Sony Ericsson and KDDI launch Walkman W52S

We knew its coming. However, we were hoping to see the Sony Ericsson (NYSE: SNE) W52S hitting the Western hemisphere. It’s a great device nevertheless and, if we can’t, at least our readers in Japan can enjoy using it.

The W52S looks even sexier than we initially imagined — it comes in two vivid colors, Arpeggio Blue and Pizzicato Pink, and good ol’ Silver. In terms of specs, this slider boasts the large 2.7″ 240×432 high-res high-quality screen (thanks to RealityMAX, Bravia technology), tons of available memory (2GB), a 2 MP camera, an FM transmitter and the M2 memory card slot. The W52S has dimensions of 108×57x22 mm, and weighs 130g. So, it may not be the smallest Walkman phone out there, but it’s certainly one of the most feature-packed. Hopefully, Sony Ericsson will transfer this baby to Europe and the U.S. (via: Gizmodo)
