Sony Ericsson goes sweet on candy bars
Sony Ericsson looks set to continue its success with the Walkman phone series by introducing its fifth music handset, the W950i, on the second day of 3GSM World Congress. This latest 3G-enabled smart phone, which features an onboard 4GB flash drive, Symbian OS and touch screen display, is also designed for Web surfing on-the-go as it comes with an Opera 8.0 browser. Also unveiled at the tradeshow is the K610i, seemingly an upgrade to the K600i and K608i, which the company claims will be one of the smallest and lightest 3G handsets in the market, as well as the entry-level dualband J100i.
Editors' note:
We've added the HBH-DS970 Stereo Bluetooth Headset to Sony Ericsson's product lineup at 3GSM World Congress.
