"Sony Ericsson Camera Flash MXE-60"

For those who use their phones as their main digital cameras, they will know by now that their phone's flash-lights (acting as camera flash) are not very powerful. Usually, a flash light only makes a picture 2-3 times brighter. But a real flash, can make it up to 10 times brighter. This is why Sony Ericsson have developed the MXE-60, which connects to any fast-port Sony Ericsson recent phone and functions as a strong flash support to the camera. The accessory is automatically recognized by the phones, it's plug-n-play.

The MXE-60 comes with a neck strap that makes it easy to carry it around your neck. Do not make the mistake though to connect your phone in the MXE-60 and put it around your neck too, because your phone will likely fall to the floor because of the weight. The neck strap is for use only with the MXE-60. Also, about 10 flashes with the accessory will strip you off battery life about 5-8%. So, only use it when you truly need it.

Overall, this is a very useful accessory, especially if your Sony Ericsson fast-port phone doesn't have a flash light at all. At just $20 it's a steal! Check below for our findings, when we tested it along our W810i.
