CES 2008: Sony Ericsson W760 Walkman slider
The W350 isn’t the only Walkman-branded phone being shown at CES. Sony Ericsson is also showing off their W760 device, which offers the Walkman brand with a slider form factor, with the addition of tri-band UMTS/HSDPA 850/1900/2100 and quad-band GSM/GPRS/EDGE 850/900/1800/1900. The W760 features built-in GPS with Wayfinder Navigator which allows users to search 20 million worldwide points of interest, making sure you always take the right turn, as well as a GPS-supported fitness application called Tracker, which acts as a mobile pedometer.
The W760 allows you to save up to 950 tracks to your device, with the SensMe service which allows your device to cater to your mood, creating smart playlists depending on what your in the mood to hear. Shake Control gesture controlling allows you to change the volume or navigate through music by just shaking the phone, as well as the same TrackID system which is also featured in the W350. A 3.2 MP camera, gaming capability, and flash card storage round out the Walkman device. We’re thinking it should be released around the same time as the W350, as it too has a release set for Q2 2008.
