Sony Ericsson W880i and W610i


Sony Ericsson announces two new Walkman phones; the W880i and W610i build on the success of hit-models such as the W810i and to broaden the appeal of the Walkman phone.

At just 9.4 mm thin, the W880i is the slimmest Sony Ericsson phone yet and combines the full Walkman phone experience with a device that fits easily into a pocket. The 1 GB Memory Stick Micro (M2) provided in-box gives users room to store up to 900 full length tracks, whilst the host of innovative music applications (such as Walkman Player 2.0 and Disc2Phone) make it easy to get music onto their phone in the first place and search through play lists once its there. All of this, plus a 2.0-megapixel camera, is packed into a UMTS phone that's as slim as a standard CD case.

The W610i Walkman phone is all about the detail, whether this is detail in design that builds on the look of earlier Walkman phones or the detailed combination of mobile music with a credible digital camera. The W610i stores up to 470 full-length music tracks on the 512MB Memory Stick Micro (M2) provided, and offers the inventive TrackID music recognition application; a feature that lets the user record a clip of an unknown music track onto their phone and immediately receive a notification of the track name, artist and album. Add to this a 2.0-megapixel camera with auto focus and the W610i is a credible fusion of phone, music player & digital camera.

The W880i represents a milestone in the Walkman phone portfolio. Although without doubt one of the slimmest music phones available with a 1 GB capacity, the true beauty of its design is seen in the brushed stainless steel finish and the stand-out colour variants; either Steel Silver or Flame Black.

The Disc2Phone music management software allows the user to transfer their tracks easily and with no fuss from PC straight onto the phone. With Bluetooth Audio Streaming, all of that music can be enjoyed wirelessly on a Stereo Bluetooth Headset or by streaming music directly to a home or car stereo.
