New Walkman Handset From SonyEricsson

Sony Ericsson has expanded its growing line-up of Walkman phones with the W300, a quad band EDGE clamshell which aims to bring the mobile phone Walkman experience to an even greater market. With the announcement of the W300 Sony Ericsson has now launched a total of seven Walkman phones, targeted at different customer needs and life-style choices. From high-end UMTS models aimed at users who want to enjoy over-the-air downloads, high-speed email and internet connectivity to models targeting more casual music listeners such as the W600 and W800, Sony Ericsson aims to create a Walkman mobile phone for everyone, everywhere.

The W300 Walkman phone, which supports both MP3 and AAC music files, offers up to 30 hours of music listening. The user experience is enhanced by direct music keys, shuffle function, as well as an in-built FM radio with RDS and flight mode. Disc2Phone software supplied with the phone, allows users to easily transfer their favourite CDs to their mobile phone and enjoy them anywhere, anytime without missing a call.

The W300 is shipped with removable 256MB Memory Stick Micro, expandable to 1GB, as well as a stereo headset, USB cable and music management software. The monochrome 1" sub display on the outside of the clamshell allows users to view media player information or caller display without opening the phone.

The W300 is equipped with EDGE Class 10 technology.

The Sony Ericsson W300 starts shipping in Q2 2006."
