Sony Ericsson today announced the W880 Walkman mobile phone8 January 2007 by Olav Hellesų-KnutsenSony Ericsson today shared official photographs of its latest Walkman® phone and the next milestone in the development of the Walkman® phone story Bringing the Walkman brand to the mobile phone has been one of the great success stories in the mobile market. More than 15 million Walkman phones have been sold since the introduction of the first Walkman phone, the W800, in August 2005 and Sony Ericsson is now acknowledged as a leader in mobile music. The W880 has been mentioned before in our discussion forum but Sony Ericsson has not reviled much information about the model. We have reasons to believe that the W800 is a GSM tri-band model with UMTS network support and a large 240x320 display. The W880 will launch within the first half of 2007 when more details will be provided.
And a few unofficial photos:

The top picture resembles an i-pod advert I remember seeing.
ToneyEricsson on Jan 08 2007
Looks very nice!
Xugaa on Jan 08 2007
Woooow
Pouria on Jan 08 2007
What is so innovative about this then? Not much!
fred on Jan 08 2007
Note they don't show the stupid tiny buttons. Did they survive the final design?? I hope not.
@ ToneyEricsson, yep it reminds me of the Ipod Nano advert too.
Apolloa on Jan 08 2007
Looks Great, I think its a Solid Metal Piece, I Hope SE's this Walkman is able to capture video in atleast QVGA Resolution with 30fps.
FahadKhan on Jan 08 2007
nice phone, and i know it will come with 3.2mp,but what i am not so sure of is whether it will be a uiq non touch sreen phone.
kelly on Jan 08 2007
i think that it will not be very good mobile because it´s the first time that sony ericcson produces such a slim mobile... It will propably have some imperfetions that will be overcomed with the production of other sony ericcson slim mobile phones. The perfection demands previously experience...
HaRRy on Jan 08 2007
only one i can say "its wonderfull n go go go SE"
marsuni on Jan 08 2007
all depends how much memory it has.
and if they put an sd slot in it to upgrade capacity
blippa on Jan 08 2007
very eragon........nice dragon
rehamer on Jan 08 2007
If it a has 3.2 Mpix cam and a decent stand by, I gonna buy it. Otherwise.. i'll stick with my beloved k800i.
xrat3d on Jan 08 2007
i hope it will have larger internal memory,longer standby,enhanced camera better than w900..
simon on Jan 08 2007
very eragon........nice dragon
rehamer on Jan 08 2007
IT IS A PRETTY NICE PHONE I, BUT I HOPE IT HAS A PRETTY NICE PRICE.
ITISAPRETTYNICEPHONE on Jan 08 2007
Ooooh sofistication
SE4NICK on Jan 09 2007
Speculation...Only speculation! So et's wait when it comes out to really talk...hat do you think?
Shilling on Jan 09 2007
well...2Mpix camera...
suland on Jan 09 2007
should be 2mpx, as w900i is also 2mpx
unless there's a w910i
anonymous on Jan 09 2007
really nice
ashraf on Jan 09 2007

erika on Jan 09 2007
Give us a proper information so we can think to buy it.
cyrus on Jan 09 2007
nice!
jack77777 on Jan 09 2007
The keyboard is HORRIBLE
Raptor46 on Jan 10 2007
SonyEricsson has experience in producing slim phones - as Ericsson it Was R320 and T28s...
BTW Sony Will NOT implement SD memory card slot because it has it's OWN standard - MemoryStick. That's SONY's patented memory card so forget about SD slot.
Best Regards!

MuiskyMXA on Jan 10 2007
for the guy above who doesnt look at pictures too well... you asked or mentioned if it has a SD slot... theres a clear picture of where it shows an M2 slot...
ECS on Jan 10 2007
Its a neat device... but is nothing compared with the apple iphone...
Modesto on Jan 11 2007
horroroso,despues de ver el iphone de apple,sonyericson va a tener que trabajar muy duro por que la competencia apenas comienza.
it looks horrible,after the launch of apple's iphone S.E will have to work very hard 'cause the war is just beggins,
captain on Jan 11 2007
i hope it has the camera features of a K800 ang the walkman function ok a W850 ^_^
mangjose on Jan 11 2007
its slim for W series
slim on Jan 11 2007
who cares about the iPhone it's ugly, and non original
who the freeg makes such a big deal about the iPHONE?
LG already has a design likethe iPhone and touch screen,
APple is a little late in the game.
opa on Jan 11 2007
IT`S NOT A GOOD PHONE. I DON`T LIKE IT
AVROL on Jan 12 2007
Well the phone looks ok but not so strong and might easily break it.
spooky on Jan 12 2007
load of shit!!!
on Jan 12 2007
shit!!! so slim....but i like my mobile...W600
skywalker on Jan 12 2007
The connector is actually on the side. Interesting.
Residentevil on Jan 12 2007

koby on Jan 12 2007
i have k750i its the best
sako on Jan 12 2007
looks like there trying to copy da D900, i think this looks better coz its got video callin. need some info on it tho!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
rondezee on Jan 13 2007
Looks interesting but I go for K800i.
Anthony on Jan 13 2007
rondezee, how are they trying to copy the d900? they look no where near the same
dandrinan on Jan 13 2007
luks ok but prefer my phone - w900
daman on Jan 13 2007
@PeterMmX,
You are right about the memory for this phone being M2, but otherwise you argument is not correct. Some of the new Sony Laptops do also take SD cards and Memory Sticks and the new VGN-UX-1XN supports both Compact Flash and Memory Stick Duo.
If this is not a UIQ3 smart phone I may well buy this as long as I can Sync Outlook for all my contacts I never text and very rarely have to dial new numbers and I like it especially now 2GB M2's are available but just for Voice calls and Music.

Dogmann on Jan 14 2007
very nice design, a best addition to walkman product line, we are eagerly waiting for it.
Nishaj on Jan 14 2007
Blademobile by Sony Ericsson? Nice!!!!!
Norbee on Jan 14 2007
Its good but the keys area is not upto the mark and finishing is just so so. if W880i doesnt have 2 MP camera and 512MB memory then its totally fail from ma side.I hope it ll contain all these features. otherwise its good to have slim W series:)
Junaid on Jan 15 2007
It is verrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrry nice, but all the feature is not available at the moment. so to say any thing about the phone will be in advance.
ShahSawarKhanUSAIDBe on Jan 15 2007
Good one !!!!!
SHAJILPATHIKKAL on Jan 15 2007
the keypad looks pretty yuckky. but nice to have a slim walkman phone finally!!
doubt itll have ALL the features because phone companies are unlikely to create a PERECT phone as it will spoil the market for every other model. so, dont get your hopes up ladies and gentlemen...
min on Jan 15 2007
Thats very nice mobile phone i love sony ericsson's products thank you
ludabin on Jan 16 2007

abc on Jan 16 2007

Admitted this phone is one of the nicest phones SE have ever made. compared to mine w550i or the w850 this one is much nicer. i dont think its that ugly. okay the grey version suck but the black one it damn nice. if this one had been a car it would have been a porsche. very stylish. nice with a slim phone from sony ericsson. all the other walkman phones they have made was way to thick.
Treels on Feb 02 2007
Just dont hope its like the Samsung X820. its pretty thin but its a slow piece of junk.
Treels on Feb 02 2007
Holding this phone would feel like holding a MOTOROLA L6/L7... same thickness i guess... Being a fat ass, the keypad would be too small for me to use... i'll skip this one.
