Sony Ericsson Rocks Two New Walkman Phones and Fashion Phone

January 7th, 2008 by Mark Spoonauer

Sony W760We’re still waiting for a 3G Walkman phone to come stateside, and we’re hoping the W760 is it. This quad-band Walkman phone has HSDPA connectivity, built-in GPS for navigation and local search, and a 3.2-MP camera.

There’s even motion control for playing games like Need for Speed ProStreet; you simply tilt the device while in landscape mode in the direction you want to turn. This attractive flagship device should be available in the second quarter. The W350 and Z555 are also worth a look.

W350 SmallAlthough it lacks 3G, the W350 (available in Q2) lives up to the Walkman sub-brand by sporting a unique flip design that has the music controls on the lid and the dialpad on the inside. It’s also only 10 mm thin, and features TrackID for song identification and stereo Bluetooth.

On the fashion tip there’s the Z555 (available in Q1 in selected markets), whose diamond design should attract women looking for a stylish handset. But this clamshell does more than look good; it leverages motion control to enable users to ignore a call or the built-in alarm clock with the wave of a hand.
