Recently in CES, Sony Ericsson unveiled two new Walkman phones, the W760, what they call the first truly global Walkman phone with tri-band HSDPA and built-in GPS, and the W350, a Walkman phone that Sony Ericsson says offers the perfect blend of style and function.
The W760's built-in GPS with Wayfinder Navigator1) lets you search over 20 million points of interest around the globe and talks you to your destination every turn of the way. There’s also a GPS-supported fitness application called Tracker that can tell you how fast, for how long and how far you ran.
The W350’s Walkman player can easily be accessed and operated even without opening its flip cover. With Walkman on Top, key MP3 functions including Play, Pause and Scroll are outside the phone’s flip cover so you can use it just like you would a standalone MP3 player.
The new Walkman phone have yet to arrive in Malaysia and are expected to be launched here sometime around March or April so stay tuned for more updates.
Read on for more on the phones.
The W760
Share your music with your friends
Become the focal point of a spontaneous party or gaming experience with
the W760's powerful built-in stereo speakers. If outdoors, use the
phone with the Active Speaker MAS-100 - a revolutionary case that not
only looks fantastic but also protects your Walkman® phone at the same
time as being a built-in speaker and FM radio antenna for enjoying
music with friends.
Set the mood with the right music
The W760 helps select the right music for the occasion. Store up to 950
tracks2) on your phone, and use SensMe to pick the music and tracks
that match your mood in an instant. Navigate through a playlist with
Shake Control - shuffle and skip through tracks, or adjust the volume,
with just a shake of the phone.
The TrackID functionality allows you to identify any song you are
listening to on the FM Radio or at a club. And with TrackID Charts,
you can also review the most searched tracks in your country or
anywhere in the world.
The intuitive Media User Interface rotates depending on how you're
holding the phone, so you can see everything you need at a glance. Auto
rotate works for photos, videos and games3) too. Just twist the phone
to change the view.
Get a piece of the gaming action
With the W760, gaming is more fun than ever. The phone allows you to
play in landscape mode, with sound from stereo speakers and use of
dedicated
gaming buttons like a gaming console. It is preloaded with the latest games, including Need for Speed ProStreet - where high speed and utter adrenaline
collide. The W760 is built for fast-paced action with a large 2.2"
screen for great gameplay and Motion Sensor Gaming that allows you to
play top games on your phone in 3D quality, using the motion of the
phone to control the game.
Capture the moment
A quality 3.2 megapixel camera is built in to the phone. Just slide
open the phone, press the camera button and capture the moment!
Pictures can be stored on the 1GB Memory Stick or transferred to a PC
using Media Manager.
The W350
The W350 makes it straightforward to transfer music onto your phone.
Whether your favourite tracks are on a CD or on your computer, all you
need to do with the phone's intuitive Media Manager software is drag
your tracks from your computer onto your phone via a USB cable. You can
store up to 470 tracks 1) or 40 entire albums1) and, once your music
is onto your phone, it's also easy to navigate around it with the
Walkman® player.
Never miss a beat
You're at the bar, and a song plays that you used to love... but you
just can't place it! Sounds familiar? We've all experienced this, and
thanks to TrackID TM, it need never happen again. Just record a few
seconds of the song into the phone's microphone (or tag it from the
built-in radio) and use TrackIDTM to identify it. The phone provides
you with the name of the song, the artist, and even the album so that
you can download it and enjoy it again and again.
Stay tuned without wires
You don't need to hold the phone in your hand to get the best out of
the W350. With the Bluetooth Headset HBH-DS205, you can stream the
music on your phone wirelessly to your ears! Your phone can be in your
bag and you can still listen to the music, see which song is playing
and take calls.
