Introduction

Sony Ericsson launched its thin music focused phone in May. Sony Ericssons walkman series has taken the mobile world by storm. Its walkman series is one of the company’s best selling devices. It is a mid-range Walkman phone with the new Walkman® 2.0 player. This in general is meant for the younger generation who wish to listen to music. It is also meant for those who wish to while away their time listening to some good music.

Walkman

This Sony Ericsson mobile phone has the latest version of the Walkman player. It brings the ease of digital music players to the mobile. The walkman key is a one-click access to the player. With this key you can play, rewind, fast forward, equalize, shuffle tracks and create play lists. You can also enjoy original album art on the phone screen. Another important feature of the phone is the TrackID. If the song that is being played is not recognizable then record a few lines of the song and TrackID returns the song name, artist and album to your phone within seconds. The Audio quality is quite good as it is loud and clear through high-quality headphones or external speakers. The phone is also compatible with stereo Bluetooth wireless headsets. Mega Bass adds depth, and stereo widening for a bigger sound.

Media player

It also has Comprehensive CD-ripping software (Disc2Phone) and a RDS FM radio. The phone has a 2 mega pixel camera with auto focus and a flash. It also has video recoding facility. It has also the option of picture blogging. The image taken can be viewed on the display screen. The screen is a bright, clear TFD LCD.

Connectivity and storage

This Sony Ericsson mobile phone does not sport the 3G connectivity but it is quad-band. Thus it can be used anywhere in the world. The phone is compatible with Sony’s Memory Stick Micro™ (M2™) memory cards, and a 512 Mbyte card. The interface of the phone is very good.
