Sony Ericsson “Twiggy” Walkman phone strikes a pose
We’re not exactly sure this upcoming handset from Sony Ericsson is deserving of renowned 90lb supermodel’s name — even as a codename — but slender form or not, the SE Twiggy is the star of a new round of live shots. Rumored to have been canceled (and it very well still might be), the Twiggy is a Walkman phone with a thin flip above the keypad common to various Sony Ericsson handsets over the years. In this new iteration, the face of the flip cover is home to a single touch-sensitive play/pause button. Nifty, but we would’ve liked to see forward and back buttons as well of course, as are present on the face of the W350. Beyond that, little is known about the music phone other than the fact that it has a 3.2 megapixel camera on the back. Canceled? Still in the works? It’s hard to care with the Rachael fresh on our minds. Hit the jump for more shots.

WOW, this thing reminds me of my MOTO Startac from back in the day…
ew
Gosh bless Sony Ericsson…they still have that stupid proprietary port…NEWS FLASH – A MUSIC PHONE SHOULD HAVE A STANDARD HEADPHONE PORT!
thats a blast from the past
Awful .
ugly!
No wonder they aren’t doing so well.
Sony Ericcson has chimps designing their phones
That thing is uglier that the LG Voyager.
Bet some people buy it….I like the concept!!! I gave my brother one as a gift but it was made into a cordless phone with a base and answering machine…It looked very business like…I would take it outside and pretend it was a real cordless and look at the peoples reactions….Never thought Walkman in a phone!!!
Byg, where is the Tungsten from HTÇ? Can you dig up some info please? Ty
at&t already has something similar to this thing w350, it sells quite well actually becuase its fifty bucks on a 2yr, or free with a feature of 20 or higher. Its super ugly but is a pretty well made device.
Im guessing the forward back buttons have relocated to the headphone wire. Volume too. Theyll also probably offer a matching stereo bluetooth set with said forward and back buttons.
