Walkman phones are already huge hit worldwide and we have seen many models of Walkman phones in different category and price range. Till now, the Walkman models were placed in the higher segment with price > 10000/- Rs, although there was w300i in lesser range, but it was not a major hit. Sony Ericsson has introduced the new model to bridge the gap between these segments, the new W200i.
The model comes in two colors – Pulse White and Rhythm Black with dimensions of 101×44×18 mm and weighs 85 g. From the exterior, the phone looks good with average build quality. It has a Walkman button on the top left hand corner for playing music, like any other phone in the Walkman series. Below this is the slot for memory card, a 128 MB card is shipped along with the phone and those who need more memory, there is provision to accommodate cards upto 1 GB.

The screen has a resolution of 128×160 pixels and supports 65k colors, which is lesser than the other Walkman models. The keypad is good and offers good back light in the dark. One disappointing thing in this model is the Joystick, which is little bit on the harder side.
Other common features include;
* 1000 entry phone book with each entry having 5 options.* SMS, MMS and Email features.* PhotoDJ and MusicDJ for editing photos and music files.* Sound Recorder.* Organizer, Alarm clock and WAP.
The phone has an in-build camera, with resolution 640×480 pixels and 4x zoom feature (VGA cam), plus an ability to record small video clips (in 3gp with a resolution of up to 176×144 pixels). The camera is just average considering the fact that other Walkman series have 2MP cams. The quality is also average.
It also has an in-build media player similar to the ones available in other Walkman series. It also has a radio. Now coming to connectivity, there is no IR and Bluetooth available in this model. This is really surprising for the fact that many of the users now prefers to use bluetooth headsets. This is most crucial let down for this model.
