“The W200i is an affordable music phone that compliments your existing MP3 player. It minimises the hassle of carrying lots of devices with you when you’re on the move and provides enough music storage for your current playlist. And if you tire of these, the FM Radio allows you to quickly tune-in to your favourite show,” says Sony Ericsson’s Josh Oxspring.

The new phone has a claimed 18 hours play time between charges. It is available in black or white and comes with a stereo headset (HPM-64) with Bass Reflex technology. Besides the music features, it also has a built-in VGA camera, integrated photo album, HTML web browser and is equipped for push email and PC sync.

And if you want to share the music you can always get your hands on one of Sony Ericsson’s speaker phone docks such as the MPS-60 Portable Speakers or the MDS-70 Home Audio System.

RRP: $299
