Cingular has just launched the Sony Ericsson W300i, the first clamshell style Walkman phone.

Like other Walkman phones, the W300i sports a music player, stereo headphones and desktop music transfer software.

The monochrome 1” sub display on the outside of the clamshell allows users to view media player information or caller display without opening the phone.

The W300 is equipped with EDGE Class 10 technology, to allow quick and easy data transfers and Internet access, as well as Bluetooth™ ideal for sharing data with other Bluetooth-enabled devices.
