[blek_hrcak]

After days of rumours and pictures the W890 is finally officially announced. In terms of features the handset is positioned in the high-end of Sony Ericsson’s portfolio and boasts 8 Gb of internal memory, HSDPA connectivity and a 3.2 MP camera. A full list of its specifications is presented below.

The handset is quite exciting as it represents the first time Sony Ericsson has released a high-end clamshell handset since the Z1010. It is also notable because it offers much of the same music functionality as the recently released W960 smartphone, but without the smartphone part, which may appeal to those who want the W960’s music capabilities in a non-smartphone package.

Sony Ericsson are currently listing the W890 as being available from Q3 in selected markets. This puts the release time frame somewhere between July and September.
