Sony Ericsson W800i Walkman

A new mobile music era is born as the Sony Ericsson W800i Walkman phone hits the shelves in Europe.

Friday 12 August, London, sees digital mobile music being taken to the next level as the first in a new family of Walkman phones from Sony Ericsson arrive.

The W800i – a phone that allows people to make calls, listen to music and take great pictures and video anywhere and at any time all with one device.

Hitting the shelves on the 12 August across the EMEA 1) markets, the phone is a stylish deep orange and smooth white handset featuring the familiar Walkman™ logo.

It offers an MP3 player capable of storing up to 125 tracks* of digital music or 10-12 albums to be taken from the user’s CD collection via easy-to-use computer software.

The W800i also boasts a 2 megapixel, autofocus digital camera together in one pocket-sized mobile device.

Also included is Disk2Phone PC software and an USB cable, making it fast and easy to transfer music from CDs to the W800i via a PC (so-called “CD ripping”).

The next addition to the Walkman™ family is the recently announced W550i, which will be available in EMEA markets from the beginning of Q4.

This bright, funky phone is primarily aimed at fun seekers who want to combine digital music, imaging and an authentic games console experience in one easy-to-use product.
