Just in – the Sony Ericsson Spiro, available on the Virgin network in a slightly funky shade of green, silver and lime green with a hint of sage actually.

Virgin Mobile are now offering the Spiro handset on their Pay As You Go tariff at a price of £59.99 which includes £10 worth of airtime making the handset cost effectively £49.99. The handset itself, also known as the W100i, is a Walkman phone, great for music fans and is silver with a green trim and with the slide out keypad being green in colour. The back of this particular Spiro is also green, a sage/pea green.

After updating models like the Xperia X10 and Vivaz, Sony Ericsson has  turned its attention to remodelling its Walkman range of handsets, and the Spiro is the first of such models.

The impressive looking Spiro is a slider style handset. It weighs a mere 90 grams and has compact measurements of 92x48x17 mm which means it will sit comfortably in the palm of your hand. Its curved edges just make it a lot more attractive. The Spiro features a 2.2″ screen and is capable of displaying up to 256,000 colors.
