Sony Ericsson is adding some new music phones to its line-up soon, with the introduction of the skinny W880/W888 and the W610 Walkman phones.
The 9.4mm thin W880 is the most anorexic phone yet from the company. It comes with a 1GB Memory Stick Micro that will allow you to store 900 tracks and boasts the now obligatory, 2 megapixel camera. It also comes with Walkman 2.0 software and the Disc2Phone music management software for transferring tunes to and from PCs. The W880 is a UMTS phone and will be the one we see over here, while the W888 is a GSM version for China, without the W880’s video telephony functionality.
The W610 Walkman can store 470 music tracks on the bundled 512MB Memory Stick Micro. It has a similar camera but it also sports some software called TrackID. Just record a clip of a song you just have to know the name of, and off it goes to get you the track name, artist and album.
Both are due out in Q1. Jump now for some pics.-Martin Lynch

does it have a head phone jack??
how hard it is to put a headphone hole in a dam phone!?!?!
i dont want to carry round that clunky adaptor you need on sony phones. i also dont want to use the stock headphones.
"470 music tracks on the bundled 512MB Memory Stick Micro" - have Sony started forcing their artists to restrict their songs to 1 minute so they improve their songs per megabyte ratio?
