Ever wanted a cell phone that could play music for a long time, but did not know where to get it? Sony Ericsson heard ya. And that's why they have announced the new Sony Ericsson W42S Walkman phone with a mind-numbing 30 hours of music playback time. The phone comes in a sleek slider form factor, and has a 1.3 megapixel camera.
Soon to hit Japan with KDDI's CDMA 1X WIN networks, the W42S includes 1GB of integrated memory and is fully compatible with the Listen Mobile Service (LISMO). Equipped with a special chip, power consumption during music playback is vastly reduced - so if you use the phone mostly as a digital music player, Sony Ericsson claims a maximum life of 30 hours on a full recharge.
The Walkman Sony Ericsson W42S can also take in a Memory Stick PRO Duo (up to 2GB) to expand on the available 1GB of memory. The music player on the phone has a colorful interface. Music management software for the PC is bundled with the phone. The phone additionally includes an Electronic Program Guide (EPG) function - especially useful if you are a TV junkie like me. I'm sad it is only available in Japan at moment :( I want one!.
