Slim T '06 — the slide-open digicam

A 2006 slide-cover slim compact, rebuilt as a live camera. Hold the phone sideways: it opens on the camera's front — slide the metal cover down and it switches on with its start-up chime, then the screen turns to the back: a 2.5-inch LCD that is nearly the whole body, with the T/W rocker, the control pad (flash, lens, timer, view), MENU with five colour modes (Normal, Vivid, Natural, Sepia, B&W), DEL·7M image size and SLIDE·EV. Hold the SHUTTER button under the speaker (or the screen itself) to focus, let go to shoot. The 2006 look: colour that runs hot, crushed blacks, thick sharpening, a flash that washes everything out, and a streak of flare off any bright light. Every shot saves to Photos as DSC0xxxx. Sony T-series style.
