The long-awaited high-end UMTS handset, is finally available in Romania, as of today. W960i combines the qualities of an excellent phone with the ones of a high performance media player into one good-looking device that can satisfy any user’s communication and entertainment needs.
With its 8GB on-board memory, the W960i candybar proudly stands beside Apple’s iPhone and Nokia’s N81 and N95 models, providing the same huge storing capacity, enough for no less than 8,000 songs. The handset has a 2.6 inch color TFT Touchscreen, ideal for videos, games and web navigation (with the pre-installed Opera Mini browser). A 3.2 Megapixel camera with auto-focus is included to offer users good quality photos, comparable with the ones taken with some phones from Sony Ericsson’s Cyber-shot line. Morever, with the phone’s MMS and email capabilities, photos can be shared imediately with friends or family.
Sony Ericsson W960i is 3G and Wi-Fi enabled, thus providing excellent Internet capabilities. Being a music phone, W960i is equipped with a Walkman Touch player, FM radio and two headsets (one of them being the latest Bluetooth HBH-DS220). The handset can provide a total playing time of up to 27 hours.
“Market enthusiasm for the Walkman phone range has far outshone even our own expectations”, says Miles Flint, Sony Ericsson President. “With lifetime global sales standing at over 26.5 million Walkman phones and users really understanding the benefits of ‘music on your mobile’, the time is right to release the next album! This means Walkman phones that make it quicker and easier to transfer or download music, plus innovative ways of searching through all of those tracks. It’s also about thinking beyond music, to games, videos and the Web.”
Sony Ericsson W960i’s availability is great news for the Romanian mobile market, as it’s a phone that stands out and can compete with any other high-end multimedia handset. Its price is unknown yet, but it will be revealed pretty soon.
