If you’re one those self-confessed technophobes that breaks out in hives at the prospect of handling a multimedia smartphone, but are still desperate to take advantage of modern mobile phone communication – then the Sony Ericsson Equinox from T-Mobile USA might just be what your clammy hands need.

Arriving without the related stresses of a newfangled touch-screen interface, or any other potentially confusing features, the olde Equinox (T707) is a relatively simple and accessible handset that’s much more of a standard mobile phone than it is a cutting-edge platform with advanced multimedia elements. But that’s not necessarily a bad thing.
While it lacks a degree of trendy gloss and glitz, the Equinox still supports high-speed 3G connectivity and comes with built-in GPS navigation, a 3.2 mega pixel camera (with video recording), quick access to social network destinations such as YouTube, an integrated FM radio, and Stereo Bluetooth – it even allows users to reject incoming calls or silence an alarm with a simple hand gesture.
“The Sony Ericsson Equinox phone echoes Sony Ericsson’s tradition of style, personalization and multimedia,” enthused Karen Morris, vice president of marketing at Sony Ericsson. “With a host of dynamic features that put the power of personality in your hands, it’s a stunning 3G phone that reflects the mood of each individual user.”
Clearly keen to showcase the Equinox’s aesthetic presence as opposed to its obvious lack of oomph, Sony Ericsson has imbued its latest handset with a range of unique pulsating colour effects that allow users to never miss a call or text and also know exactly who’s calling at a glance.
Set to arrive in Carbon, other contributing features on the Equinox include a 2.2-inch QVGA TFT screen (240 x 320), and network support through GSM, EDGE, 850/900/1800/1900 and HSDPA 2100/1700.
The Sony Ericsson Equinox will be available exclusively through select T-Mobile retail stores and online this coming October 28, and will cost a mere $50 USD when attached to a two-year service agreement.
