Product Overview
The R306 was announced today by Sony Ericsson, and it brings plenty of music features to the table. This small clamshell cell phone Sony Ericsson R306 features a built-in AM/FM radio and stereo loudspeakers, so that the whole neighborhood knows you're jamming out.
The R306 offers the ability to record radio broadcasts, though the phone's 5MB of internal memory will run out quickly. But at least you can easily use a snippet of recorded radio as a ringtone, or use Sony Ericsson's Track ID application to get information about a particular music track. The R306's 1.3 megapixel camera also records video, so you'll be able to easily record musical moments as they happen.
