Sony Ericsson W960i with Finger-Touch Navigation

The Sony Ericsson W960i Walkman phone packs enough punch for up to 8,000 songs and includes a Walkman player for finger-touch navigation around playlists on the large screen. The 2.6-inch display serves as an excellent viewfinder for a 3.2-megapixel camera and as a widescreen for watching video in TV quality.

Managing tracks is easy and it can transfer up to 1 GB of data, including music tracks, from a PC to the phone in less than three minutes. With two stylish headsets supplied in the box (one of these the new Stereo Bluetooth Headset HBH-DS220) and a music listening time of up to 27 hours, users are free to dance much more than the night away.

Consumers can navigate the W960i and browse media files with the touch of a finger (or stylus). Just press the touch controls to find the way to whatever type of entertainment that’s needed. If video is the choice, the phone supports video playback at 30 frames per second, which is the same as TV quality. The 2.6-inch touch-sensitive display is great for Web browsing. Hook up to the Web using the 3G network or a Wi-Fi access point. Visit favorite pages, buy music online, and download new programs.

To catch the fun, the W960i Walkman phone boasts a 3.2-megapixel camera within its 16mm frame. Auto focus makes photos sharper, and with picture messaging or email users can share them instantly. Another way to spread the word - or photos - is to post them on a blog site.

As with the W910 Walkman phone, consumers can organize all of their content for the W960i using Media Manager PRO, a PC program for optimizing music, photos and videos to be used on a phone.

As with earlier Walkman phones, the W960i incorporates TrackID music recognition software. This lets users record a clip of a song on the phone and find out instantly the name of the artist, track and album. Handy for those moments when a song is heard, but don’t know who sings it. Users can now receive detailed information about the song identified ?– the background of the artists and the album. New ways to search have been added in, other than just by capturing an audio clip. If they know a bands name and not much else, for example, they can text search to find out more. Search by artist, title, album or lyrics.

The Sony Ericsson W960i Walkman phone is UMTS 2100-GSM/GPRS 900/1800/1900 and will be available in Vinyl Black from Q4 2007.
