Sony Ericsson wants to help you realize your dream of being James Bond--only don't expect a suave British accent or an instantly smooth way with the ladies.

Instead, expect limited-edition silver versions of the K800 and K790 Cyber-shot camera phones, which will be used by the famed 007 in Sony Pictures' upcoming Bond flick "Casino Royale." Finally, phones that let you conduct enemy surveillance and take pics of the dog!

Both phones have 3.2-megapixel cameras with Autofocus, Xenon flash for lowlight conditions, and BestPic, which allows consumers/secret agents to take nine pictures of a moving object simultaneously. High-speed 3G data transfer lets the Bond wannabe share images with friends, colleagues or even the MI6.

Of course, no Hollywood-themed gadget would be complete without a host of bundled promotional content. The phones are thus equipped with Bond wallpapers and ring tones, as well as the full video movie trailer.

Sony Ericsson says the phones will only be available for three months, so if you want one, you'd best hop in your Aston Martin DB5 and get your Bond on fast.
