Sony Ericsson's W51S is all about being square

Yeah- we've seen quite a few Sony Ericsson handset announcements today — heck, the SE joint venture has moved past LG and into fourth place among handset sales recently. These handsets, in other words, just keep cranking out the doors of Sony Ericsson's outsourced plants we suppose. The latest is an more-than-bare-bones W51S that looks mighty square, graphite and retro — but it sports some decent features for an entry-level set. Want a hankering to a recent PowerMac? Then the W51S has you in mind ... except inside — instead of a G5 chip — is a 2 Megapixel cam and a very large 2.7 inch LCD. Pony up the cash for this unit and you'll receive 120MB of internal storage — with expansion provided by Sony's annoying Memory Stick format that proprietary-minded Sony clings to like grim death. Availability? You'll have to go to Japan's KDDI here in a few months. Wanna move across the pond?
