Sony Ericsson W508 Walkman with "Shake and Gesture"

This clamshell, which is a bit of a departure for Walkman devices, features quad-band GSM and single-band HSDPA, and a W508a variant that has quad-band GSM and triple-band HSDPA for our shores. Other notables include a 3.2 megapixel camera, Bluetooth, video calling, and Exchange Activesync for some enterprise mail access. 

In addition to Sony Ericsson's Walkman features SensMe and TrackID, the W508 also includes "Shake and Gesture" control that allows users to skip tracks with a flick of the hand or move the hand above to mute an incoming call or put the alarm clock on snooze without touching it. The W508 offers changeable Style-Up covers, so that users can change the mobile phone with their moods. It also has a 3.2 megapixel camera, HSDPA and 1GB M2 card.

The handset itself is a pretty standard flip, the keys are definitely not our favorite, but the screen is pure glory, job well done SE. The W508 is shipping in both Metal Grey and Poetic White with 4 sets of Style-up covers per color choice some time in Q2 2009.
