Just as we predicted yesterday, Sony Ericsson has made an announcement today introducing their T270 camera phone and the cameraless T280 phones, and a duo of new radio phones, the R300 and R306.

Instead of a camera on the T280, users get a FM radio with RDS station data support. Both which will be available in March.
