Sony Ericsson's W710 Walkman quad-band GSM/EDGE clam for sportos

Sony Ericsson has yet another Walkman phone lined up for Q3 launch with the W710 clam for active types. As such, the W710 features a motion sensor and slew of fitness applications which can be managed from both the internal 176 x 220 TFT and 128 x 128 external STN displays to measure running speed, distance and time, or simply count steps back and forth to the Twinkie source. It ships with a 512MB Memory Stick Micro card (expandable up to 1GB) and features a standard 3.5mm jack, RDS FM radio, 2 megapixel shooter, MusicID service, Bluetooth (A2DP stereo audio not specified), and measure in at about 1-inch thick and 3.6-ounces. And just in case you'll be using it to make calls, it goes quad-band GSM with EDGE support meaning this device is also a US athletic supporter. More snaps after the break.

[Thanks to everyone who sent this in]

yes it does support a2dp since it's basically the same phone as the z710, and wouldn't make sense to make the "z" a2dp and the "w" not. sony ericsson just always forgets some spec bits in their press releases.

hey guys, it DOES have a standard 3.5mm jack! just like almost every other sony ericsson stereo headset, the microphone has a 3.5mm to which you then plug the headphones:

this is probably the first sony ericsson phone that I have been excited about. Looks great and the features are hot. I'd only buy it if it was CDMA, though. Hey SE, maybe make this for au/KDDI 1xWIN? Then import it over here as a Power Vision phone?

In a perfect world. Sigh.
