The
Walkman phone's sporty orange trim gets switched out for a classy attempt in gold on
Sony Ericsson's newest rendition, the W660. At a svelte 0.57-inches, the UMTS 2100 and GPRS 900/1800/1900 phone really packs in the goods with Bluetooth 2.0 connectivity, FM radio support, a 2 megapixel camera, web browsing, RSS feeds, and a 512 MB Memory Stick Micro (upgradeable). It has a 2-inch color TFT display and totes random extras like TrackID, a music identification service, and a Picture Blogging function that allows you to send snapshots directly to your personal blog. To top off the lifestyle angle on this phone, Sony Ericsson has embellished the pants offa this one, with the aforementioned gold trim on both glossy color options, Record Black and Rose Red. The Rose Red (geez, what's up with the
cranberry hype?) model jazzes it up a bit more with its floral-themed relief pattern on the backside. For those of you who are more concerned with performance, you'll get up to 6 hours of talk time on GSM, up to 2.5 hours with 3G, or a max of 25 hours of music listening. Expect to peep these newbies in select markets by Q2 of this year.

What compression would you use to get 470 songs into 512MB or are they basing the quality on something like 96kbps? I have alwayss wondered this since Verizon claims that you can fit 1000 songs onto the LG Chocolate with a 1GB micro-sd card and Apple sticks to 1000 songs needing 4GB's.
They're talking about a pretty low bitrate- Apple uses their claim at a realistic 128kbps for "CD quality" music. The others usually do it around 64kbps.
Standard d-pad? Comfortable keys? That's what I'm talking about! Why can't any other new SE phone do the same? (looking at you k850)
I want media player 2 in my k800! Cyber shot cam with walkman music. Why won't they let me pay for it and install it?
