The Walkman Phone W600i Launched in Canada

Sony-Ericsson and Rogers Wireless are announcing the availability of Canada's first Walkman phone, W600i - the music phone. Just in time for the Holiday Season, SonyStyle are taking pre-orders for the Sony Ericsson W600i walkman spinner.

The W600i includes a 1.3 megapixel camera, Bluetooth wireless connectivity, EDGE capability, and is quad-band, allowing it to be used all over the world. With its 256 megabytes of internal memory, the phone stores up to ten full length CDs or between 80 and 120 songs, depending on the compression rate. The W600i will play music for up to 15 hours with the full function of the phone on, or up to 30 hours with the phone in music mode. The device's USB 2.0 plug and play support lets users move images, music and video between a PC and the Walkman phone.

SonyStyle says the estimated release date is December 14, 2005, and is selling the W600i for about $600 CAD, without a contract and unlocked.
