Buying and listening to music with mobile phones is now one of the most popular multimedia applications, and exclusive music phones are in big demand. The new Sony Ericsson V630i music phone is now exclusively available to Vodafone customers. This new multimedia UMTS model for Vodafone customers only incorporates a first-rate MP3 player for excellent quality playback. Not only does the candybar Sony Ericsson V630i incorporate music technology, it also has a 2 megapixel camera and many other attractive UMTS-based services.

The new, exclusive Vodafone live! Sony Ericsson V630i UMTS phone actually looks very much like a portable music player. It comes in an unostentatious candybar design with the main music player functions on the front. There are start, stop, pause and skip buttons for convenient MP3 player operation. The Sony Ericsson V630i is also a stylish accessory. It comes in 'vibrant black' with eye-catching orange MP3 player buttons at the front and speakers at the back.

The entire music programme can be started at the touch of a button and Vodafone Music Downloads are a big hit with users. One of the practical features is that the integrated MP3 player in the Sony Ericsson V630i can be operated independently of the other phone functions. It's easy to text messages, surf on the Vodafone live! portal and listen to music at the same time on most flights because you can switch off the phone's mobile reception while you're in the air. The UMTS phone comes with a stereo headset and a 256 MB memory card so that users can listen to an extensive collection of songs or add to the existing collection from Vodafone MusicDownloads while they're out and about.

The Sony Ericsson V630i music phone is now available from the Vodafone shops and via the Internet. Without a contract, the phone costs EUR 449.50.
