Sony Ericsson announces Walkman W660

Sony Ericsson’s new Walkman phone, the W660, features 3G connectivity and a tactile finish in either record black and rose red.

The company has also launched the MPS-75 speakers, which snap-on to the handset so that tracks stored on the device can be played out loud.

The phone includes TrackID, which identifies pieces of music, and up to 470 full-length songs can be stored on the 512MB Memory Stick Micro which comes with the phone.

The W660 also features a 2.0 megapixel camera and Picture Blogging capability, which allows photos to be taken and uploaded instantly to a personal blog site.

Both the handset and the Snap-on speakers will be available later in 2007.
