The collaboration of Sony and Ericsson has endowed us with so much possibilities that all of us are enjoying the best in technology in the most spectacular manner possible. After a huge success with its earlier Walkman Series mobile phones like W550i, W700i, W800i, the company has taken a bold step by launching some more powerful Walkman phones like W580i, W880i etc. The company has launched two more models in the series, the Sony Ericsson W960i and W910i Walkman phones. The latest member W910i is available in two attractive colours: Sony Ericsson W910i Red and Sony Ericsson W910i Black.
Sony Ericsson has marked a firm ground for itself by launching one after another mobile phone. For those music enthusiasts nothing can be better than the Walkman phones which come complete with features like Walkman Music Players, MegaBass effect, PlayNow, TrackID (not all the models carry MegaBass and TrackID). The user-friendly music player lets you scroll through your music library quickly which you can organise by tracks, albums, artists, playlists, etc. You can transfer your music files or any other file from a PC to your handset or vice versa through a USB cable. Bluetooth technology also allows you to share your tracks with your friends and colleagues wirelessly. Sufficient memory room is another attraction of the Sony Ericsson music phones. Not only the internal memory is standard, but also they come with memory expansion slots. These Walkman phones are not only rich in musical capabilities but also carry other standard features as well. Functions like high resolution display screens, video player, integrated cameras, SMS, MMS and email, connectivity options like USB, Bluetooth, Infrared, GPRS, gaming functions etc. all can be experienced in the Walkman Series mobile phones.
The Walkman phone Series from Sony Ericsson is getting bigger and better each passing day. Features are also on the rise at a regular interval. All you need to do is to choose your preferred Walkman phone and enjoy the way you like!

Sony Ericsson W580i Pink Joins The Sony W580i Walkman Range
January 23rd, 2010
Pink mobile phones were first introduced to the market around three years ago when the pioneering manufacturer Motorola launched its pink version of the Motorola RAZR V3 handset just before Christmas, other manufacturers then followed suit and this gave rise to a flood of new pink handsets.
The latest pink mobile phone release is the Sony Ericsson W580i, the fourth colour variant from the model range following on from the original Urban Grey, Style White, Boulevard Black the official name for the new colour scheme is Metro Pink.
It is usually around this time of year that retailers get a good idea of what is going to be on offer over the festive period with manufacturers and dealers slowly giving out press releases on new products and rumours flying around the mobile phone forums. This year is without doubt the year of different coloured phones, never before have there been so many colour schemes available.
The new Sony W580i Pink Edition fits into a niche of its own, there is only one other pink mobile phone featuring enhanced music software which is the Pink Samsung F210, however the W580i is part of the Walkman range of Sony Ericsson phones which means it offers the latest version of the Walkman music software.
The music software allows the user to easily upload new music files ot complete albums from a PC to the phone, entire CDs can be copied direct to the phones memory with a clever piece of software called Disc2Phone. Users can also download new music tracks direct from the mobile internet and then organise them into playlists to suit mood, genre or tempo, the W580i has 2GB of memory thanks to Memory Stick Duo which can hold up to 1600 songs which compares favourably with many stand alone MP3 players.
There is also an extra feature not found on the F210, TrackID is a service that recognises music tracks, if a user wanted to know more information about a piece of music they were listening to whilst out and about, they can simply record a couple of seconds of sound and the phone will send this to a recognition database which will in turn send back a message to the phone with the name of the artist and track, this can be very useful if in a nightclub, rather than barging through to ask the DJ which track they have on the user can find out almost instantly.
Staying with the music theme, there is also an FM radio for keeping up to date with the latest music releases, news, sports and local traffic and weather reports which also features RDS which will display information sent out by the station such as the artist and track name playing.
The Sony W580i features a 2.0 megapixel camera with support for video recording and playback, digital zoom for close up picture capture and a flash for low light conditions, this is a similar camera to the F210.
One feature that the W580i does have over the F210 is that of a suite of fitness and sports applications including a pedometer, particularly useful if you like to listen to music whilst you jog and want to keep a record of your progress.
The Sony Ericsson W580i Pink Edition offers a more feminine quality to the expanding range of Walkman phones which up until now have been very masculine looking, female mobile users also like to enjoy their music so it makes for a welcome addition to the range.
