Sony Ericsson have announced their latest Walkman-branded handset, the W508, which utilises the clamshell form factor, which bares resemblance to the company’s W980 handset. Should you grow tired of the W508’s default cover, you can change it, as the W508 ships with an alternative Style-Up cover.

You can navigate throughstored music tracks, through the external music keys, situated below the external screen. It’s set to ship sometime in the next quarter, for an as of yet undisclosed price.
