Sony Ericsson has announced the MBW-200, the female version of its MBW-150 Bluetooth watches. Styled specifically for ladies, the MBW-200 is available in three distinct styles: Sparkling Allure, Contemporary Elegance and Evening Classic.

The Sparkling Allure style features a rose gold rim with crystal décor stones and rose gold hands with white fill on the face. The strap is white crocodile leather with a rose gold clasp. The Contemporary Elegance edition features a stainless steel band with a white face, while the Evening Classic sports a black leather band with a black face, perfect for any situation.

The Sony Ericsson MBW-200 wristwatches feature a small monochrome OLED display and connect to your cell phone via Bluetooth. The watch is then able to display your incoming caller ID, as well as alert you to new text messages, emails, and even calendar alarms. A row of dedicated music playback keys also allow the watch to function as a remote control for your music-centric cell phone.

The MBW-200 is designed to only work with Sony Ericsson cell phones, though 3rd parties have developed applications that allow the watches to interface with Windows Mobile and Symbian-powered smartphones, as well. Pricing information for the Sony Ericsson MBW-200 was not released, though availability is planned for Q4 2008.

Sony Ericsson W960 Walkman

Sony Ericsson decided that the 2008 Mobile World Congress was a perfect event to let loose the new W980 Walkman clamshell. This sleek handset features dedicated music keys on the front, as well as a generous color display, offering a complete music experience without opening the handset.

The W980's FM transmitter will allow it to conveniently broadcast tunes to any available FM frequency, perfect for use in your car or at home with any FM radio. 8GB of internal memory and Bluetooth 2.0 with A2DP support for stereo headsets also help make the W980 an impressive music device.

Other features include a 3.2 megapixel camera with video recording and support for Sony Ericsson's PlayNow music store and SensMe mood options. The Access NetFront full HTML web browser is also included, as well as an accelerometer that allows the screen to automatically re-orient when you rotate the phone.

The W980 sports quad-band GSM (850/900/1800/1900MHz) and is planned to be available in Q3 2008. No pricing information has been released yet.
