W960: the new Sony Ericsson Walkman phone

A potent combination of slim UMTS phone and high performance media player, the W960 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” display serves as an excellent viewfinder for a 3.2 megapixel camera and as a widescreen for watching video in TV quality.

“Market enthusiasm for the Walkman® phone range has far outshone even our own expectations,” says Miles Flint, Sony Ericsson President.  “With lifetime global sales standing at over 26.5 million Walkman® phones and users really understanding the benefits of ‘music on your mobile’, the time is right to release the next album! This means Walkman® phones that make it quicker and easier to transfer or download music, plus innovative ways of searching through all of those tracks. It’s also about thinking beyond music, to games, videos and the Web.”
