W660 The Walkman Phones by Sony Ericsson

New Walkman phone announced by Sony Ericsson, the W660, claimed places emphasis on style and feel. The W660 is a classic-design 3G phone available in two distinctive colors, Record Black, and Rose Red.

Like many of the latest Walkman phones, the W660 features TrackID, which helps in identifying the track, the artist, and album that users could not recognize while listening to any music.

The W660 Walkman phone has a finish that stands out amongst its peers. Although the phone places emphasis firmly on design, it is also a full member of our Walkman phone family, able to store several hundred full length songs.

Other key features of the Ericcson W660 Walkman phone include a 2.0-megapixel camera, Picture Blogging capability, and Bluetooth Audio Streaming, which allows users to send music wirelessly from the phone to other compatible devices, such as the Music Bluetooth Receiver MBR-100, or the Stereo Bluetooth Headset HBH- DS970.

The Sony Ericcson W660 phone can store up to 470 full-length songs (in eAAC+ format) on the supplied 512MB Memory Stick Micro (M2), and can deliver RSS feeds straight to the phone's desktop to keep users up-to-date on the latest news and gossip.

Ericsson has also introduced a compact new music accessory, the Snap-On Speakers, MPS-75, which the company claims is a small plug-in speaker unit with excellent sound quality that is powered from the phone.

While the W660 Walkman phone is a UMTS 2100 and GPRS 900/1800/1900 device that will be available in select markets from the second quarter this year, the Snap-On Speakers, MPS-75, will be available globally at around the same time. No word on the pricing as yet.
