Sony Ericsson Yari Offers Surprises
June 2, 2009 | In: General
The newly unveiled Sony Ericsson Yari may not be the best slider phone you’ve ever laid eyes on, but the Yari does have some tricks up its sleeves.
The 5-megapixel digital camera features a decent auto focus, but the gesture gaming is really what this cell phone is all about. With an optical tracker developed by GestureTek, the Yari is more like a Wii phone than anything else.
