why does it look fake
it looks like a old s.e forgot which one tho
Posted by goldenface
looks cool in black I think. A low price will ensure this flies out. Specs?
Posted by jcwhite_uk
Keys are from T610. Walkman sticker is from W850i. FAKE
Posted by PeterKay
If thats a new release from
then they are going backwards instead of forward! Must be a fake.......

Looks like it's real ! Because it EXACTLY resembles that of the K700i model !
Posted by PeterKay
looks badly photoshopped, i could've done that!!

You shouldn't jump to conclusions unless you aren't able to read the information on the site.

I suspect the rumours of melinda are true but the pic is photoshopped
Posted by PeterKay
Thats what i meant JC, the pic is badly presented.
Posted by goldenface
Isn't it a Walkman version of a current low end model? K320i or something?

The Image is based on real photos I managed to get.
Unfortunately I may not show those pictures publicly so I re-made the images using the photos that were sent to me.
Melinda wil 99% look like that
It is a k320i based walkman low end
more (en) information on se-nse (linked on frontpage now)

"heute habe ich Bilder eines LowEnd-Walkman-Geräts von Sony Ericsson erhalten. Der Zusender möchte Anonym bleiben und ich habe zugesagt, die Bilder nicht zu zeigen."
Thats what it says on the site, so it is a low end walkman phone.
Posted by PeterKay
@sneff, how much memory does this have?
Posted by goldenface
@sneff. Thanks for the picture. :-) Any idea when this will hit the shelves approx?

Looks very much like a black Nokia 6030 with a walkman branding and Sony Ericsson Navi-pad added in.
Posted by *Jojo*
Still looks like a BLACK - K700 to . . . me mates !
Posted by G-Izzat
the looks are quite good for a low-end phone.
hopefully the internal memory is above 200mb.
Posted by mustafabay
It has to be 256 or 512 if its to be a walkman and no memory slot.
Posted by Red_Rach
Another Joystick phone
Lets hope they can get it to work this time!!!

@PeterKay
I don't think this a phone for seasoned mobile music lovers.
I would say this was the 'first rung on the ladder'.
This is the type of music phone you would buy your young niece/nephew to stop them leaving grubby, snot-laden finger-marks all over your lovely W950i

I know hat you're saying Goldenface, however i would like to see
come up with a better design on a new product whether its low end or high end. I hope the actual phone looks better than that picture.
Posted by shaliron
@PeterKay
I do think the design isn't too great, but most low end phones aren't very pretty anyway. It certainly looks better than the K310, so at least they are going forward.
@*Jojo*
Well the K310 looks very similar to the K700 anyway, so for a phone to be based on it, not much can really change.
And I think that this'll have memory expansion. 15MB is far too little, and adding a decent amount of flash memory is too expensive at this price level.
Posted by Sneff
Specs are the same like k320i - only the memory will be increased (12mb for a walkman would be ridiculous)
It will be released in Q1 07 together with roundabout a dozen other phones in different ranges
Announcement will be pretty soon
Unfortunately no walkman-button on the front, but on the left side will be a button
And if you don't like the front, you'll hate the back side:
camera looks like a bullet hole - no silver surroundings as we normally know it from SE
But I think the front looks pretty nice for a lowrange - the huge display glass which also covers the speakers has a nice look

@Sneff
Thanks for that info. Nice rendering though, I couldn't have done any better myself; it gives us a nice look into what it will finally look like.
So the memory will maybe be 128/256MB, no memory expansion then. OK for a low end then, as long as it is less than the W300.
Posted by Angello
Sneff made a mistake. Melinda has a M2 slot and a 256mb card is added.
Posted by shaliron
@beta-tester
That makes more sense. It is cheaper to do it that way rather than adding non-expandable flash memory to the phone. As I always suspected.
Posted by Angello
And the Walkman button is positioned on the left side of it like on the W900i. Remember?
Posted by shaliron
@beta-tester
So that means that there isn't a play/pause button anymore? The W900 had one on its d-pad, but this one has a joystick.
Posted by Angello
UHH I don't know, because I never seen the proper firmware of this phone. The firmware I#ve seen is the one of the k310i
Posted by Hmyzak_SE
@beta-tester
And what about camera? Will it have megapixel camera or VGA (640x480)?
Posted by Sneff
Hm taking a second, third or even fourth look there is a slight edge at the left side of the picture which might be the memory slot.
OK, my bad
Cam is VGA

Posted by hgautam
The keypad of the K310 is so great to use, fast and easy, why did they changed it in this walkman version???
Posted by shaliron
Umm, I wondered where I'd seen this phone before. I had this sneaking suspicion that I'd seen something just like it before...
And here it is. I actually sketched something that has quite a bit of resemblance to the W200 a while back, no kidding. I think SE owes me royalties now
Posted by goldenface
@shaliron
I think your version looks better
Yours has a d-pad instead of a joystick.

Why thankyou goldenface
I wanted the orange ring to glow orange on mine, and I hope that's what happens on the W200. It'll look gimmicky, yet cool.
