Sony Ericsson announces two new handsets

As if getting everyone all fired up with promises of a Walkman range of phones wasn’t enough, Sony Ericsson also announced two new 3G handsets: the K600i and the Z800i. The Z800i will look familiar to those who know the V800. The phone itself remains pretty much unchanged, except for a rather nice respray. As before, the handset comes with a rotating 1.3-megapixel camera, large screen and Memory Stick slot. The K600i, meanwhile, is a candybar handset, sporting a similar design to Sony Ericsson’s other popular candybars. There’s a 1.3-megapixel camera on board and a music player. As ever, it’s been designed to look like a camera from the back – so you use it horizontally when taking snaps – and a normal phone from the front.
