Sony Ericsson W508 Walkman hands-on

Also on-hand -- and in -- tonight was Sony Ericsson's newest Walkman set, the W508. This clamshell, which is a bit of a departure for Walkman devices, features quad-band GSM and single-band HSDPA, and a W508a variant that has quad-band GSM and triple-band HSDPA for our shores. Other notables include a 3.2 megapixel camera, Bluetooth, video calling, and Exchange Activesync for some enterprise mail access. Engadget Mobile has a gallery up, so feel free to wander over and browse.

It's a Sony Ericsson.

This looks like a RAZR.

Clamshell phones have recently started to look outdated for some reason.

Yeah I just realised that. Maybe its because of the touch phones...

A Motorola Lookalike!
Bleugh!

I'm still a big fan of the clamshell. Too bad HSDPA is rarely supported by the carriers.... at least on a handset. Anyway, you can read my review here:
