This evening, Sony Ericsson unveiled a new Cyber-Shot phone and a new Walkman phone.Both phones have middle-of-the-road feature sets. Both have quad-band GSM/EDGE for worldwide roaming, and each has a variant that also includes tri-band HSDPA in the 850/1900/2100 bands, meaning it will work on AT&T's 3G network in the U.S. Stereo Bluetooth is also on board, as are 3.2 megapixel cameras with flash and video capture, and FM radios.
The C510 Cyber-shot has a neat new feature called Shutter Smile. This clever technology detects a person's smile and immediately takes the photo. It also have the other photo-centric features we've come to expect from Sony Ericsson's Cyber-shot line, such as Face Detection, Photo Fix, and autofocus.
