It's been a full day for Sony Ericsson, with a large number of launches, including mobile phones, accessories and even applications. Probably one of the most impressive devices among all others that have been unveiled today is the W960 Walkman phone model.

It might be interesting for many to know that this Sony Ericsson W960 handset works on Symbian OS platform. Moreover, it offers the highest performances coming from a Walkman phone and not only.

Sony Ericsson has received high appreciation for their lines of Walkman phones until now and the company is expecting to reach at least the same results with the W960 model. "You couldn't ask for a better music mix of high performance media player and intuitive phone. The touchscreen is complemented by a regular keyboard and the phone itself is amplified by the Media Manager programme and the many music accessories. The days of taking an MP3 player, a camera and a phone with you when you leave the house are definitely over", said Nicklas Sivander, Product Manager for the W960 Walkman phone at Sony Ericsson.

What the W960 phone has so special is closely related to its music rendering performances. This device is capable of storing up to 700 albums and offers PC transfer of 1GB in less than 3 minutes through its USB cable.

This handset also features the highest capabilities coming from current mobile devices. The touch screen feature is a highly regarded one, especially in the case of a Walkman phone, as it features fast access to the playlist and easy file browsing. Moreover, this cell phone comes with an impressive internal memory of 8GB. That's 1GB less than what people expected to see from Sony Ericsson's releases today, but still a breakthrough capacity for mobile phones.

Other specifications for this phone model also include a 3.2 megapixel camera with auto focus in order to make pictures sharper. Even more, picture messaging and email capabilities make it easy for the user to share all these photos with friends in no time.

Sony Ericsson W960 will be available beginning with the fourth quarter of this year. No price has been yet specified for this phone model.
