Page 1 of 3 There might be a triple-hit of phones announced today from Sony Ericsson, but it's the first that has us excited. And by first, we mean the first Walkman handset to sport a 5-megapixel camera.
The 8GB W902 Walkman phone features "the same superior sound quality as the newly launched W980", which should allow users to listen to music "the way it should be heard: true to original".
An 8GB Memory Stick Micro (M2) stores more than 8,000 songs, assuming they're eAAC+ encoded files.
Sony said the 5-megapixel camera and great video-capturing and sharing capabilities made the W902 "a top-of-the-range device that will make you the envy of your friends".
The W902 Walkman is a UMTS/HSDPA 2100 and EDGE/GSM/GPRS 850/900/1800/1900 phone that will be available in selected markets in Volcanic Black, Wine Red and Earth Green in Q4 of 2008.
Ben Padley, head of the Music Category at Sony Ericsson, said the list of pioneering and innovative features found on Walkman phones continues to be unmatched in the industry.
"Features like the music-recognition application TrackID, SensMe - for matching your mood to the music - and Shake control to change tracks with the flick of your hand, make Walkman phones stand out from the rest," Padley said.
