That Sony
Ericsson Walkman line-up just keeps growing and growing. Today, SE announces their
8th Walkman phone, the W700. Said to appeal to "lovers of
classic and discreet design," the W700i throws-down tri-band GSM/GPRS 900/1800/1900, Bluetooth 2.0, FM radio, a 2
megapixel cam, and ships with 256MB of Memory Stick Pro Duo'in storage. Expect these to ship in Q2 nought-six in both
"titanium gold" and "smooth white." Hey, wait a second, other than being gold and shipping with a
256MB (not 512) MS Pro Duo card, there's nothing to distinguish this Walkman from the
W800i released last year. Hell, it even sports the exact dimensions.
A bit trivial for a full model number change especially when the addition of
EDGE, an
extra GSM band, and new controls only warranted a 10-point bump.
