First off, this is the first Sony Ericsson handset that has more angles to its body than curves.  Yet many find it sexy enough to get into a beeline come end of August when Sony Ericsson starts to release it in the markets.  To be sure, the Jalou has got stunning looks to make it as one of the best looking fashion phone out there.  Who says you need to shows curves to be beautiful?  But is it worth getting one as a mobile phone?

Modesty behind a Great Looker

Sporting a run-of-the-mill 3.2 megapixel camera won’t get you noticed these days.  Neither would an RDS stereo FM radio, Bluetooth with A2DP, 3G or just about any of the mundane features of versatile smartphones we’ve taken for granted.  The Sony Ericsson Jalou is your highly capable regular Sony Ericsson mobile phone in exquisitely styled casing.

There’s a couple of standout features though worth mentioning.  One is its 2.2: QVGA LCD display that with touch of a key becomes a compact mirror.  Nice touch for a fashion phone.  It doesn’t help that its small size can easily be confused with a compact make-up. Then there’s a pioneering touch to make it the first Sony Ericsson handset to sport the WalkMate – a pedometer to count your steps if you want to use it when walking.  But when you think that the women most likely to use a Sony Ericsson Jalou would be wearing high heeled Bruno Magli shoes, you get to wonder how really useful a pedometer is.

Dole & Gabbana dresses it up

It’s not enough you have a great looker of a fashion phone.  There’s a Sony Ericsson Jalou limited edition phone with the famous D&G signature on it and real 24k gold trims on a special rose-coloured body.   It won’t come cheap, of course.  Expect both editions to arrive during the last quarter of the year.  Though we’re hopeful they will late August.
