The Sony Ericsson W800i ships with a 512 megabyte Memory Stick(TM) PRO Duo, allowing it to hold approximately 125 music tracks, or 10-12 full length CDs, from an existing music collection. The device is compatible with industry standard MP3 and AAC music file formats. The W800 also comes with Disk2Phone(TM) software, which enables quick, convenient transfer of music CDs onto the phone via a PC. And, the software makes updating the music collection simple, allowing people to browse, sort, find, transfer and delete music files easily.

The Sony W800i's intuitive interface makes moving between the functionality of phone, camera and music player very easy. The device includes a direct music button that plays, pauses and stops tracks. And, people won't miss calls when listening to music, as the phone ring is played through the stereo headphones. If the person chooses to take the call, the music is paused for the call's duration and resumed after the call is ended. You can also tune into FM radio on the device.

The Sony Ericsson W800i is equipped with a two-megapixel auto-focus camera with an active lens cover and digital still camera interface. The device's Bluetooth(TM) wireless technology enables wireless connectivity with a Bluetooth headset or car kit. And, the W800 comes with embedded games and the ability to download additional games.
