Sony Ericsson Z530 Cameraphone
Sony Ericsson have announced three new cameraphones, in addition to the Sony Ericsson W300i Walkman phone announced earlier.  The three new cameraphones include the Sony Ericsson K510, K310 and Z530.  Each cameraphone is aimed at the bottom end of the market, and are part of Sony Ericsson's plans to increase its market share by expanding its product range to include low end mobile phones for the first time.
 
That said, although the features of the new cameraphones aren't all that hot, they're still extremely respectable. All are tri-band phones with push email support, and cameras ranging from VGA to 1.3 megapixels.
