Sony Ericsson announces the SE S001

Sony Ericsson has announced the Sony Ericsson S001. The handset has a 3.3-inch AMOLED display and an 8.1-megapixel camera with a flash, autofocus, and smile-shutter control. The phone is packed with features including mobile TV, high-speed Internet access, GPS, and Bluetooth.

Much like many other handsets on the market lately, the S001 is available in a few different colors: black, pink, and green with gold trim. Do any of you have a colored cell phone? It seems like offering the exceptional variety of colors would hurt sales of these electronics more than help them. If you had your heart set on one of these in black, and then the store only had pink available for weeks would you still buy one?

The handset is currently available only in Japan on the KDDI network, no word on when or if we could see it hit US soil (although it would make sense for the struggling Sony Ericsson to send it our way) or what the pricing will be like for the device.
