Just before CTIA 2007 started, Sony Ericsson announced their new Sony Ericsson W580 Walkman phone. A slider phone with 2 megapixel camera, the W580 is nothing special, but it looks good, should sound good, and is destined for the US market first (hence it’s announcement just prior to CTIA 2007, which is seen as the US’s version of 3GSM).

The W580 was on display at the show, and like Sony Ericsson’s W880i, which was also on display, won wide plaudits for its slimness and overall design.

The company also announced the Sony Ericsson Z750, which their first HSDPA phone for the US. The Z750 is an attractive clamshell phone with mirror-like external finish, 2 megapixel camera and VGA video camera.

Other than the W580 and W880i, though, Sony Ericsson didn’t have anything else exciting on display, but you can see a plethora of piccies and videos after the jump.

Sony Ericsson have announced the new Sony Ericsson W580i Walkman phone.

Another model in Sony Ericsson’s ever-expanding Walkman range, the W580i is first Walkman phone to use the slider form factor.

It’s a mid-range quad-band phone, with 2 megapixel camera, FM radio, 512MB of memory, and email, so offer nothing new, but it does look great, and should please those after a decent music phone.

I’ve just posted a lengthy article wondering whether Sony Ericsson is in decline, as it’s phones’ features are being left behind by its competitors, and the W580i does nothing to address that. That said, it really looks the business, so if looks and great sound-quality are what you’re after, you could do worse.
