Sony Ericsson have finally announced the W880i

Sony Ericsson have finally announced the W880i (codenamed ‘Ai’) Walkman handset, after months of speculation. Sony Ericsson first confirmed the W880i at the beginning of January, but until today the final specifications of the device have been kept behind very tight lips. In London today all the details were spilled: a 9.4mm thin 3G Walkman handset with a 2mpx digital camera, 1GB Memory Stick Micro, stainless steel finish, and much more.

The thinnest Walkman handset to date, the 9.4mm profile will definitely rival other super-slim handsets on the market. The stainless steel finish (available in black or silver) on the W880i gives it a touch of class, while the orange hints to the W880i’s fun side: the multimedia functionality.

The W880i makes an impressive start with a 262,144 colour TFT LCD with a 240 x 320 (QVGA) pixel resolution.

At just 9.4mm thin, the W880/W888 is the slimmest Sony Ericsson phone yet and combines the full Walkman phone experience with a device that fits easily into your pocket. The 1GB Memory Stick Micro provided in-box gives you room to store up to 900 full length tracks*, whilst the host of innovative music applications (such as Walkman Player 2.0 Disc2Phone) make it easy to get music onto your phone in the first place search through play lists once its there. All of this, plus a 2.0 megapixel camera, is packed into a UMTS phone that’s as slim as a standard CD case.
