Although it was announced back in March and we saw it passing the FCC hurdle in June, we had to wait for the end of July to get one. Yes, I’m talking about Sony Ericsson (NYSE: SNE) mid-range Walkman phone – W580.
According to JAMPBLOG, at this stage Sony Ericsson’s slider music phone is available in small and limited quantities and still waits for a global distribution. Initially, the phone was spotted on sale in Hong Kong for roughly $400, which is quite expensive for a mid-range device. My guess is that the price will go bit down when it starts selling in Europe and other places.
In the meantime, hopefully Sony Ericsson will also start shipping the black version as well — not that I don’t like the white W580, it’s just the black one is more sexy.
UPDATE: The Sony Ericsson W580 is now more widely available almost everywhere in Hong Kong. The prices have dropped a bit to $370.


Price down to $307 in HK
price update: $299 unlocked at sonystyle.com or sonystyle stores; $130 with $50 rebate from ATT (locked)
