   *  Capture great quality mega pixel images and video
   *  Experience 3D game play
   *  Access the Internet and e-mail

"The W600 is an exciting new product leveraging the heritage of our parent companies and demonstrates the vision when we combined Sony and Ericsson," said Miles Flint, global president of Sony Ericsson Mobile Communications.

"Sony Ericsson led the way with high quality photos from a mobile phone, and now consumers can use their mobile phone to easily access their favorite music any where any time. Like all Sony Ericsson handsets, the W600 is a phone first with superb functionality and easy access to digital content and applications that allow consumers to do more, hear more and experience more," Flint adds.

The W600 is the second in a series of Walkman phones that deliver an open-standard-based digital music player for the mass market combined with a wide variety of key features such as:

   *  easy-to-use software to copy music to the device
   *  ample music storage capacity & long battery life
   *  great sound quality w/ superior headphones and built-in stereo
      speakers
   *  cutting-edge designs
   *  easy connection to other devices via Bluetooth(TM)

"First imaging and gaming, and now adding music to your mobile phone is the wave of the future. With the W600, music lovers won't miss important phone calls. When a call comes in the music player automatically stops and you receive important calls," said Urban Gillstrom president of Sony Ericsson in North America.

"We believe the W600 sets itself apart and will be another 'Wow, I've got to have it!' Sony Ericsson product -- a mobile phone packed with cool features in a compact form," Gillstrom added.

Walkman Phone -- Music On-The-Go Anytime Anywhere

W600 Walkman phone comes packaged with Disc2Phone(R) PC software that enables quick, convenient transfer of music onto the phone via a PC. Accessing music on the handset is quick and easy via hard music buttons that play, pause and stop music tracks.

The W600 handles multiple file formats including MP3 and AAC. Using PC software from Sony CONNECT, downloaded songs and songs copied from CD's can be transferred to the W600.

Keeping a music collection up to date is a breeze. Consumers can easily browse, sort, find, transfer and delete music files. The W600 can store up to ten full length CDs or between 80 and 120 songs depending on bit rate.

With a unique music / flight mode setting that turns off the mobile phone transmitter and the high quality headphones, consumers can listen to music anywhere -- even on an airplane. The W600 will play music for up to 15 hours with the phone on, or 30 hours with the phone in music mode.

Staying Connected

The W600 supports Bluetooth wireless functionality to easily connect other Bluetooth enabled devices such as photo printers and headsets or for peer-to-peer gaming. USB plug and play allows consumers to move images, music, and video easily between a PC and the W600.

Capturing Memories

The W600 has a 1.3 MegaPixel camera, video recorder, picture light, and is as simple to use as a traditional digital camera.

Mobile Entertainment

With the W600 games can be played in both vertical and horizontal mode enhancing the widescreen details which gives the feel of a console gaming experience. The W600 offers an enhanced gaming experience via a 3D graphic engine making game play fast and smooth. A unique five-way navigation key and dedicated A/B gaming buttons provides the feel of traditional gaming. The W600 is pre-installed with 3D versions of Worms(TM) Forts: Under Siege 3D developed by THQ Wireless, Extreme Air Snowboarding(TM) developed by Digital Chocolate and a new multiplayer version of Midway's Gauntlet(TM), developed under license by TKO Software.

The MMC-60 Music Cable can connect the W600 to a stereo Hi-Fi, and the HCA-60 Advanced Car hands-free kit allows music to be played through a car's speakers. Other accessories are available on Sony Ericsson's E-shop.
