W43S from Sony Ericsson

The W43S from Sony Ericsson is a mish-mash of design and functionality. On one hand it has a rather large 2.7" screen with a resolution of 240 x 432, but on the other hand it contains technology also used in Sony's BRAVIA series of LCD TVs to enhance the screen's contrast.

Indeed, Osaifu Keitai is also supported, as is "QUICPay," a new credit service created specifically more mobile phones.

You won't find One-Seg support on this handset, but you will find 12 LED lamps on its body that are displayed in different patterns depending on incoming phone calls and music that the phone is currently playing. It also has an integrated light sensor so the LEDs will act as soft lighting when the phone is being recharged in a dark place. New light patterns can even be downloaded from Sony Ericsson.

There's LISMO support, a Memory Stick PRO Duo slot (for cards as large as 4GB), the Yamaha sound chipset, and a "Music Controller with Mic" remote controller included in the package.
