Sony Ericsson hired tennis star Maria Sharapova to present its latest mobile phone, the Sony Ericsson T707. The company did unveil this new model Thursday in Miami. It is said that the Sony Ericsson T707 is packed with light effects and gesture controls.

“The T707 is my ultimate new accessory,” said Maria. “I am always on the go and I need a phone that is easy to use, and of course chic as well! I never miss a call with the eye-catching light effects and personalised pulsation settings and I love the fact that I can just wave my hand to mute a call using the gesture control. I can also use my practical and stylish Bluetooth Headset HBH-PV715 to take my calls, check my emails and blog to my website from the phone. It’s great to have a phone that looks good but also lets me keep up-to-date with everything I need.”
