Sony Ericsson have announced the release of another new Walkman phone, the Sony Ericsson W700. Designed to supersede last year’s W800i, the W700 is the 8th Walkman phone from Sony Ericsson, and comes in a fetching titanium finish. The release date of the Sony Ericsson W700 is the second quarter of 2006.

The W700 comes with 2 megapixel camera, and can store up to 2GB (or 47 CD’s worth) of tunes using a Memory Stick PRO Duo. It seems to be a very well-specified phone, with a good range of features, each of which will doubtless be up to Sony Ericsson’s very high standard. It’s difficult to see what this phone offers over the old W800i though.

Full details and more pics of the Sony Ericsson W700 after the jump, and you can compare its features with its older brother with our Sony Ericsson W800i review.

Samsung’s amazing new SCH-B600 10 megapixel camera phone is one of those fantastic Korean phones that normally remains just that: a Korean phone, destined for the super-advanced Korean market only. But according to Lee Ki-tae, the head of Samsung’s telecommunications business, the Samsung SCH-B600 isn’t just a technical masterpiece, it’s also aimed at helping the company gain more market share – and that means Europe.

Samsung have announced a 10 megapixel camera phone on the opening day of CeBIT 2006. Maybe I should say that again – a 10 megapixel camera phone! That’s more megapixellage than most digital SLR cameras. But that’s not all. Rather than just relying on the number of megapixels to wow the crowd, Samsung also provide this beast of a mobile phone with a 3x optical zoom (not digital, like most camera phones: optical, meaning it actually works without pixellating your image), flash and 1/2000th of a second shutter speed.

This may be a way of Samsung laughing in the face of Sony’s recently announced 3.2 megapixel CyberShot camera phone. Whatever, if mobile TV is meant to be the mobile gadget extra of the year, no-one told the camera phone makers!
