In a surprising move, Sony Ericsson announced the low-end W395 Walkman phone.
It has a slider form factor with a rather glossy housing and is equipped with a 2.0″ 176×220 scratch-resistant screen, supporting up to 262k colours. The Walkman boasts a 2-megapixel non-AF snapper on its back, which is adequate for an “affordable” phone. It also boasts of Photo Fix, which isn't normally found in phones of this class.
The music side of the phone features the familiar Walkman 2.0 player with a customizable equalizer, the MegaBass equalizer preset, album art and stereo widening (and stereo speakers to boot!). It also has Sony Ericsson’s well-known TrackID music recognition service, which lets you identify the title, album and artist of a song just by recording a small clip of it.There’s FM radio with RDS and Bluetooth with A2DP on-board as well.
The W395 ships bundled with the HPM-64 stereo headset and with a 1GB M2 memory card.
Another interesting thing about this phone is that it also features and accelerometer, which means that you can play motion-controlled games on it, much like the gaming F305, the former being basically a Walkman version of the latter.
It measures 96 x 47 x 14.9 millimetres and weighs 96 grams - that’s almost exactly the same as the F305. Its battery is good for 8 hours of talk or up to 480 hours of standby life. Music listening time is around 12.5 hours.
The W395 will be available in “selected markets” in 2 colours - Dusky Grey and Blush Titanium from the first quarter of the year.
