Normally if you want a 3G capable mobile phone with web access, email and other features you are looking at spending a few hundred bucks. Typically Sony Ericsson phones are limited to slower than 3G service and tend to be more expensive devices.

The latest Sony Ericsson mobile phone exclusively for AT&T breaks those traditions and is the first Sony Ericsson phone for the U.S. market that features 3G connectivity. The handset is called the Z750a and it will be available in early April for $49.99 after a $100 mail-in rebate.

The phone features a front OLED screen that is hidden behind a mirrored surfacen when not in use. The device is a clamshell design and weighs only 3.9 ounces and measures 3.8 x 1.9 x 0.8 inches. Other features include a 2MP webcam, up to nine hours talk time on GSM and 3.5 hours on UMTS along with a standby time of up to 400 hours GSM and up to 350 hours UMTS.
