Sony's W850i Walkman phone
You can't buy it just yet but Sony Ericsson's new W850i Walkman phone looks hot.
Details we've been able to scare up about this tri-band 3G slider phone suggest you'll be able to buy the W850i in black or white and it comes equipped with the latest Walkman 2.0 player.
The player supports MP3, AAC, AAC+ and eAAC+ music format files. A song encoded in the eAAC+ format occupies just over 1MB of space. If the camera comes bundled with the rumoured 1GB Memory Stick PRO Duo card, that's room for 1,000 tracks. If that's not enough, cards of up to 4GB are supported.
The W850i also has a built-in RDS FM Stereo radio and the Walkman 2.0 player features a Track ID application that allows you to record a few seconds of a song and upload it to the Gracenote Mobile MusicID database for identification.
Rounding out the package is a 2-megapixel camera with an LED light, a 2-inch QVGA TFT 260k colour display and Bluetooth 2.0 with A2DP stereo audio so you can use a pair of wireless headphones.

Just where I can buy this item?

I have decided to buy this phone when it comes out, looks awesome! I bought this phone at warehouse123.com for $455. You will be surprise that it is smaller than what you see in pictures. The cheap plastic looks and feels you saw in photos are gone when you see the real phone. As usual, the menu and themes are beautiful and the camera gives good photos enough for picture messaging. Walkman 2.0 player is great. Plays mp3, aac, mp4, m4a and more ... What's most interesting is the ability to display album art and playing m4a files. What else can u ask for from a phone? :)
