Sony Ericsson Live with Walkman is one of the few Walkman series devices to feature Google’s Android platform. Unveiled back in October 2011, the smartphone is available for purchase in India for quite some time now.

 

However, Sony Ericsson India officially announced the availability of the device only today. The folks over at AndroidOS have learned that Sony Ericsson Live with Walkman can be purchased for only Rs 14,549 (300 USD or 225 EUR) outright and with a free premium headset.

 

In addition, those who purchase the smartphone via Aircel will also receive 2GB of data free for one month along with 3 hours of mobile TV, AndroidOS claims.

 

Although Sony Ericsson Live with Walkman is delivered with Android 2.3 Gingerbread on board, the handset maker confirmed plans to upgrade the smartphone to Ice Cream Sandwich sometime this year.

 

Aimed at music lovers, the smartphone features Sony xLOUD enhancement, TrackID music recognition and stereo speakers.

On the inside, Live with Walkman is equipped with a 1 GHz single core processor, 320 MB of internal memory, 512 MB of RAM and microSD card slot for memory expansion (up to 32GB, 2GB memory card included).

 

There’s also a 5-megapixel rear camera with autofocus, LED flash and HD (720p) video recording, as well as a VGA front-facing camera for video calls.

 

Live with Walkman comes with a 3.2-inch capacitive touchscreen display with scratch-resistant glass and support for 320 x 480 pixels resolution.

 

We are proud of our association with Aircel & Sony Music and through this collaboration, Sony Ericsson is enabling users to access the music on the new fully loaded Live with Walkman smartphone. With content from Sony Music and upto 2GB downloadable data for free, consumers can not only access music content, but also share this with their friends,” said P. Balaji, managing director, Sony Ericsson India.
