Ordinarily we reserve the reviews section of the Blog for the latest and greatest mobile phones but we do from time to time put a new accessory through its paces to see whether it’s worth your attention. But what exactly is a digital photo frame doing distracting us from our daily duties? Well, because this particular digital photo frame just happens to be made by Sony Ericsson and will play nicely with just about any mobile phone. Intrigued? Read on…

The IDP-100 (that’s the model number) looks every bit as stylish as Sony Ericsson’s mobile phone offerings with a sleek form factor and stylish dark grey finish. And style is one thing this digi frame has in spades. Sitting beneath the display is a touch-sensitive panel, cleverly disguised as part of the frame when not in use, that handles all your navigation and settings. Swipe your finger across the panel and the controls will light up and allow you to navigate and select photos. Want more? Well the Sony Ericsson digital photo frame looks great on any desk or coffee table with the built in stand but use the wall mount (included in the box) and attach the IDP-100 to a flat surface and the frame really looks the part. The mount even swivels so you can display your photos in either landscape or portrait.

On to the screen itself which is a 7 inch WVGA unit with excellent colour reproduction and capable of displaying incredibly sharp and crisp images. And it’s not just the screen itself that’s boosting image quality. The IDP-100 features something called Digital Image Correction (or DIC – not an acronym i would have chosen) that corrects colours and enhances tones and edges to ensure your photos look as good as possible. The frame will also automatically resize your photos to fit the display so you get the maximum size possible.

So, the frame looks the part, as do your photos on the screen, but how do you get them there? Well the IDP-100 photo frame Bluetooth connectivity and 128MB of internal memory meaning you can send your photos from your phone to the frame and store them on the built in memory. It really is that simple; if you’ve ever sent a picture via Bluetooth, you’ll be able to manage sending photos to the frame. Though this is a great addition, rest assured the Sony Ericsson digital photo frame boasts the usual support for M2 card, micro SD, SD, MS Duo and even USB Flash memory meaning you aren’t just limited to your phone pics, you can use your stand alone digital camera too!

With an RRP of £119.99, the Sony Ericsson IDP-100 digital photo frame does come in a tad on the pricey side but if you don’t fancy forking out for your photographic needs, click here to check our range of phones where you can get the IDP-100 absolutely free!
