14 DAY TRIAL // Orange has recently presented its lineup for the end of this year. The company is strongly targeting towards those looking for entertainment with the release of several music phones. Some of the most evolved ones are part of Sony Ericsson's Walkman series, which certifies them as being capable of bringing the best quality.
Sony Ericsson W910i and W580i are the most evolved ones and both come in similar shapes, but also bring some subtle differences. What they hold as common grounds is the capability of replacing an MP3 player at some of the best performances that mobile phones can reach.
What the two devices share is the 2 megapixel camera that will manage to provide only average quality image, without anything out of the ordinary. Still, the W910i also has a secondary camera for placing video calls, as this is a 3G enabled device and the W580i is not. The two phones also share the same 240 x 320 pixels resolution, although the W910i has a large 2.4 inch screen, opposed to the 2 inch one, belonging to its lineup brother.
Sony Ericsson W580i is available in three colors of Style White, Urban Grey and Boulevard Black. It also has an FM radio with RDS, as any respectable music phone. Other than that, connectivity is available through GPRS, EDGE, Bluetooth and USB too. It can also send emails, one feature that many people will appreciate.
Sony Ericsson W910i has to bring several capabilities over what the W580i music phone is capable of providing. This device brings data transfer speeds of up to 3.6Mbps through HSDPA and also has Walkman 3.0 player installed. Its internal memory almost doubles, at 40 MB, although the Memory Stick Micro will take care of most of this phone's storage space.
The two Sony Ericsson Walkman phones are targeted towards the younger audience and will be released in October at Orange UK.
