7th April 2006 - The latest addition to Sony Ericsson’s
Walkman® phone family, the W700, will appeal to
lovers of classic and discreet design. Available in
subtle Titanium Gold the W700 is the 8th Walkman®
phone from Sony Ericsson, and it broadens the appeal
of the category to new groups of music listeners. Great
listening and easy to operate, it combines a top quality
music player with a 2 Megapixel camera plus lots of
features for fun and work. The Walkman® music player
even works with the phone turned-off – great for
use on flights.
“The W700 builds on the legacy of the first Walkman®
phone, the W800. This phone will appeal to anyone who
wants a quality music player in their phone for occasional
listening,” said Jan Wäreby, Corporate Executive
Vice President, Head of Sale and Marketing, Sony Ericsson.

There’s also greater potential to expand the storage
capacity. As with all Walkman® phones a Memory Stick PRO
Duo is included in the box. The W700 comes with 256MB - enough
to hold 6 CDs for occasional music listening. But with up
to 2GB versions on the market, enough to hold 47 CDs, there
is enough music storage available to entertain on even the
longest of journeys.
W700 comes supplied with high quality headset that plugs
into a standard connector, so you can connect a favourite
headset of your own if you wish. There are also a full range
of plug-in music accessories from small portable speakers
to car systems available.
Music management couldn’t be simpler. All the software
and cables you need to rip CDs to your PC and transfer them
to the phone is included the box.
The W700 will ship globally during Q2 2006 and be available
in Titanium Gold. A Smooth White colour variant will be available
in some markets.
