If you like the look of the Sony Ericsson Xperia Pureness but cant quite bring yourself to part with that much cash then maybe the S312 may be an affordable option.

It is a lightweight, not very expensive phone that has a nice shiny screen which would double as a compact mirror. In other words if you don’t like looking at yourself very often then maybe after all this isn’t for you.

The S312’s keys are large and easily satisfying and makes typing messages a breeze.
Different to the Pureness the S312 has a full colour screen underneath all the shiny glossy stuff and has a straightforward user interface that s easy to get on with.

It has some features though, animated screensavers, it will allow you to play MP3s and listen to an FM radio, sadly there isn’t any standard 3.5mm headphone jack so it’s your old faithful earplugs. To read more on the features of the Sony Ericsson S312 then simply visit asia.cnet.com
