Supplied with 1 GB of memory and next-gen Walkman software with song recognition, the W850i incorporates a raft of features including 3G, stereo Bluetooth audio, an RDS radio and a 2 Megapixel camera.
Expanding the upper end of its portfolio of Walkman phones, Sony Ericsson today unveiled the W850i music phone, a feature-packed handset which is the maker's first to support stereo Bluetooth audio. Another first is represented by its TrackID feature, which lets users record a few seconds of a song either through its voice recorder or directly from its stereo FM radio with RDS and subsequently sends this online for identification.
Equipped with 3G connectivity and video calling, the W850i also integrates a 2 Megapixel camera which shares the bundled 1 GB Memory Stick PRO Duo card for storage and relies on the 2-inch QVGA display as its viewfinder. USB 2.0 connectivity allows for rapid content transfers, while other notable features include a landscape browser, the ability to record and play back video, and a music illumination feature which pulses the backlight of the handset's keys in rhythm with music being played.
Due to hit store shelves in the third quarter of 2006, Sony Ericsson did not disclose any information concerning the expected pricing of the W850i.

Sony Ericsson W950i
When: September 2006
Read the full article » Retaining the first-class audio quality of previous Walkman phones, the W950i slaps an improved music interface with visual album cover navigation atop a hardware design nearly identical to the M600i, save for its use of a keypad as opposed to a thumbboard - thus negating use as a business phone. Although bested by the 8 GB Samsung SGH-i310, its 4 GB of flash memory should allow for considerably longer battery life - and despite its spacious storage and superb screen, the handset remains ultra-slim at 15 mm thick.
