2nd March 2006 - Sony Ericsson today expanded
its growing line-up of Walkman® phones with the W300,
a quad band EDGE clamshell which aims to bring the mobile
phone Walkman® experience to an even greater market. With
the same great Walkman® music quality experience as high-end
models, a compact and eye catching design plus integrated
camera, the W300 allows new users to enjoy the Sony Ericsson
mobile music experience.
With today’s announcement of the W300 Sony Ericsson
has now launched a total of seven Walkman® phones, targeted
at different customer needs and life-style choices. From high-end
UMTS models aimed at users who want to enjoy over-the-air
downloads, high-speed email and internet connectivity to models
targeting more casual music listeners such as the W600 and
W800, Sony Ericsson aims to create a Walkman® mobile phone
for everyone, everywhere.
The W300 Walkman® phone, which supports both MP3 and
AAC music files, offers a great sound experience with up to
30 hours of music listening. The user experience is enhanced
by direct music keys, shuffle function, as well as an in-built
FM radio with RDS and flight mode. Disc2 phone software supplied
with the phone, allows users to easily transfer their favourite
CDs to their mobile phone and enjoy them anywhere, anytime
without missing a call.
Featuring expressive colours and a stylish compact design,
the W300 is shipped with removable 256MB Memory Stick Micro™
(M2™) expandable to 1GB, as well as a stereo headset,
USB cable and music management software.
In addition to the great music features, the W300 offers
an easy way to take and view great snap-shot pictures or record
videos using the integrated camera with 4x digital zoom. The
phone’s 262K TFT colour screen makes it perfect for taking
fun snap-shot images and enjoying them on the screen, while
full MMS support enables these images to be shared with friends
and family.
The monochrome 1” sub display on the outside of the
clamshell allows users to view media player information or
caller display without opening the phone.
The W300 is equipped with EDGE Class 10 technology, to allow
quick and easy data transfers and Internet access, as well
as Bluetooth™ ideal for sharing data with other Bluetooth-enabled
devices.
The Sony Ericsson W300 will be available in Shimmering White
and Shadow Black colour variants and starts shipping in Q2
2006.
