Vodafone are the biggest mobile phone network operator in the UK and have used their weight to secure exclusive rights with the manufacturer Sony Ericsson for three new models. These new additions are all offered in gold coloured casings and branded as Havana Gold editions by the network, they include the Sony Ericsson W910i Havana Gold, Sony Ericsson W880i Havana Gold and the Sony Ericsson V640i Havana Gold.

What is interesting about the new V640i gold is that it has actually been released ahead of the standard colour version which is due to be launched in black very soon, this is the first time this has happened in the mobile phone industry and has a lot of retailers and dealers up in arms as the gold model is exclusive to Vodafone and no other outlets are allowed to sell the device. Ordinarily, the base colour versions of new models are released first to gage an overall consumer interest in the phone, successful models are then launched in different colours to attract different cliental. So to see a colour variant available before the base model has been released is very uncommon indeed.

Aside from the anger of the retailers who cannot market this product, the handset offers some top of the range features and specifications and Vodafone are set to profit from the exclusive revenues generated from sales of this handset.

The Sony V640i Gold offers exactly the same features and specifications as the base Black model but incorporates a beautiful gold casing giving the handset a sense of worth and sophistication. The phone is 3G enabled opening up a world of multimedia and informational services from the mobile internet, users can gain access to the latest news and sports headlines, new movie trailers and pre release music videos as well as download new mobile content such as games, ringtones, music tracks, wallpapers and themes. 3G connections facilitate fast download speeds similar to that of broadband making viewing email attachments and streaming media a quick and pleasurable experience, there is also a dedicated secondary camera for making and receiving video calls where the caller can actually see and hear the person they are conversing with.

The main camera offers 2.0 megapixels with a built-in flash for low light conditions, a digital zoom for close up photography, auto focus for quick, easy and quality picture capture and support for video recording and playback of short video clips.

The Sony V640i Gold is compatible with Vodafones DJ Streaming Service where users can listen to dJs as they work, there is also another feature called VideoDJ which lets the user edit and cut video clips which can then be uploaded direct to their mobile blog, this is also available for still pictures so the user can simply add some text to a photo they have captured and send it directly to their blog so that friends and family can keep up to date with their movements and experiences.

The new Sony Ericsson V640i Gold Edition is a big improvement on the original V630i, the overall design is far sleeker and the features have been expanded to accommodate music and camera lovers alike.
