Sony Ericsson’s long-waited Walkman-branded smartphones has been approved by the FCC. It’s been a while from their announcement, and I hope that two smartphones will hit the US stores soon.
The W950i brings 4 GB of storage, the Symbian OS UIQ 3 user interface, high-speed connectivity options (3G), music control keys and Sony Ericsson’s famous jogdial. The phone can even work without the SIM card, allowing you to listen to the music while you’re in the airplane (for instance). On the other hand, I suppose that W958c is the W950i without 3G support (Sony Ericsson already used this strategy for its M600i / M608c combination).
Anyway, both Sony Ericsson W950i and W958c are great additions to the Symbian ecosystem and, again, I’m looking forward to see them in action.

Dusan has been using smartphones since their introduction and is now following the latest trends in the industry. The "convergence" is what he's most excited about, and writing about it is the next logical thing to do. He thinks that using a smartphone is what everyone who cares about their time should do.
In addition to his interests in mobile phones, Dusan also loves to experiment with the latest web and mobile 2.0 services. The idea of accessing and managing your information from any device no matter where you are simply amazes him. Whether it's an online to-do list, note taking service or a video sharing social network, he's there to try it out. He admits though, he's still searching for the ultimate web-based organizational tool, which "sings" perfectly with the mobile PIM application.
Dusan used to run SymbianWatch.com which later became part of IntoMobile. He lives in Serbia, South-East Europe, from where he edits the site on a daily basis.
