Sony Ericsson W890i hits the FCC

We’ve already seen plenty of preview-pics of Sony Ericsson (NYSE: SNE)’s new Walkman phone, so it isn’t really surprising to see the Sony Ericsson W890i pop up on the FCC website. Still, it’s good to finally see this sleek, slim (12mm thin, to be exact) musicphone get the green-light from the US regulatory agency.
We know the Sony Ericsson W890i will be rocking a quad-band GSM (850/900/1800/1900Mhz) radio with UMTS on the Euro-friendly 2100Mhz band. And, seeing as how this SE W890i is part of Sony Ericsson’s music-oriented lineup, the W890i will be packing Bluetooth 2.0 with A2DP (for rockin’ out on wireless headphones), TrackID (to help you identify songs based on their audio-fingerprint), SensMe (for mood-based playlist creation), FM radio (with RDS), and a Memory Stick Micro card slot to expand storage.
There’s also a 3.2 megapixel camera and a front-facing video-call camera on the Sony Ericsson W890i Walkman Phone. You can be sure that the main-shooter on this handset won’t be up to CyberShot standards, but at least you won’t be left wanting for a decent camera when you need it.
Of course, standard 3.5mm headphone jack and USB ports are not going to make it into this little beauty.

You gotta give SE props for the construction of this bad boy…looks like it will be covered in metal all around like the W880 before it. Other companies should take note – -
I’m excited to see this phone in the U.S., but it has been pulled from Sony’s US website.
Doesn’t seem to make sense…as it is still on the UK site.
