The Vodafone Live-Mobile Sony Ericsson T610 Goes Straight to the top of the Sales List


STOCKHOLM, Sweden, June 11, 2003 (PRIMEZONE) -- The Sony Ericsson (Nasdaq:ERICY) T610 is the first Vodafone (NYSE:VOD) live mobile phone to top Vodafone Sweden's sales list for mobile phones. The T610 was launched as part of the Vodafone live offering in May and went straight to the top of the May list.

"There has been a tremendous demand for the T610 since its launch as part of our Vodafone live offering. The Sony Ericsson T610 is a complete and attractively designed cameraphone whose advantageous price seems to appeal to a broad target group of people who are keen to buy a camera- mobile so that they can use photos in their communication," said Tommy Sundstrom, Vice President of Vodafone Sweden and head of Vodafone's chain of stores in Sweden.

"The Live Sony Ericsson T610 phone is the first mobile telephone with a built-in camera to top our sales list. We believe that the interest shown in camera-mobiles and photo communication will continue to grow during the summer, particularly with the holiday season coming up. MMS enables people wherever they may be to share their holiday experiences with friends and family," said Sundstrom.
