Sony Ericsson's W850 Walkman tri-band GSM/UMTS slider

by Thomas Ricker, posted May 18th 2006 at 7:56AM

Sony just announced their new W850 Walkman cellphone and this baby's hot. Available in black or white as designs tend to go these days, this tri-band GSM 900/1800/1900 slider also delivers UMTS 2100. It comes pre-loaded with the latest Walkman 2.0 player with TrackID allowing you to lookup and identify recorded music samples via the Gracenote Mobile MusicID service. Not only that, but it ships with a 1GB of Memory Strick PRO Duo'in storage (with up to 4GB supported) and features a horizontal mode 2 megapixel shooter with LED light. Rounding out the features are a 2-inch QVGA TFT 260k color display, RDS FM Stereo radio, and Bluetooth 2.0 with A2DP stereo audio. No price but we can expect these to ship sometime Q3 2006... in Europe. More pics after the break.

This phone looks really neat (although it could do without the LED bar)
I've been looking for a new phone for quite a while now, I might just wait for this one :]

This looks sweet! I think they were trying to go for a iPod nano-esq device. A scroll wheel replacing those buttons, like the nano would of been brilliant.

Sony needs to include bigger storage cards if it wants to be taken as a player in the DMP market. A 2GB card would be nice as to a 1GB card.
