I’m digging this incarnation of the Walkman phone. It’s not my dream phone, by any stretch, but this one seems to have a bit more panache than the abortion that hit the streets last year—can you believe we have to say "last year" now? Ultimately, I think this is way we’re headed in terms of convergence devices and SE seems to be on the ball.
This versions suppoers Quadband and EDGE and has 20MB of storage, a considerable drop from the original version. No FM tuner, apparently, and it comes with a 512MB MemoryStick. It’s available this quarter. Maybe they’re trying to streamline it or maybe all the EDGE support took up precious cubic centimeters.
Would have bought the orignal w800 but it lacked the 850 band. Would have bought the w600, but that lacked expandable memory (and autofocus). This has both. Yay.
However you’d think this would be more of an upgrade! I have the W800 and the only thing wrong is it doesnt have edge. Now they take away the radio (im sorry, but I like to listen to it on the way to work).
