Sony Ericsson has revealed up its Walkman line with opening of the W980, a pretty well power-packed flip sporting with 8GB of built-in flash memory to hold most users’ whole collections without needing an external card. Technology replicates the music player interface in its entirety on the external display, allowing full player control without popping the phone open.
The W980 Walkman® phone is designed to allow you to listen to music as it should be heard. Clear stereo enables the music to sound like the original recording. Clear bass delivers distortion free sound even at higher volumes. These features combine with the premium headphones, the Stereo Portable Handsfree HPM-77, to deliver an incredible clear audio experience and music that sounds as true as possible to the original recording.
The W980 Walkman® phone has a built-in FM transmitter, which allows you to send whatever’s playing on your phone to other devices with a built-in FM radio receiver.
Whether listening via the headphones or the stereo speakers, the W980 Walkman® phone is a must-have for those who want an unrivalled music experience, which they carry with them every minute of the day. It is a UMTS/HSDPA 2100 GSM/GPRS 850/900/1800/1900 phone that will be available in selected markets from Q3 2008. The Stereo Portable Handsfree HPM-77 will be available in selected markets from June 2008.
