When the W960i was first officially announced, Sony Ericsson also stated that it will include a Bluetooth Headset together with a stereo handsfree wired headset.

Bluetooth headset removed from the Sony Ericsson W960i sales package?

Now, according to the two documents we have from the Sony Ericsson Developer World website, the Swedish-Japanese handset maker will remove the Bluetooth headset from the W960i sales package.

I’m not sure whether to classify this as a good or a bad news. On one hand it’s a shame we won’t get the Bluetooth headset with the Walkman phone. On the other hand, removal of the Bluetooth handset from the package should make the W960i more affordable. Not to forget that many of us already have Bluetooth headsets and that we actually don’t need another pair.

We’ve still no official confirmation from Sony Ericsson, but in the meantime I’m curious to hear what you folks think about it. Like it or not?

    All depends on the new price really. SE HAS to make it competitive with the N95/N82 + 8GB IMO. So 550 Euro MAX.

    I think that throwing in a BT headset is a good way to move some phones, especially since their flagship is only marginally better than the N81 and not even close to the N95 8GB.

    They already lost the 5MP battle to Nokia, and now it seems they wish to lose the flagship battle as well.

    I personally think they can’t charge more than 450 Euros for this. I mean, they can’t charge more than the N95 8GB!!
