Sony Ericsson W8
It`s been a while since I have seen a new walk-man phone from Sony Ericsson. The newest one is the W8 announced Today which is looking very stylish, compact and quite nice. This is the first Walkman phone running the Android OS system and is true if you are thinking that looks like the X8. It`s just that Xperia X8 is not a music phone.

I do not understand why W8 is not running an newer version of Android. Eclair is old now with Froyo and Gingerbread in front. Perhaps due to limited RAM memory which, by the way, they should have raised it up to at least 256 if not 512 MB. Internal memory is also very limited because the Android platform can offer many applications for download and there are still many which can not be installed on the SD card. But if I remember that this phone is made for music in the first place then the hardware and software are OK.
