Sony Ericsson Announces First Walkman Phone

jonknee writes "Sony Ericsson has announced the first in a new line of self-described "Walkman phones" that specialize in playing music. The W800i features a 512MB memory card to store tunes and up to 30 hours of playback (if you keep the phone off, otherwise about half that). We should see a Motorola phone with iTunes onboard within the next two weeks, making March the month of music phones."

    No wireless. Less space than a nomad. Lame.

  2. More Phone Stuff! by geomon · · Score: 4, Funny

    Phones that play music.

    Phones that perform facial recognition.

    Phones that take photos.

    Phones that shoot small caliber rounds.

    Phones that can be tracked by GPS.

    Phones that can extend penis lengths.

    Phones that can make water from wine.

    Phones that introduce you to your new spouse.

    Are there any phones that allow you to talk to someone separated by distances greater than you can shout?

      That'd be a subset of phones that extend penis length.

    How many "all on one" devices do consumers really need?

    The answer is obvious: One.

    First walkman phone eh? You can have music on your regular cell phone RIGHT NOW: Call AT&T's customer support line, say to the operator that you're furious and you wish to complain and talk to her manager, wait till she says "yes Sir, please hold" and enjoy endless music for FREE!
