Sony Ericsson W508 Walkman hands-on

Also on-hand -- and in -- tonight was Sony Ericsson's newest Walkman set, the W508. This clamshell, which is a bit of a departure for Walkman devices, features quad-band GSM and single-band HSDPA, and a W508a variant that has quad-band GSM and triple-band HSDPA for our shores. Other notables include a 3.2 megapixel camera, Bluetooth, video calling, and Exchange Activesync for some enterprise mail access. The W508 is shipping in both Metal Grey and Poetic White with 4 sets of Style-up covers per color choice some time in Q2 2009. The handset itself is a pretty standard flip, the keys are definitely not our favorite, but the screen is pure glory, job well done SE.

Did anyone else think this was a Motorola RAZR when they first saw the picture? My first thought was there was no way Motorola was releasing another RAZR, and than I saw it was Sony-Ericsson and I thought are they seriously releasing a RAZR knock off?

Nope...my first thought was "way too much TM506 DNA in that thing!"
