Apparently Sony Ericsson has launched the Havana range in a trio of golden handsets exclusive to Vodafone. The Havana trio will include gold variants of W880 & W910, and a new device called V640 with HSDPA.
All three phones will be aimed at the music market as part of Vodafone’s MusicStation service (unlimited download of songs for £1.99 a week).
It seems weird that this V640 is music oriented, yet not a Walkman phone. Anyhow, it can support up to 4 GB memory cards and has a dedicated music key (now what’s up with that??). Furthermore it has TrackID and a FM radio. The 2 megapixel camera with 4x digital zoom has got no auto focus. It will also be available in a black variant.

Well, in one of my earlier posts today I was talking about how all the Sony Ericsson phones got these new colors and such, and now the W660 is going to be available in white, too! So what’s next, Sony Ericsson? A K850 in white, pretty please?
Back to the W660… This color suits it very well, I think, and makes it one of the prettiest Sony Ericsson handsets on the market right now.

It seems like Sony Ericsson loves to give us many color combinations, and sometimes the new ones start appearing after the product announcement. This has been seen with the J220, K550, K810, Z750, S500 and more. Now it’s the W580’s turn to get styled and have a complete makeover. I think this color looks quite good on it, but I’d really like to see maybe a blue/green color variant, that would be cool!

Yesterday I found out that the good PeterKay has posted a review of a W960 prototype unit at Esato forums. It’s got a lot of pictures, a few videos and of course some text with his first impressions after a few days of usage.
To read it, check out this thread, where Peter also answers questions about it. Have fun

JUSTAMP reports that a new Sony Ericsson Walkman phone clamshell will soon be announced (within 5 days, would be my guess, since there’s an announcement coming at the 14th this month). I have no ideas about where Maximus got the pictures from, however this is what he writes:
Well…it looks like we will be seeing a new clamshell Walkman from Sony Ericsson. It appears to be low end judging from the size, look and 1.3 mega pixel camera. It has touch sensitive keys like in that VAIO media player (kinda…) and a relatively large speaker next to the camera. It also has a similar color scheme to the grey W580.
Looks like we’ll have to wait to find out what it is!

At the same time as the new P990 firmware got released, the last firmware update for W950 got out, too. This one is called R6E28 just like the new P990 one, and will fix most bugs from earlier firmware versions. It’s available on SEUS, so go get yours updated now! So far there’s not much information about it, but it’ll come sooner or later, and when it does, this post will get updated.

So, where’s the difference between this phone and the original? Well, it has the “p!nk”-mark on it, and is thereby a P!nk-edition. You could guess that the phone also comes with some stuff from the singer - like songs or videos. Maybe even a theme and pictures? It could also come with the special P!nk-edition Memory Stick Micro M2 card Sony announced some time back. It’s still not announced, as far as I know, so I guess it’s just a rumor, but a bit interesting as it will be the first phone from Sony Ericsson to have swapped the Sony Ericsson-logo and text on the back with the new “I SE (something)” campaign.
