Sony Ericsson has launched its latest slim slider phone, the W910i, in India. With dimensions of 99.5 x 50 x 12.5 mm and a weight of just 86 grams, this Walkman phone has incorporated much of Sony Ericsson’s new mobile technology.

To start with, there's the new Shake Control system that allows users to change music tracks simply by waving the phone in the air. Secondly, the W910i has an auto-rotating display for the media section.

The W910i uses SE's new SenseMe playlist creation system. You can choose songs and create playlists based on your moods, than by artist or album. Tracks are presented in a unique visual that shows each song as dots in a matrix and places them according to tempo and style.

The phone has a 2 megapixel camera, and a secondary camera in front for video calling. It has some interesting gaming functions that allow you to control certain games by balancing the phone on your palm and moving it around. It also incorporates Sony’s Walkman v3.0.

New Year Gift from Sony Ericsson

Sony Ericsson has revealed 2 more Walkman phones - W890 (Candybar) and W380 (Flip) that
will hit shelves in the first half of next year.

“With these latest phones, we address the needs
of young, fashion-conscious music lovers with the W380, as well as music connoisseurs who demand the latest Walkman features and fast downloads offered by the W890,” says Ben Padley, Head of Music Marketing at Sony Ericsson. “These Walkman phones combine Sony Ericsson’s undeniable expertise in mobile communications and mobile music to stunning effect.”

The W890 comes with 2GB M2 card in-box and is equipped with a 3.2 megapixel camera. It’s also prepped with Sony’s latest edition of their legendary Walkman software – V3.0. The new version allows you to sort files according to various traits of the track including Album Art. The SensMe music experience automatically plots your music by tempo and mood – letting you create a Playlist that matches how you feel. The W890 comes in 3 colors – Sparkling Silver, Mocha Brown and Espresso Black and the stereo earphones are also color coordinated to the phones. The W890 is also 3G enabled with HSDPA.

Sony Ericsson’s W380 model is a very slim clamshell phone with a new feature that allows users to have gesture control over their music playback. What that means is that the music or the alarm can be muted by a simple wave of the user's hand. The W380 also has an external display that lights up only when a call or message comes in or to display the track information. The internal display is 14.9 inches. But the phone doesn’t need to be opened in order to manage music playback as it has controls on the outside. The W380 Walkman phone comes complete with Media Manager PC software that lets you easily transfer your music, photos and videos between your computer and phone. The W380 supports external memory with M2 cards. The W380 is also equipped with a 1.3 megapixel camera. It’s available in Electric Purple and Magnetic Gray.
Both phones have Stereo in-built speakers and come equipped to handle Sony Ericsson’s TrackID feature for music recognition. They also support wireless Bluetooth connectivity with A2DP compatibility and also have FM radios.

Both models will be out in the first Quarter of 2008. No prices have been revealed yet.

Crackers On Diwali..

This has got to be one of the slimmest phones ever. Not because of the cool TV ad but because of the design itself. At the end of the day, however, it’s a luxury mobile with plenty of what I like to call the 'flash-factor’. That means its one helluva mobile phone. To elaborate, it has a 2-inch external display with 240 x 320 pixel resolution and 256K colors, with a semi-touch screen. What that means is that you can also change tracks with the flap closed simply by tapping the bottom of the external screen. The camera and the music player are both good but what’s most impressive is the build quality. The flap hinges have been tried and tested more times than I care to count and they help up well. The RAZR V8 is available in five models, from a 512MB version to a 2GB with Motorola’s Snoop Stereo (A2DP Compatible) Bluetooth headset.

The new media interface (with a gyroscopic sensor that automatically switches to landscape mode if the phone is turned) is awesome.
The 2 MP camera in the test piece was quite good. The slider is smooth and though the keypad is a bit of problem it’s nothing you can’t get around. The large 2.5 inch display is clear and great for videos. Even the applications and games available with the W910 are superb.
