Sony Ericsson has expanded its growing line-up of Walkman series with the W300i model.

The new quad band EDGE clamshell aims to bring the mobile phone Walkman experience to an even greater market. Sony Ericsson W300i seems to have the same great Walkman music quality experience as high-end models, a cool design and an integrated camera.

The W300i ships with a 256MB Memory Stick Micro card and features a main TFT display with 128 x 160 resolution and 262K color, and a second 1-inch display with 101 x 80 resolution for viewing track info and caller ID when the flip is closed.

The W300i features dedicated music keys, a shuffle function, flight-mode, USB connectivity, and RDS FM radio. In addition, the phone is equipped with EDGE Class 10 technology, to allow quick and easy data transfers and Internet access, as well as Bluetooth ideal for sharing data with other Bluetooth-enabled devices. The W300i's measure is 90 x 47 x 24 mm, it weighs 94 grams, and offers up to 30 hours of music playback per charge.

The handset will be shipping in Shimmering White and Shadow Black starting Q2.
