Another long-running internet rumour has been made real today, with official imagery of a Sony Ericsson Walkman phone appearing. There have been many Walkman-branded mobiles from Sony Ericsson over the years, but this is its first Android-powered model.
The W8 is a 3″ capacitive phone in an identical form factor the the budget Xperia X8, only given a colourful makeover and with the iconic Walkman logo stuck on the front. Specs are a little “entry level” with a 600MHz processor and 320×480 display – and Android 2.1.
We can’t find an actual press release from Sony Ericsson itself, but the W8 does appear to have been made official in Asia – and given a Q2 release date. Link via Phandroid.
Motorola’s latest flagship dual-core Android monster is a massive, original powerhouse, that’s a big improvement on previous MOTOBLUR mobiles – but still isn’t a total winner.
A slim and glamorous phone from Sony Ericsson, with the sharpest display around. It’s no powerhouse and the screen’s not the biggest out there, but we don’t mind. Because it’s cute.
LG’s first glasses-free 3D phone is a heavy, fat monster, with a clever 3D effect that works rather well. As a smartphone, though, it’s heavy and underwhelming.
A very shiny thing from Sony Ericsson, with a 3.7″ screen and Android 2.3.3 inside. But is it exciting enough to win fans in today’s spec-obsessed market? Can man live on one core alone?
INQ’s Android phone is an interesting “boutique” piece of hardware, packed with unique interface customisations that go far beyond the headline Facebook integration. We like it a lot.
