Sony Ericsson launches retro stylin' W350i


Sony Ericsson banged out three new sets today, and one that immediately caught our eye with its Ericsson T39-esque -- with a dash of Z700 -- styled flip. The W350i features a 1.3 megapixel shooter, FM Radio, Bluetooth, 14 MB of internal memory plus a 512 MB Memory Stick Micro, and ships in either Electric black, Ice blue, Hypnotic black, or Graphic white -- we'll let you guess which is which. We can expect a W350a variant, which will include 850 MHz GSM in place of the 900 MHz in the W350i version, so the odds of this landing on our shores looks good. The music controls parked outside the flip are a pretty sweet idea, we're liking what they did with this design and hope that it continues to impress once we get some hands-on time. Of course, if we were forced to nitpick, we might whisper something like: where's the 3G fellas? Handsets are expected to hit retail channels in Q2 2008 though no word on pricing.
