Like many Sony Ericsson mobile phones, the Yari has a concept behind it. This time around, the concept is an interesting one which has made a lot of headlines in mobile phone news as the Yari looks to combine motion sensor technology with mobile gaming.
Although the Yari is a perfectly serviceable handset, with many of the functions that you would expect from one of the latest mobile phones, where it really stands out is in its gaming capabilities. There are several games preloaded onto the Yari, while others are available for download.
What makes gaming on the Yari different from other new mobile phones, though, is that most of the action is controlled by motion sensors, with the handset needing to be either physically moved or hand gestures made in order to control the action.
Although the Sony Ericsson Yari does offer a lot to those who enjoy gaming on their mobile phones and as a result has a lot of innovative features, the most obvious faults with the handset are what it is lacking.
There is no Wi-Fi connectivity on the Yari, meaning all web connections have to be made via 3G, while there is also confusingly no 3.5 mm headphone output despite the inclusion of a serviceable media player.
The key layout on the Yari also leaves much to be desired, as a loaded QWERTY keyboard along with several short cut buttons will leave the user repeatedly pressing the wrong keys.
