Sony Ericsson's beastly W44S for KDDI au

by Chris Ziegler posted Nov 17th 2006 at 2:01PM

A lot of phones, pictures of phones, and mockups of phones grace our desks in an average week; some leave more of an impression on us than others. Looking at pictures of this W44S from Sony Ericsson left us forever marked with deep feelings of fear, awe, respect, and a genuine hope that we might one day see such immaculate pieces of equipment in our own lands. We're not sure we can put our finger on what did it for us. Was it the glossy exterior, available in your choice of black, silver, or green? The gorgeous, Bravia-branded display? The beefy dual hinge? The digital radio and TV tuners? Seeing how we'll likely never have an opportunity to run our hands across this beauty's softly-sculpted lines, we may never know for sure -- but customer's of Japan's KDDI au can find out when the W44S drops next month.

I might be wrong but one little spec that does not show up since the website is in Japanese is that this phone uses cordless charging. It charges by laying it ontop of this plate and then electro-magnetic field charges the phone through induction. I think this is the phone that I saw a demo of earlier in the year using this new technology.
