Sony Ericsson W715 Walkman
The last Walkman phone
Sony Ericsson has launched is the W715. And, as expected, this Walkman will be just a little better than its predecessors. Besides delivering your favorite music while you’re on the go, it will also offer you GPS support which means you will be able to make the most of the services available near you. Vodafone is going to pick the W715 and it will offer you turn-by-turn pedestrian or driving navigation with
Vodafone Find&Go. As for music, the W715 will come with the same features as the W980 has. You should expect crystal clear sound, the TrackID and SenseMe applications. The Shake Control function is also there which means you can change tracks with a twist of the wrist. And Vodafone Music is also going to be present.
You should expect the phone to arrive from Vodafone and other markets in Q1 but specific arrival dates and prices are going to be announced at a later date. The phone will come in those fancy named colors I like: Galactic Black and Luxury Silver. And here’s what we’re going to find inside of a W715 Walkman:
- aGPS increases the precision of location-based services (LBS)
