This slim slider phone speaks volumes in urban cool while delivering the full-on Walkman® phone music experience. It will store up to 470 full-length tracks, has a 2.0 megapixel camera tucked discretely within the slider itself, plus stacks of gaming, fun sports and entertainment features.

“The W580 Walkman® phone is designed to match your lifestyle, whether you are in the car, at a party or busy at the gym,” explains Steve Walker, Head of Product Marketing at Sony Ericsson. “As well as letting you have your latest music with you at all times, the W580 steps in as your portable photo album and pocket gaming device. It will even serve as your training partner thanks to built-in sports applications that track running speed and distance.”

This latest Walkman® phone pushes the boundaries of urban style. When the slider is closed the design, either in Style White or Urban Grey, is ice-cool, understated. Flick open the slider and the phone becomes a real attention grabber, revealing hot orange colour accents and stunning light effects along the sides.

At only 14mm thin, you wonder where the W580 finds room for all of that music, the camera and the fun applications. But it does, effortlessly, and there is no compromise on the full Walkman® phone experience. As well as storing up to 470 full-length music tracks *, it is incredibly easy to get music from your computer into the phone, since the Disc2Phone music management software and USB cable all come in the box. You can even use TrackID™ to identify music tracks you don’t recognise, regardless of whether they are playing out loud or via the phone’s RDS FM Radio. With all this going on, make sure you take time to notice the light effects on the W580. Navigate to the Walkman® player and they automatically change to a glowing orange colour.

With the W580 Walkman® phone you can even take your favourite tracks to the track. It will count your steps, your calories and monitor your running speed/distance/time. Add to that your best tunes for motivation and whether you’re on a run, in the gym or just out for a stroll, the W580 is the perfect fitness partner.

Urban cool really does meet mobile entertainment with the W580. The 2.0 megapixel camera and fast connectivity make picture blogging and instant messaging second nature. 3D Gaming is fast action too with hit titles preloaded. The slider action also allows for a large 2.0” colour screen, ideal not just for gaming but also web browsing and viewing your camera photos.

As if the W580 did not already scream of street style, you can also add music accessories to your Walkman® phone to make even more of an impression. Two sets of cool, optional speakers – the Portable Speakers MPS-70 and Snap-on Speakers MPS-75 – instantly transform the W580 into the heart and soul of any party. If you want to turn up the volume still further, then the Bluetooth™ Music Receiver MBR-100 lets you play your phone music directly through a home stereo, using your W580 as the remote control to skip through tracks and adjust the volume. So the W580 Walkman® phone looks and sounds stylish, whether you are at a party or just hitting the street.

With so many new phones constantly coming onto the market, some models seem to rely on flashiness to capture consumers’ attention. Not so with the Sony Ericsson W760a, a slider Walkman handset that feels well made and solid enough to continue providing high quality music, photos and communication while other phones come and go.

The W760a is the first global Walkman phone with tri-band HSDPA and many reviewers have found it to be a marked improvement over previous Sony Ericsson Walkman phones. This phone is designed to appeal to music lovers and gamers and despite its sleek, grown up look, there are a lot of special features packed inside.

These include the shake control to shuffle music tracks, fast forward and adjust volume, and an accelerometer that allows users to navigate certain games by tilting the phone in various directions. The W760a can switch to landscape mode with the slider closed while music and gaming applications are open, which makes it similar to the iPhone in one respect, although there is no touch screen here.

Design:

This user friendly slider phone seems well constructed – it can be opened with one hand – and at 3.6 ounces, the phone feels solid. There is a dimpled texture on the bottom of the phone that is attractive and appears to provide some grip to help slide open the phone. The texture continues on the back of the phone, giving the impression that Sony Ericsson paid attention to design details to make the phone simple and functional, yet aesthetically pleasing.

At 4.05 inches tall, 1.9-inches wide and 0.6-inches thick, the W760a is big enough to provide a substantial screen for gaming and multimedia use and a large keypad underneath, without seeming bulky. Smooth, curved corners on the phone are an appealing design feature, and the overall look of the W760a is minimalist yet functional.

This handset comes in fancy black, rocky silver and intense red. The model reviewed here is rocky silver from AT&T, which is a combination of light silver on the face and a slightly darker graphite shade on the keypad and a few other parts.

Sony Ericsson kept the face of the W760a simple, with only a few keys and the screen. Just above the screen, A/B gaming keys on the left and right straddle the phone’s ear speaker. Below the screen are two selection keys and immediately underneath them is a large, round, four-way navigation key, which can also be used with the Walkman for play, stop, forward and back functions. To the left of the navigation key is a “call” key and to the right is an “end” key that also turns the phone on and off.

The only other keys of the top face of the phone are a MEdia Net key, for users to connect with one touch to AT&T’s media service for local news, weather and other information, and a “clear” key. The tactile keys – call and end are smooth and round, while the navigation key has a combination of textures to distinguish play from forward, for example – make it easier to select the right key by touch.

The keypad under the slider is large, with buttons big enough to dial with relative ease, although their relative flatness makes it a little difficult to do so by touch. The top row of keys is right up against the bottom of the top slider component, which can make it hard to dial them at first. However, this may be something users can get accustomed to and does not seem to be a major problem.

Sliding the phone open also reveals the 3.2-megapixel camera, which is cleverly protected when the phone is closed. Sony Ericsson even paid attention to the details of what would be revealed on the back of the slider when it is opened, so there is a shiny textured design – black on the rocky silver model – surrounding the camera and covering most of the exposed back of the slider.

