Sony Ericsson enters the mobile music market with the announcement of the W800, the first Walkman mobile phone. It will now be possible to listen to music, handle phone calls and take great pictures and video, all with one device and with no compromise on quality. The Sony Ericsson W800 is the first product to combine a mobile phone with, a high quality digital music player. Sony Ericsson claims that its battery life lasts for up to 30 hours, and the W800 also has a 2 Megapixel camera.

Sony’s world famous Walkman heritage makes the W800 a serious contestant in the digital music player market. The W800 comes with quality stereo headphones and it is compatible with industry standard MP3 and AAC music file formats. The storage capacity is also good as the supplied 0.5 GB Memory Stick Duo provides capacity for around 150 music tracks, or 10-12 full length CDs. The supplied Disk2Phone software enables the quick and convenient transfer of music CDs onto the phone via a PC.

The W800’s intuitive interface makes it a breeze to use the music player and the functionality of the phone, music player and camera are carefully integrated. When listening to music, incoming calls ring through the stereo headphones. If the user chooses to take the call the music is paused for the call. The player and phone can be used independently of each other, so for example the user can switch the phone off for a plane journey while still enjoying the music player.

The W800’s battery will play for 15 hours if the phone is switched on, or up to 30 hours if it isn’t. Although weighing in at less than 100g, the W800 also offers a 2 Megapixel camera complete with autofocus, picture light, active lens cover and digital still camera interface, so great photos can be taken in a variety of conditions.
