Plum Edition of Sony Ericsson K550i Looks Trendy

Sony Ericsson has added some color to its Cybershot line of mobile phones with the release of a Plum Edition of the K550i handset. The new color suits the phone perfectly and makes it look young and bold, although it comes with no additional specification upgrades of any sort.

The Plum Ruby new color is only an apparent upgrade for the Sony Ericsson K550i handset. The phone has the same ups and downs as before, only that it wraps them all in a more stylish case. The new color will be appreciated especially by those fashionable people or just the ladies looking to own a mobile phone that stands out or matches their purse perfectly.

The new Plum color on Sony Ericsson K550i may be nothing more than a shallow make-up that producers have applied on the phone in order to keep it young and attractive, but the handset does look good.
