08 January 2009

Show your style with the customisable W508 Walkman™ phone. With eight changeable Style-Up™ covers to choose from as well as SensMe™, consumers can personalise the W508 to suit their mood and get a real hands-on interactive experience

Las Vegas, USA – January 7, 2009 – Enjoy music the way you want it with the W508 Walkman™ phone. Consumers can have the most interactive mobile experience as individual as they are, with clever technology such as Shake and Gesture control, SenseMe™ and TrackID™, as well as one extra Style-Up™ cover with the W508.

“The W508 Walkman™ phone builds on our iconic Walkman™ range and the successful W380.” said Alexandre Cardon, Global Product Marketing Manager (music) at Sony Ericsson. “For those who like to express their style and individuality through their mobile phone we’ve brought our creative design team in to design stylish changeable covers so that W508 offers a truly interactive and individual experience.”

Shake control and Gesture control allows you to become your own DJ with just a flick of your wrist – raise the volume or set the shuffle function by giving your phone a quick shake. Is that alarm getting to you? Switch it to snooze or mute the volume with a sweep of your palm without having to fumble for the off button.

The W508 also includes popular Walkman™ features such as SensMe™, for matching your mood to the music and touch keys on top to play, stop and skip tracks. A 3.2 megapixel camera, HSDPA and 1GB M2 card completes the W508 offering for any trend setter.

Can’t get that song out of your head but have no idea what it’s called? Use TrackID™ with text search and you’ll have the answer at a touch of a button. Also available on the W508 is PlayNow™ arena which provides a full range of mobile entertainment downloadable from your handset - unique themes and wallpapers, traditional and specially developed ringtones and music tones, a wealth of free content and of course DRM-free music tracks and TrackID™ charts from around the world.

Ada accelerometernya.. Ada front cam for vid call.. Makanya lebih worth dari Elle..

Acc jangan2 sama kyk madonna, cuma di layar eksternalnya aja....yg bikin logo walkman bisa muter2...
tapi kalo layar internalnya gak bisa acc, sama aja boong...
oia, kenapa selama ini front cam SE gak bisa buat foto diri ya ?

@shaoran
madonna gw gak bisa, yg bisa bebas gerak (dengan acc) cuma layar luar

btw, kemaren ke SE centre di cibuja, trus iseng2 berhadiah nyoba britanny
ternyata 1000% berbeda dari opini gw selama ini
nih testi gw selama nyoba dummy yg almost real :
1. bentuknya indah dan menarik --> lebar tapi tipis, nyaman di genggaman tangan, terkesan elegan
2. materialnya gak telalu terlihat plastik banget, malah bagus kok
3. mekanisme buka tutup flipnya smooth, beda sama madonna --> kalo madonna, di akhir terbukanya flip kyk ada semacam mekanisme yg beda, kyk bunyi krek *patah* gitu
tapi kalo britanny, lancar terus.
4. layarnya terkesan luas --> imo, kok serasa lebih luas britanny daripada madonna ya?
untuk fiturnya --> maap, bukan living unit sih

Layarnya sama2 2,2 inch

Cibuja di mana sih? Cibubut Junction maksudnya ya? Kok singkatannya aneh?

1. Menurut gw bentuknya jelek karena terlalu lebar, mengingatkan sama si legendaris pembawa kesuksesan sekaligus kehancuran sang marmot. Masih bagusan Madonna lah ke mana2 bentuknya, dan kalah jauh dari Z770
2. Kalau ini sih setuju, tapi gak berarti suka
3. Gak tahu ah. Tapi bukannya asik ada bunyi cetak cetuk pas buka tutup Madonna? Hehehe....
4. Perasaan aja kali...
