Sony Ericsson has started the year with a big bang for mobile music lovers. The company introduced the latest of its Walkman® phones, the Sony Ericsson W810, plus two Walkman-branded music accessories.
The Sony Ericsson W810 is a Quad-band EDGE phone (850/900/1800/1900 MHz) that enables users to transfer their legacy CD collection or access operator music download services, while staying connected anywhere in the world.
This new Walkman phone model in Satin Black with orange trim comes with a 512MB removable Memory Stick, which can be upgraded to 2GB currently available in retail outlets. This allows music tracks, photos, video and other multimedia files to be stored on the phone.
The W810 supports MP3 and AAC music file formats and comes with HPM-70 stereo headphones which feature a standard 3.5 mm headphone jack.
Users can load music to the phone by either uploading their legacy CD collection onto the W810 from a PC via USB 2.0 using the provided Disc2Phone music management software, or by purchasing new music from operator specific over-the-air download services. The enclosed PC software makes it easy to sort, browse and transfer files on the 512 MB Memory Stick PRO Duo™, which provides capacity for approximately 150 music tracks – the equivalent of around 15 full length CDs.
A dedicated Walkman button pulls up the music menu regardless of what other application on the phone is in use. Positioned just below the phone’s screen are all the most common music controls needed (Play/Pause/Stop/Skip Track/Volume) to move easily between tracks or adjust the volume on the speaker or headphones.
As with other members of the Walkman phone family, music automatically pauses when an incoming call is received and begins playing again when the call ends. The phone can also operate in a music-only mode for those occasions when the phone function must be disengaged, such as during air travel.
The Sony Ericsson W810 is also features an integrated 2 mega pixel, auto-focus camera with photo light.
The new Walkman-branded accessories are the Portable Speakers MPS-60 and the Music Desk Stand MDS-60.
The Portable Speakers MPS-60 can be plugged into a Sony Ericsson mobile phone to enjoy stereo sounds. The speakers are powered from the mobile phone. It is packaged with a travel case and comes in black, gray and silver.
The Music Desk Stand MDS-60 allows phone charging while music is playing. It comes with loudspeaker covers in white and orange. The MDS-60 comes in silver, white and orange.
