Sony Ericsson adds two new phones to their portfolio!

BEFORE CES HAD STARTED, Sony Ericsson added two new phones to their portfolio (well, at least for the Asian market because the spanking w715 is vodafone exclusive), the C510 and the w508. How well do these two fair off? Based on the features, I'd say not half bad, these two are a great addition to the portfolio. No non-sense, mid-tier phones packed with awesome features, and budget is taken into consideration (thanks SE!)!

C510 has been dubbed as the most affordable Cyber-Shot to date, it sports the following features:

3 megapixel camera (with Imaging shortcuts, sad to say it only has LED flash)
Face detection
Smile Shutter
2.2-inch QVGA scratch-resistant display
Quad-band GSM support plus tri-band UMTS/HSPA connectivity
Accelerometer
Threaded SMS/MMS
Svelte Camera Lens Cover
PhotoMate Application

While, the W508 revives the classic way of changing your looks - by changing the case. If you ask me, the w508 seems to be the little brother of the successful W980. When you purchase the w508 you will be given a free extra case with the package, features include:

Interchangeable StyleUp covers
external music keys
Shake control
SenseMe
TrackID
Accelerometer
Gesture Control
2.2-inch QVGA main display
Monochromatic scratch-resistant 1.1-inch external OLED screen (128x36)
Threaded SMS/MMS
3.2 megapixel fixed focus camera
Quad-band GSM support
HSDPA
FM radio with RDS
The device is also supposed to offer 24 hours of constant music playback.

Here are the promotional videos of the two phones, personally I like the W508 video more compared to that of the C510.
