Another addition with series of “walkman” of the cellphones, Sony Ericsson W660i is a light phone 3G with a 2″ 176×220 display, a camera of 2 megapixel with the development automatic and the flash, visual Bluetooth calling and stereo, MP3 player, a packed up stick of the memory 512MB, a FM radio and any software familiar of multi-media that we saw packed up with many of other “recent packed of many recent “Walkman” handsets.

It’s not really a lot special from the W610i, except that the W660i has 3G. In reality it’s not a lot different from the unique W800i “Walkman” cell phone. It fills a niche for a lightweight and relatively cheap 3G music phone, and it follow the common and in style model of Walkman mono block devices.

Sony Ericsson W660i also has an email client, web browser, RSS reader plus all the standard software that this type of Sony Ericsson cellular phone comes with.

One interesting addition is the optional MPS-75 snap-on speaker set that connects directly to the Fast Port Connector and comes with an integrated FM antenna. The MPS-75 is powered directly by the phone, so no additional cabling is required.

Sony Ericsson W660i Music Phone

Closely related to the Samsung F300, the Samsung F500 is a dual-face multimedia 3G phone with a “multimedia side” and “phone side”. However, the SGH-F500 is much more than a standard music phone.. this handset is designed to play videos and, optionally, receive digital TV broadcasts (according to Samsung).

The Samsung F500 receives digital TV transmissions using the DVB-H standard, as does the Samsung P910 and overdue Nokia N92. We don’t know if there will be a version of the SGH-F500 supporting the rival T-DMB platform, nor do we know if the DVB-H receiver is an add-on or will be included as standard in some F500 variants. (See our writeup on the Nokia N92 for a brief explanation of DVB-H).

Another unusual feature of the SGH-F500 is that it supports the DivX video codec, combined with a built-in audio player. This enables the Samsung F500 to play back MP3, AAC, WMA, DivX, MPEG4,H.264, WMV, WMDRM/MTP, DivX DRM, and OMA DRM media types. Yes, that’s a bit of an alphabet soup.. put it this way, the Samsung F500 is probably the most versatile media player we’ve seen to date.

Perhaps the SGH-F500 can be considered as the follow-on device from the Samsung P900 / P910 models, but it’s a much more elegant design. Samsung have designed the F500 so that it can be placed on a flat surface, rather that the P900/P910 which is a handheld device.
