New Walkman Phone from SonyEricsson

SonyEricsson has shown off a new member of its mobile music handsets, the W200. With the W200 Walkman phone you can store up to 37 full length tracks (or about four albums). Simply transfer music from your PC with the Disc2Phone music management software supplied.

"The W200 is an affordable music phone that compliments your existing MP3 player," says Steve Walker, Head of Product Marketing at Sony Ericsson. "It's not everyday that you want to carry lots of devices with you; and with the W200 you have enough music storage for your current playlist. And if you tire of these, the FM Radio allows you to quickly tune-in to your favourite drive-time show."

To make it easy to get to your music, the W200 features a dedicated Walkman key that takes you straight to the Walkman player menu. If you need to share your music with friends then the 128MB Memory Stick Micro lets you do this in an instant. And it is always possible to upgrade to a larger Memory Stick if you need to expand your music library: the 1GB Stick available now will hold up to 255 full-length tracks.

As well as being a music player, the W200 is a fully featured 'multi-media' phone. It features a VGA camera with 4x digital zoom and integrated photo album so that you can capture and store those spontaneous snapshots, or share them with friends and family. It is also fully equipped for video messaging, offers a full HTML web browser and delivers business-friendly tools such as push email & PC synchronisation.

The W200 Walkman phone is a GPRS 900/1800/1900 & GPRS 850/1800/1900 handset and will be available in selected markets from Q2 2007."
