After being blessed by the FCC a while ago, the GPS-toting Sony Ericsson W518a is finally joining AT&T’s ranks this July 19 along with the 8mpx shooter, the Cybershot C905a. Take away the GPS receiver and the W518a will start to look like just another Walkman phone with the usual Walkman-oriented features, a 3.2 megapixel camera, and dedicated external music controls, but wait, don’t write it off so easy! The flip phone is Facebook enabled and its Advanced Shake Control gives users the ease of changing a song, shuffle, and control volume with just a shake. Still not good enough? Well, how about Gesture Control, where you wave your hand in front of its camera to reject a call? Yep, if that’s got your attention, all you have to do is wait till the W518a starts selling on July 19 with a $49.99 price tag to get one (after rebates with a two-year agreement).
