Sony Ericsson announced today the all new Z310 clamshell phone. The Z310 is part of a new line of handsets that offer a seamless, semi-transparent finish on the front half that hides all of the display icons beneath the surface.

Z310 features include:

• 128 x 160 Internal, 96 x 64 external displays
• VGA camera
• Triple band/EDGE/GPRS 900/1800/1900
• Bluetooth
• Speakerphone
• Instant Messaging and email capable

The Sony Ericsson Z310 will be available in three colors: Jet Set Black, Blush Bronze and Lush Pink. Since the Z310 will not be offering the 850 MHz frequency used commonly in North America, there is not much of a chance this phone will make it to the U.S.
