New W700i Walkman phone in titanium gold

The latest addition to Sony Ericsson’s Walkman phone family, the W700i, will appeal to lovers of classic and discreet design.

Available in subtle titanium gold, the W700i is the eighth walkman phone from Sony Ericsson, and it broadens the appeal of the category to new groups of music listeners. 

Great listening and easy to operate, it combines a top quality music player with a two-megapixel camera plus lots of features for fun and work. It even works with the phone turned-off – great for use on flights.

"The W700i builds on the legacy of the first Walkman phone, the W800i. This phone will appeal to anyone who wants a quality music player in their phone for occasional listening," said Jan Wäreby, corporate executive vice president and head of sales and marketing of Sony Ericsson.

There’s also greater potential to expand the storage capacity. As with all Walkman phones, a Memory Stick PRO Duo is included in the box.

The W700i comes with 256MB – enough to hold six CDs for occasional music listening. But with up to 2GB versions on the market, enough to hold 47 CDs, there is enough music storage available to entertain on even the longest of journeys.

The W700i comes supplied with high quality headset that plugs into a standard connector, so you can connect a favorite headset of your own if you wish.

There is also a full range of plug-in music accessories from small portable speakers to car systems available.

Music management couldn’t be simpler. All the software and cables you need to rip CDs to your PC and transfer them to the phone are included in the box.

The W700i will ship globally during the second quarter and be available in titanium gold. A Smooth white color variant will be available in some markets.
