Sony Ericsson W960 and K850i
June 15th 2007 01:16
Sony Ericsson released news about its new W960 Walkman Phone today, which will boast an impressive 8 GB of memory into its 119 gram body. That translates to around 8000 songs on your cell phone, which is around 20,000 minutes of music—more, of course, than you can listen to on one battery charge certainly. Besides being designed for music, the W960 will ship with a 2.6” display that is touch-sensitive and intended to make web browsing a breeze. And since WiFi is included, it will be easy to connect. And then there's the 3.2 megapixel camera, proving that one accessory isn't quite enough for a cell phone anymore, but at least Sony Ericsson is keeping up with trends. Unfortunately the only way the W960 is currently planned to let you use headphones is through a Bluetooth headset. At least one is coming free with the phone, so I guess I should find something new to complain about. Maybe the size of my apartment...
In other, less licit Sony Ericsson news, a Hungarian website has published pics of an in development phone, the K850i Cybershot phone. The K850i centers around a 5 megapixel camera—impressive for a cell phone, no? And if 5 megapixels seems like a bit too much for, say, a pix message of your too cute puppy doing something too cute like chewing on a pair of shoes, the K850i will also include a second camera that snaps message friendly 640 x 480 photos. Unlike the W960 Walkman phone, the K850i doesn't seem to be planned to ship with WiFi, so net connectivity will not be as easy, but you can always take a super nice picture of some else surfing the net. Sony Ericsson has officially kept mum regarding the K850i, but word on the street is that they will announce a release date some time very soon, perhaps during the CeBIT tradeshow. Until then we'll have to make do with the whispers from Hungary.
