Sony Ericsson W705 – a new music phone

The rumor last month, about a new Walkman phone, code-named Rika, is now proved. The only difference is the announcement date, but this is a thing of the past, as today, Sony Ericsson introduced the latest addition to its music series, the W705.


Sony Ericsson W705

The first thing that grabs our attention is the presence of Wi-Fi, which makes the slider the first non-smart Walkman with such function and the second in the series, after the W960. W705 is made out of metal, has an accelerometer and a 3.2-megapixel camera. Doesn’t sound bad, does it? Oh, and let’s not forget, it supports fast 3G (HSPA) network, so Internet browsing should always be great. The manufacturer touts it for the sound quality, which should be as good as the high-class W980, which performed excellent in our tests (expect a full review, soon). With these functions, W705 easily slips in the higher part of the music series.

In addition to the new Walkman, Sony Ericsson announced the MBS-900, 2.1 Bluetooth audio system with unique design and built-in FM Radio. It was also heavily praised by Sony Ericsson for its sound quality, which should be Hi-Fi.

well i paid $127 for the 580i with a contract renewal a year after it came out, so your guess is as good as mine.

Why are you guys complaining about Sony Ericsson phones looking the same? Are you going to have 3 SE's at the same time with you? Just look at the phone- it looks exquisite, so slim even for a slider. Have a look at the nifty details implemented which is the forte of this phone manufacturer and which I doubt is possessed by any other. I'm just awestruck at the design and being a huge Walkman phone I would certainly love to have it. Who wouldn't want to flaunt such a beautiful phone! Then again, I don't think it needs flaunting, it would certainly grab eyeballs.