With so much attention on multimedia in the W760a design, it is important that Sony Ericsson provided room to add extra storage space in case users need more to accommodate their favorite media. The memory card slot is more convenient than in many other phones, on which the back of the phone and battery must often be removed to access it. On the W760a, the memory card slot is at the top of the phone, beneath a small plastic tab that can be difficult to pry open, but still more accessible than on a lot of other handsets.

Other functions located on the side of the W760a include a volume rocker button on the right side, a strap holder on the lower left corner, a key to access the Walkman and a connector for the phone charger, hands free technology and USB cable.

The simple interface on the Sony Ericsson W760a from AT&T gives users easy access to media and gaming features, which are truly the high point of this handset. Twelve icons link to different tools and applications, and the five games that come with the AT&T model can be found under the “Entertainment” icon.

Music and gaming are where users can put to use the W760a’s unique features, the accelerometer and shake control. These allow people to navigate music choices and play certain games by shaking and tilting the phone, and switch the display to landscape mode when the slider is closed.

Out of the box, the Sony Ericsson W760a comes with a standard 900 mAh-Li-Ion battery, charger, user guide and quick start guide.

Some of the cool features:

Beyond Shake to Shuffle

Cool new accelerometer lets you shake or tilt the phone to fast-forward to the next song or control certain video games.

Slim slider design

Music controls are right at your finger tips while the phone’s controls hide out of sight until you need them.

Music, music, music

Listen to MP3s, built-in FM radio or subscription music services like Napster and eMusic.

Expandable memory

11 MB of storage can expand up to 4 GB with Sony’s Memory Stick Micro (sold separately) to hold music and photos.

Series Highlights: 10.1 megapixel, 10x optical zoom, 3.0″ LCD, Intelligent Auto, Smile Shutter™, Face Detection, Optical SteadyShot™ image stabilization, 720p video

Description: Zoom in on the 10.1-megapixel DSC-H20 Cyber-shot digital camera and get the best shot. With its Carl Zeiss Vario-Tessar wide-angle lens with a 10x optical zoom, it is easy to capture the moment with impeccable detail. A 3.0-inch touch screen makes reviewing your shots a breeze and the ingenious iAuto mode takes the guesswork out of choosing the camera settings when you are not sure which one to pick. There is also built-in technology like Optical SteadyShot image stabilization that reduces blur and Smile Shutter mode that automatically captures a smile as it happens. Feel like recording HD video? The H20 captures crisp, 720p video that can be viewed on your HDTV. There is even an anti-blink function to help everyone look their best and in-camera photo retouching tools.

The Sony VAIO Z Series is based on Intel’s new Centrino 2 platform

It features a carbon fiber lid and will be available in several configurations and can be configured to order. On the top end, customers can choose dual 64GB solid state drives or a single 320GB hard drive. All versions get integrated Sprint EVDO Rev.A wireless cards.

The Z series will ship with Windows Vista installed, and an XP downgrade DVD that contains all necessary drivers in the box.

Sony’s hybrid graphics are more useful than ever now that you can switch between dedicated graphics for superior performance or integrated graphics to conserve your battery on the fly. On previous systems switching required a restart and was sometimes more of a hassle and meant many SZ users, including myself, rarely used the feature.

The VAIO Z weighs in at 3.4 pounds and ships with a smaller AC adapter than the SZ series, which was seriously oversized for such as small notebook.

The Sony VAIO Z has an advertised six-hour battery run time with its standard battery. An extended battery is available that’s rated to last for nine hours.

Like many recent Sony Ericsson, the K700 has lots of features, almost all of them. Camera, video, Bluetooth, Infrared, Speakerphone, name it. It even has a Lithium Polymer battery. Yet, like many Sony Ericsson phones, the K700 one has some important features that are just not as good: in this case, the keypad is amazingly bad, small round and slippery keys that feel like one of these fake phones you get at the dollar store. This is far from the good keypads of Korean phones and you just end up wondering: why such a cheap keypad?

However, I didn’t have problems of slow software like others have reported – I believe the unit I reviewed had the updated software that apparently fixes that problem. Sound quality is good and the ringtone speaker is surprisingly hi-fi (for a phone) with clear and crisp sound. So is the display, large enough and naturally colorful. The 40MB of memory also helps a lot. That makes me think that, after all, one may just accept to live with the bad keypad in order to get a feature-packed phone. It’s your decision I guess.

This time, Sony Ericsson’s PDA phone has a super set of features and a good design. It’s still a better PDA than a phone, but it’s a much better phone than the P800 was.

Some Minuses

Speakerphone captation isn’t as good as some others

Software is a bit complex

The Sony Ericsson P900 is the successor of the P800, a similar PDA phone that was far from perfect. In this new version, many issues have been resolved. The keypad is much better, there is a still and video camera and a larger display with 65K colors.

But I have to mention that the software has some annoyances. Examples? If you want to switch to speakerphone when starting a call, you press “menu” but then, sometimes the option to select is “7″, other times, it’s “8″ so you have to look everytime. And if the phone displays something new, the menu disappears before you can even press one of these keys. That kind of software weaknesses is one of the only and most important P900 weaknesses, along with the speakerphone’s fair but not excellent performance with regards to transmitting my voice to my interlocutor — I’ve seen better.

On the personalization side, the Sony Ericsson P900 is lovely. From MP3 ringtones to custom graphics, you can make it fit your mood as easily as through direct infrared uploads or wireless web downloads in a free, do-it-yourself way. It comes with some Symbian software such as Opera browser (free download). The P900 also has Bluetooth, a 32MB memory stick for a total of 48MB memory and an excellent battery life. Once you get used to the jogdial, you can really do a lot of things with just one hand.
