 As a part of the KKDI au Spring 2008 collection, two new Japanese Sony Ericsson phones have been announced. One is the W61s Cyber-shot phone and the other being the W62s, a phone that supports both GSM and CDMA EVDO, so basically it should work all over the world.  W61s is a 5.11 mega pixel Cyber-shot slider phone featuring the 'Exmor' CMOS matrix used by Sony in their line of Alpha D-SLR cameras. This baby also features Sony's 'Smile Shutter' technology for detecting smiles. The phone has a remarkable 800 x 480 pixel display (WVGA) at 2.8 inches - now, that's the way to roll! It'll come in three colour variats; Spectrum Pink, Shadow Black and Prism White.
W62s is a more simple clamshell phone with a less extravagant 2 mega pixel camera and a display with the "mere" resolution of 432 x 240 (WQVGA) pixels, and a 128 x 36 pixel external display. However, this phone supports both GSM networks as well as CDMA EVDO. The design looks quite stunning to me, and also this one will come in three colour variants; Black / Rose, Silver / Leather and White / Lime. -------------------- You can visit my website here, if you want. |

That looks like a gorgeous big screen on the W61S, just right for watching videos.

Oh Japan, how you tease us. For such a nice screen, I'd even cope with the sheer pinkness of it if one landed on my doorstep! (Although if anyone wants to send me one, I'll take black please
 )

one fact about W61s ..
This slider phone features “Exmor” CMOS matrix, the same sensor technology (analog-digital converter) from Sony’s Alpha DSLR

I mis-read it at first and thought that both of them were GSM compatible but it seems it's only the W62

Alright, so when are those things for sale? Even though it's Japan, I'm going to buy one and see what I can do in the U.S with it

Well, they use CDMA and EV-DO rev1, which I believe is what at least one of the US networks uses, so you might be ok.

With Verizon's new open policy perhaps you would be able to use a Japanese CDMA handset in America? Mind you, you would probably loose some of the functionality e.g. video calling, mobile payments, etc. Also, does the handset support English menus?

Even though I only like candybar phones, I'd get the W61s
 scots: I would even learn Japanese for the W61s

Interestingly enough Softbank's recently announced Spring Collection contains a candybar handset!

I woulnt care if I couln't call with the W61, cause it is sooo dammm good anyway. The screen is just nuclear powerful, Even better than the Iphone. Which some people claim that is it "5 years" ahead in technology.
