More Than a Phone: Sony Ericsson W760 Walkman Phone

The Sony Ericsson W760 further blurs the line between gadgets. The Sony Ericsson W760 Walkman is a UMTS/HSDPA 850/19002100 and GSM/GPRS/EDGE 850/900/1800/1900 phone. It’s the first truly global Walkman phone with tri-band HSDPA, enabling broadband speed downloads of the latest music and content wherever in the world it is used. It features built-in GPS with Wayfinder Navigator and a GPS-supported fitness application called Tracker that can tell you how fast, for how long and how far you ran or walked.

It also features powerful built-in stereo speakers. When outdoors, use the phone with the Active Speaker MAS-100 case that protects your Walkman phone at the same time as being a built-in speaker and FM radio antenna for enjoying music with friends.

The W760 Walkman Phone has SensMe & TrackID. Use SensMe to quickly select music and tracks or navigate through a playlist with Shake Control - shuffle and skip through tracks, or adjust the volume, with just a shake of the phone.

The 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 images, videos and games too.

The phone allows you to play games in landscape mode, with sound from stereo speakers and use dedicated gaming buttons like a gaming console. It is preloaded with the latest games, including Need for Speed ProStreet. The Sony Ericsson W760 features a 2.2” screen for great game play 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.

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 a 1GB Memory Stick or transferred to a PC using Media Manager.

The Sony Ericsson phone will be available in select markets starting Q2 2008.
