Sony Ericsson has just launched their new W580; a mobile phone that consists of a Walkman® and a pedometer in one – the perfect partner if you’re a fitness fanatic. The phone can store up to 470 full-length songs and can count your steps, the calories you’ve burned and monitor your running or walking speed, distance and time. Another great feature of this phone is the colour change in the phone’s light; when you select the Walkman® the lights will glow bright orange.

The W580 is a slim slider phone (only 14mm thick) and is available in grey or white. In addition to the music and exercise functions, it also contains a 2.0-megapixel camera, an FM Radio and other fun entertainment features.

The phone is expected in the US by the end of summer so should be available in the UK shortly after, estimated price of the model has not yet been announced. Read the full press release on Sony Ericsson’s Website.
