Close look at Sony Ericsson W350 and Z555 at CES 2008

The name that will keep popping up over the next few days in the gadget and technology world will be CES 2008, and that is simple because it’s the biggest technology event happening right now.

Wired has had a hands-on with the Sony Ericsson W350 which you can see above, they said that the phone had an ingenious flip cover that added extra controls without extra mechanicals and the W350 featured an FM radio, 1.3-megapixel camera, comes with 512MB of expandable storage and the walkman phone is only 0.3″ thick.

The price will be around $150 unlocked.

This phone is the Sony Ericsson Z555 which looks like a 1970s cigarette case but in fact packs a hidden OLED display under that case and features a basic 1.3 megapixel camera.

Their first impressions were “Bling overload” and “shiny girly look”, the phone comes in at around $180 unlocked.
