB LM Ericsson (ERIC) saw mobile subscribers grow by over 8.2 million last
month.

All the new phones would be available in the market from January- March
quarter this year.
