Gizmodo: W850

Sony Ericsson Releases Limited Edition James Bond K800 and K790

Sony Ericsson's pumping up their upcoming Sony Picture's James Bond flick, Casino Royale, with some limited edition James Bond phones. Despite the fact that these K800s and K790s are old hat and James Bond should be using top-of-the-line gear (Q needs to read Gizmodo more!), they are pretty nice handsets and work on dual-mode UMTS (K800) and tri-band EDGE (K790). The phones will come with some wallpapers, ringtones, and themes all tying in with the new movie.

Of course, the land Her Majesty rules over already has the Sony Ericsson W850, which has 3G video chat for stealthy communications and a music identification feature, which lets you ID a song anywhere just by holding the phone up to it. Now there's a feature that will impress Pussy Galore. And we may have a bit more on the phone later today if you're good boys and girls. – Jason Chen

Sony Ericsson Intros W850 Walkman Slider

The emphasis is on music with the Sony Ericsson W850 Walkman phone, the company's first GSM/UMTS slider. Equipped with the Walkman Player 2.0 which Sony touts as "easier to use," it also includes Gracenote Mobile MusicID, a service that lets you record a few seconds of a song off the built-in FM radio or with its microphone, and then you send that clip to the Gracenote worldwide music database which tells you its title.

There's a 1GB Memory Stick Pro Duo bundled with the phone, and that can be expanded to 4GB. And if you don't have that tune you're looking for on your Memory Stick, you can download it via operator over-the-air music (OTA) download services. There's also a 2-megapixel camera with full horizontal mode. The phone will be available in black or white during Q3 of this year.
