Sony Ericsson brings in the new W200 Walkman phone - and SE calls it the Walkman phone for everyone. With enough memory to store about four albums, the phone comes bundled with Disc2Phone music management software.

The Sony W200 is equipped with an FM radio receiver for additional entertainment, which lets you store 20 stations of your choice. A dedicated Walkman key is available on the device. By default, you get a 128MB Memory Stick Micro (M2), which is upgradeable to 1GB.

Thrown in along with the Sony W200 is Sony Ericsson's HPM-64 stereo headphone featuring Bass Reflex. There's also a speakerphone for such mundane duties as alarm clock. A disappointing VGA camera apart, it comes with a decent web browser and supports video messaging, push email and PC sync.

The phone supports Java MIDP 2.0, which is good news for mobile gamers. Now if only they upped the 65k color screen to something nicer...

Expect the Sony Ericsson W200 in Q2 2007 in two flavors: a GPRS 900/1800/ 1900MHz compatible model and a GPRS 850/1800/1900MHz compatible model. SE will be offering it in two colors: Rhythm Black and Pulse White.
