W800 Preview

I would love a shiny new Sony Ericsson phone. Any one of them really. My problem though is that my current phone (a Sony Ericsson t68i) works just fine. I guess I could use better reception as they’re said to have poor reception due to their not-so-great internal antenna, but who knows if a new phone would even be much better. Anyway, the upcoming W800 Walkman phone by Sony is a nice as hell looking phone, but I don’t really think I could realistically justify the cost of the phone based on the features. A phone with a camera might be cool, but is it really worth upgrading a phone based on that? I mean it’s a 2 megapixel camera which would make it 4 megapixels shy of what my digital camera has. No sense in that. The W800 also comes with a 512MB memory stick you can load up with a bunch of MP3s that can be listened to using either the included headphones or a nifty composite line-out cable you can plug into a home stereo. That’s cool, but my 40 gig iPod does that better by a factor of 80. I’m also not sure if I like the whole orange and white creamsicle case thing they have going on there. Regardless, Club Sony Ericsson has a short preview with a lot of cool pictures so check it out.


maybe the K700i is more my speed...
