The Japanese phone market has been left wanting for a Sony Ericsson music phone. Thus, SE is about to release the W42S that supports the Japanese KDDI network.
The phone features a slider design with 1GB of internal storage. The W42S memory can be expanded to a whopping 4GB bringing the total GB output to 5 gigs worth of data and music. What also sets the phone apart is the bottom jog dial contraption that allows you to play music, adjust the volume and hang your phone from your neck providing easy access to music playback features.
A Mobile Music Enhanced chipset is being used in the phone. The chipset MSM6550 has a lower power consumption compare to other music decoder. Need to store more music files, a 1GB internal memory is available built in. You can transfer the music files from your pc to the phone via USB cradle and SonicStage software. The music player support music format like ATRAC3plus, ATRAC3, WAV, MP3, WMA and AAC.

Does the Sony Ericsson W42S have Bluetooth? And would it work in other places except Japan?
yes it should have bluetooth and no it wont work outside of japan. if u want something similar wait for the w850.
No,W42S doesn’t have a bluetooth.and can’t even play mp3 music…
does sony ericsson w42s can work 2 any country except japan? or this can be use n the philippines or usa?
Just got the phone (living in Japan atm). No, it does not have bluetooth. Yes, it can play mp3s but getting them into the internal 1gb storage is a b****, unless you have a Japanese OS since the priority version of sonicstage will won’t install on an English version of windows.
I also have a unit, but does anybody knows how can this be use in the philippines?
Is there any music management other than the sonicstage be compatible?
Could some one please tell me if this phone will work in Thailand?. Can it be un-locked?.
Cheers
it can be unlocked for sure. im sure thailand will have some units coming their way, albeit in the gray market?
someone let me know where i can order one (if possible) please and thanks =)
Hello,
What a philosophy of sony? I could not understand at all. in this age of wireless technology, sony is probably in 20th century??To upload music in the machine is not less than to fight with a lion. You must have an audio cd. to extract song from cd to pc, it takes more than 3 minute per song and then from pc to mobile another 1 minute. Moreover, that extracted file is no more stored in pc, so every time you wish to upload song means inserting cd.
In the mean time, who knows what is going out there as it requires Japanese OS and the software is only japanese. Just trial and error. My last experience is while trying to add 14 songs from a cd, 17 already uploaded songs were gone, where I don’t know, but they r not in mobile!!!!
Or there r any options????????

It WILL work with the American version of Sonic Stage! (it requires that you install a memory card, reasoning explained in the blog)

No bluetooth. It DOES work with the American version of Sonic Stage. (requires a bit of work during installation, and the phone MUST have a memory card installed)
When i try to transfer the music file, I get an error saying “Cannot transfer anymore tracks. The memory of the device/media is full” even though i still have 222 MB of space in the memory card. Please help!
