Sony Mylo 2 Personal Communicator Out Next Week

Sony mylo 2 Shipping Next Week0

If you're the type who likes smartphones with big color screens and full slide-out keyboards, but really wish you could buy one that doesn't actually make phone calls, you may want to head over to SonyStyle.com. There, Sony is now taking orders on the new mylo 2, due to ship next week.

The $300 mylo 2, like the mylo before it, is called a "Personal Communicator." It's heavily focused toward (presumably affluent) IM'ing and texting teens. When connected to a Wi-Fi connection you'll be able to tweak your Facebook and MySpace accounts and chat over AIM and Google Talk while snapping 1.3 megapixel shots and listening to some tunes. It does have Skype installed for free calling over the Internet, but it's still not really a phone, making this a niche product to say the very least.
