A style for every occasion

The Z310i is just a s versatile as you are. Use it as a work tool during the day. Then leave the office, hit the night club and show off with cool light effects and sophisticated key backlight.

The clamshell Z310i is sleek and stylish, thanks to a “jetset black” finish with a white trim. The front of the handset has a glossy, almost mirror like surface that hides a monochrome external display. The display camouflages into the design of the Z310i when not in use, but appears white when activated. Conveniently, the Z310i uses a row of icon indicators above the screen; an arrow for missed calls, a letter for new messages, a lightning bolt for charging and a musical icon for silent mode. The Z310i also includes light effects, and users can also change themes at a specified time; day and night for example.

The Z310i comes with 14 Mbytes of built in memory & with a removable battery. The battery can provide up to seven hours of talk time & up to 300 hours of standby time from a fully charged battery. The Sony Ericsson Z310i can connect to the Internet & comes with an Access NetFront™ Internet browser. The built in Bluetooth® connectivity allows the user to connect their Z310i to any Bluetooth® compatible device & enjoy a wireless connection between devices of up to ten metres apart. The phone comes with a USB connection & infra red connection point which allows the user to connect to other devices which are compatible. The user can download data & transfer information using any of the connective options that the Sony Ericsson Z310i supports. The phone comes with EDGE technology which provides fast data transfer which are approximately three times faster than GPRS. The Sony Ericsson Z310i works over a tri band network which covers GSM 900, 1800 & 1900.

Adding to the striking design is a series of novel light effects that serve to both personalise the phone & allow the user to ¡¥colour code¡¦ their contacts. Simply assign a coloured light to your frequent callers and you will know instantly whether its work trying to reach you, your best friend fixing a date, or your mother calling to invite you to Sunday lunch! It is even possible to set the look and feel of the menu & screen display to match the time of day; a bright theme during the daytime and something more relaxing or subtle at night.

Touch’n'play Walkman® phone

Teh sleek W960i Walkman® phone impresses with its touch display and 8GB momory. You can have all the music you want - literally at your fingertips.

Sony Ericsson W960 is aptly the big gun in the Sony Ericsson portfolio of music-centered handsets. Gifted with the scorching 8GB of storage space and a large touchscreen TFT display, a 3-megapixel camera, Wi-Fi and 3G capabilities, the W960 easily stands out in the Walkman crowd. Powered by the Symbian OS and UIQ user interface, it delivers one-of-a-kind Walkman experience with rich fullscreen visualizations and advanced track filtering. All this is enough to have us drooling over the specs sheet, eager to get our hands on this smarty Walkman and see what it’s made of.

The Sony Ericsson W960i has a glossy black finish and weighs 119g which feels solid when held but still sleek and cool looking. The 3.2 mega pixel camera has LED flash and auto focus and delivers clear looking pictures though not quite good when compared with Sony Ericsson’s Cyber-shot line of phones. If you’re a fan of Ericsson’s Walkman series, then the Sony Ericsson W960i won’t disappoint. It delivers clear music plus with the additions of an RDS FM radio station, you can quickly browse any FM radio station if you get tired of listening to your playlists. Battery life is also quite good and I got around 18 hours of playback before I have to recharge.

Sony Ericsson has announced the new W960 Walkman handset in a barrage of handset announcements from Berlin today. Packing the Symbian/UIQ smartphone UI combination, the Sony Ericsson W960 is the evolution and coming of age of the manufacturer’s Walkman range.
Listen up The Sony Ericsson W960i Walkman® phone really is the centrepiece of your music listening life, which is why both a stereo portable handsfree and a Stereo Bluetooth™ headset for music streaming are included with the phone. When you want more, the new Street-style Portable Handsfree HPM-83 adds urban style to the W960. Its flexible neckband gives a secure fit and wraps behind the head, so as not to get in the way if you¡¦re running or at the gym. If you want to share your music library with friends, the Bluetooth™ Music Receiver MBR-100 plugs into your home stereo and lets you stream tracks directly from the phone to your stereo¡¦s speakers. Why keep it to yourself?

Putting you in touch with the world

A touchscreen and stylus is the perfect way to operate this 3G phone with massive, 4GB music storage and fast, full-colour, full-screen Internet.

The number pad has grown on me. It’s not completely flat; there are some raised bumps (almost like Braille marks) for each key so you can locate the keys without looking (something a perfectly flat keypad could never manage). Given that this bump is in the centre of the key, while the number is on the left of the ‘strike area’ (and letters on the right) it makes more sense to type blind than watching your fingers, as you tend to focus on the numbers and miss hitting the centre. Great for a few words or phone numbers, but for any reasonable amount of input you will be using the touch screen’s Jot character recognition, or relying on your Contacts database for email addresses. It really doesn’t improve with use.

The user will find surfing the Internet a very pleasurable & enjoyable experience with the help of the fast 3G technology. The phone comes with Bluetooth® wireless technology so therefore the user can connect wirelessly to any local Bluetooth compatible device & enjoy the wireless freedom. The W950i comes complete with Opera™ 8.0 which is the ultimate web browser & will provide the user with the Internet experience they have come to expect from their computer.

Apart from having no camera, the W950i is unusual in other respects. It’s also the slimmest smartphone on the market, at just 15mm thick, and is also a 3G phone. It’s compact and lightweight and feels just right in the hand. The W950i has a flat keypad, that is actually very easy to use, together with a jog dial and dedicated music player keys on the sides of the keypad for easy access to your music collection. In addition the W950i has a touchscreen and stylus that makes navigation a breeze. It also supports handwriting recognition. The screen is very large (2.6 inches across), is bright and sharp, and is brilliant for navigating, managing playlists, and viewing graphics. In fact this is one of the most ergonomic and user-friendly phones around, and is a real pleasure to use. Nevertheless you should still expect to have to spend some time learning to use all of the features on this device, simply because it has so many of them!
