Hands on: Sony Ericsson W508 Walkman Phone

Sony Ericsson’s latest edition to their Walkman cell phone range is the W508, and Engadget Mobile managed to get hold of one for a hands on look. The new phone has a clamshell design, which is a new direction for Walkman cell phones.

The new handset features single-band HSDPA and quad-band GSM, there is also a W508a model which features and triple-band HSDPA as well as quad-band GSM. Other features include a 3.2 megapixel camera, Exchange Activesync and video calling.

The Sony Ericsson W508 Walkman Phone comes in a choice of two colors, Metal Grey and Poetic White. Some time in Q2 2009, Sony Ericsson will make available 4 sets of Style-up covers per color choice. The handset is just a standard clamshell flip phone, and has nothing that stands out to make it a winner.
