Sony Ericsson has unveiled four handsets, including the first Walkman branded mobile phone and a Bluetooth media centre.

The W800 Walkman handset features a high quality digital music player with up to 30 hours battery life, and a 2-megapixel camera, the company said.

The device is compatible with the MP3 and AAC music file formats, and comes with a 0.5GB Memory Stick Duo giving it capacity for around 150 music tracks. It also comes with Disk2Phone software to transfer music from CDs onto the phone via a PC.

Users won't miss a call when listening to music, as the ring-tone is played through the stereo headphones, and if owners want to take the call the music is paused for the call's duration, Sony Ericsson said.

The company also unveiled its K750 2-megapixel cameraphone with features including autofocus, 4x digital zoom, red eye reduction and an intuitive user interface. Images can be shared with other devices via Memory Stick Duo, Bluetooth, infrared and USB cable.

The phone, available in the second quarter, has an internal 32MB memory which can hold nearly 100 full size pictures, and comes with a 64MB Memory Stick Duo.

Sony Ericsson also announced its J300 "fun phone" with a 3D gaming engine available in the second quarter of this year, and the K300 cameraphone.

The K300 is available this quarter and features a 65K colour screen and 12MB onboard memory which the company said can store a "sizeable collection" of 120 10-second video clips or 500 VGA images.

The company also gave details of its Bluetooth Media Center MMV-200 which is designed to allow content to be played directly from a Bluetooth-enabled mobile phone on a TV or stereo.

Mobile users can transfer sound files from their phones via Bluetooth and display photos and video clips on the home TV simultaneously.

The MMV-200, available in the second quarter of this year, will also accept memory cards from phones, PCs and digital cameras.
