Sony Ericsson unveils the W830i, K320i and Z558i

The Japanese-Swedish mobile maker today announced three new handsets--the W830i slider, K320i candy bar and Z558i clamshell--for the Asian market. The W830i slider offers a similar design and features as the W850i announced earlier, but sheds the onboard 3G for EDGE support. According to the company, the W830i will be configured out-of-the-box for the PlayNow 3.0 direct music download service which features Sony BMG artists as well as operator over-the-air (OTA) music download services.

The Z558i is the first non-Symbian handset from Sony Ericsson to sport a touchscreen with Chinese, Thai and English text recognition. It also comes with one-touch SMS access, 262K-color screen, a memory expansion slot and 1.3-megapixel camera. Finally, the K320i is a triband model designed for both work and play, with features such as automatic Bluetooth pairing, PC synchronization and support for push email. Also onboard are a camera and media player.

The three new phones are due to roll out in the fourth quarter of 2006 in selected markets. Get the full coverage of the new handsets here.
