Sony Ericsson's W950 is the best looking Walkman phone yet

Sony Ericsson's Walkman phones have really come on since the W800. The new W950 looks stunning, and with 4GB storage, it's the real class leader. The phone's touch screen controls are similar to those of Sony's latest digital cameras, so clearly being a global consumer electronics giant rather than just a mobile phone manufacturer is paying dividends for Sony.

Pictures of this great looking phone, as well as more details, can be found here:

Does anyone know if this phone is WMA-DRM compatible?

Does anyone know if Sony Erirsson has announced if this telephone can play Windows Media Audio files? What Digital Rights Management do the walkman phones support?

that is one nice phone, but not a nice price tag

from where i live, or anywhere, 3G is not supported in Canada, US, or anywhere in the country. Now you're asking me that what about HK and China, well, due to the unpopularity and stupidity of it, Vodafone and 3 might stop supporting 3G (rumors though...)Japan is the only one supporting 3G, even though it can still be used in GPRS, you're putting more money for a useless 3G function, unless you live in Japan, China, and HK
