Most Sony Ericssons tend to be on the pricey side, but every now and then the company gives us a more affordable model for the masses. Last year it rolled out the W200i, and at CES 2008, the company announced the W350i.
Editors' note:
This preview was first published on our sister site CNET.com. References made to some other products or telcos in this review may not be available or applicable in Asia.
At 10.4mm wide, it sports a design we haven't seen for a while. The keypad is covered by a flap that folds down when you're on a call. The flap not only protects the keypad when it's not in use but it also allows you to get the feel of a flip phone. So in essence, it's a candy-bar handset with flip-phone elements.
But the W350i's design offers another quirk as well. When closed you can access convenient Walkman controls to play your music and shuffle tracks. You also get a choice of four colors: Electric Black, Ice Blue, Hypnotic Black, and Graphic White. Beyond the music player, the feature set is pretty average. There's a 1.3-megapixel camera, Bluetooth, messaging and email, an FM radio, a 262,144-color display, a speakerphone, and personal organizer applications.
The triband (GSM 850/1800/1900) W350i should be available in the second quarter of this year.
