Mobile phones with advanced music options are very much in demand. Many people want their handsets to be empowered with such functionalities; this way they can listen to all their favourite tracks at various moments within their busy schedules. Listening to music go a long way in reducing stress levels and enhancing productivity in the office environment. So, the facts that music enabled mobile phones are hugely popular in the present day world of hectic lifestyles and fast paced living should not surprise anyone.
Several leading handset manufacturers are doing their part to cater to this growing demand. Sony Ericsson, for one, has made a name for itself in the design and development of music enabled mobile phones. Sony Ericsson mobile phones from the Walkman series are very much popular for their music functionality.
The Sony Ericsson w580i is a part of the walkman series from Sony Ericsson mobile phones. The handset comes with an integrated music player and is turning out to be just perfect for music lovers. The sound quality is clear and mesmerising. Musically inclined users depend on the w580i to know more about unknown music tracks; the trackID recognition software makes this possible. Other key options include Play Now, Music DJ, Mega Bass, and high quality stereo music. The visual FM radio options are akin to icing on the cake; people can tune in to their favourite radio stations and enjoy the programs that are on offer.
Among the multimedia features of this amazing mobile phone, one needs to mention the 2 megapixel camera with auto focus and 4x digital zoom. One could easily use this handset for image capture as well as for frame by frame video recording. The images and video clips look all the more attractive in the 2.0 inches colour screen. Fun does not end with music and images though. The Sony Ericsson w580i comes with preloaded 3D Java games. Moreover, high-end connectivity options such as EDGE, Bluetooth and USB ensure that an owner of the handset remains connected with others in more ways than one.
An intuitive slide-open design, an user-friendly interface, and a large screen ensure total user satisfaction. The large screen is visible even when the handset is in slide-closed position. The colour schemes of the handset are equally amazing. Turquoise coloured keys are juxtaposed against an urban colour casing; bright orange coloured keys are set against white coloured casing. Either way, the effect is compelling.

The Sony Ericsson W960i – The Unsurpassed Master Of Music
February 27th, 2010
It’s been no the market a while, now, but the Sony Ericsson W960i is still the king of music!
The rise of the music mobile phones
It seems inevitable, now, that music mobile phones would become so vastly popular. When the first ones appeared, people were a little bit wary, a little bit unsure, but it’s fair to say that fear soon went away, and people flocked to buy them in droves! The logic behind it’s simple; why carry a separate mobile phone and music player, when you can ahve one box in your pocket that does both?! Of course, that seems obvious to us, now, but back in the olden days of a couple of years ago, it wasn’t so obvious. There was one series of mobile phones that really changed that, that let the music mobile take off dominate. I argue that without the success of this paticular brand, music phones wouldn’t be anywhere near as prevalent nowadays.
I’m talking, of course, about Sony Ericsson’s fabulous Walkman phones, the first trendsetter of which was the W800i. Without that, without Sony Ericsson showing the world that your mobile phone could very easily double for (and, in fact, surpass) your standalone mp3 player, we wouldn’t all be using them now. And the Walkman family has itself evolved, setting new benchmarks and trends for the rest of the mobile world to try and catch up with. It seems only fitting then, that what I consider to be the most advanced music phone on the planet today is a Walkman phone…
Say hello to the glorious Sony Ericsson W960i
Make no mistake about it the Sony Ericsson W960i is like something out of a science-fiction film. Show this amazing mobile phone to someone from 2001, and their head would probably explode out of sheer wonder. The first obvious thing that grabs you is the sleek, glossy design, with a recessed keypad giving the front of the phone a sleek finish, and meaning it has no unsightly bulges. Oh, and of course, the screen is flush with the front of the phone, instead of having raised bevels round the edge, again giving it a smooth, “all one piece” feel. The other good thing about having the screen flush with the surface is that it makes using the touchscreen even easier.
Y’see, as you may know, the Sony Ericsson W960i has a full touchscreen, letting you access the menus, the music player, anything, simply by brushing the screen. Combine that with the traditional keypad and you have one of the nicest to use, and most intuitive, mobile phones I’ve ever come across. Then, of course, when you consider the feature-set (3 megapixel camera, fast internet access, new version of the Walkman music player which just beggars belief at how good it is!) you get one of the best phones I’ve ever seen. if you want to compare mobile phones, then pitch this against any of its rivals, and I guarantee it will win!

Sony Ericsson W960i Joins The Sony W960 Walkman Range
October 11th, 2009
The Walkman phone range was originally named after the stand alone MP3 players manufactured and distributed by Sony before their merger with the mobile phone giant Ericsson. The Walkman brand represents the very best in music listening quality with options such as shuffle, random play, graphic equalizer and playlist creation to create a more indulgent music listening experience.
The early Walkman phones set the example for all those that followed with extra music features and technology not seen before in any other manufacturers handsets, they set the president for all MP3 playing handsets and are now considered the most advanced music playing mobile devices available.
The latest addition to the range is the new Sony Ericsosn W960i, a long awaited handset with a turbulent history. The Sony W960 was originally supposed to be launched around October/November of 2007 but delays meant that this new Walkman phone would not be available until 2008. The result was blogs and message boards full with mobile enthusiasts either predicting or spreading rumors of the handsets appearance.
Eventually the W960i was released two days ago on the O2 network by the CPW group, this is a normal route to market for the company and further network launches were expected very soon. This theory proved fruitful as the handset was then released on Vodafone the very next day and next came the all important launch onto Pay As You Go, important because 1 in 4 UK mobile phone users cannot pass the credit criteria in order to get a handset with a contract agreement. The pay as you go option is ideal for an outright purchase that means no network tie in and no minimum term contract period.
The Sony Ericsson W960i introduces finger touch navigation when accessing and playing music files with album art on a 2.6 inch touch sensitive display.
Users can create their own personalized playlists using the Walkman Player and identify that song that they know the name to but cannot quite put their finger on with TrackID music recognition software. They can also get detailed information on the artist. Users can also tore up to 8000 songs with an 8GB memory, synchronize podcasts with your PC or download music online with 3G network or WiFi access.
Boasting a 3.2 mega pixel camera with autofocus, 3x digital zoom and video capture & playback, the Sony Ericsson W960i Walkman phone is able to capture every passing moment and share them with friends and family whether it be by multimedia messaging, email or posting on users own personal blog sites. It’s perfect when traveling abroad when people need to keep abreast with their progress and share their adventures.
With a Stereo headset and media management software included in the package, the Sony W960i has everything needed to manage and update playlists. Users have everything they need to make the Sony Ericsson W960i an all round entertainment system.
Plus with handwriting recognition, document viewer, flight mode, built-in speakerphone and RSS feeds, the Sony Ericsson W960i makes a great business tool.
So it seems that this new Walkman phone offers the very latest in mobile phone music technology but with the added bonus of a high specification camera and some impressive features and functions to make communicating whilst out and about a more enjoyable experience.
