[sonymod]

Another Walkman phone comes in the form of the Sony Ericsson W960. This time arriving with Symbian/UIQ smartphone UI combination, the Sony Ericsson W960 rivals the iPhone and sportss 8GB of on board memory and a 2.6" 262k color, QVGA resolution touch screen display. Over 700 albums worth of music can be stored on the device and navigated with the new Walkman Touch player. Bluetooth with A2DP stereo headset support is also included to allow wireless enjoyment of your music. Sony Ericsson's TrackID feature has also been beefed up in the latest Walkman range, with detailed information on artists and albums being delivered with the touch of a button.

Other features include W960's sleeve though, as built in WiFi connectivity allows for high speed web browsing and email. Out of range of a wireless hotspot? The W960 also includes UMTS 2100MHz 3G connectivity and tri-band GSM/GPRS. Imaging is also easily handled with the 3.2MP auto focus camera, and since the W960 is a UIQ smartphone, all you PIM data is available as well. What is even more surprising is that all these features are housed in a phone only 16mm think and weighing just 119g.

The Sony Ericsson W960 Walkman phone will be available in select markets from Q4 2007.
