Sony Ericsson are bringing out the W760 Walkman phone, which is a great all round mobile phone. It is a nice neat slide phone, similar in style to the old Sony Ericsson W850 – but less chunky looking.
The Sony Ericsson W760 has a good 3 megapixel camera, 2.2 inch screen, Walkman player with Shake Control and Sense Me, FM radio and integrated GPS so that you can find your way on journeys.
The shake control means that you can control the music on the phone by simply shaking the handset. So if you wanted to skip tracks you would hold down the dedicated Walkman button on the phone and shake the phone to the side. Which seems a little gimmicky and pointless in my opinion – if you have to press a button to activate the Shake Control then why not simply press the ‘skip’ button? However, if you take out the need to press the button you run the risk of skipping tracks randomly when you make any kind of sudden movement!
Despite that there are good features on this phone, which will surely make it very popular. One of my favourites is the auto rotation which changes the orientation of the screen if you move the phone onto its side. So if you are browsing through your pictures you can move the phone onto its side to browse the gallery in landscape view.
As well as this the Sony Ericsson W760 has a 40 MB internal memory, 3G (although no ability to video call), Bluetooth and stereo speakers. This is a good upgrade for those with the W850, or those looking for a good music phone with the added benefit of the GPS.
The Sony Ericsson W760 is due out by summer 2008, sadly there is no word on pricing as yet.
