Sony Ericsson W960, awsome music phone!

The W960 Walkman phone is Sony Ericsson’s new heavy weight Walkman device, offering 8GB of storage data for all your music files and a cool touchscreen – all in a slim format. Combined with UMTS and the high performance media player, which is the trademark of Walkman, Sony Ericsson hopes for a chunk of the high end user market. It can pack up to 8,000 songs* and includes a Walkman player for finger-touch navigation (as well as a stylus) around play lists on the large screen.

The 2.6" display serves as an excellent viewfinder for a 3.2 mega pixel camera and as a widescreen for watching video in TV quality. The W960 succeeds in delivering all the features of a high performance media player in a standard phone size:

• Store more: Up to 700* albums and PC-to-phone transfer of 1GB in less than 3 minutes
• Touch and play: Navigate the latest Walkman® player with touch of a finger or stylus
• Explore more: Surf the Web via Wi-Fi™ or at 3G speed and watch videos in TV quality

The W960 drops in the fourth quarter of the year; you’ll be able to have any color you want, as long as it’s black.
