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.

dah gw vote bro...

thanks. hehe. gw lagi bikin 1 lagi. gw pribadi lebih suka yg ini .bikin 2 aja deh

vote me if you like me

1 lagi:

vote if you liked it

pengen bikin 1 lagi yg macho. tapi belum ada gambarnya

Wah, keramean pada bikin style-up yah di tret ini.

Oke, gw ngereview aja dah. Heheheh.

Bentuk, trnyata ini lebih tipis tapi lebih lebar dr w980.
Model clamshell kyk gini sebenernye gw ga suka, gw lebih suka ala motorazr, tp trnyata fine2 aja nih. Hoho.

Layar dalem terang abis. Enak bgt. Lebih terang dari w902. Mgkn gara2 ga ada light sensor kali yah. Layar luar standar lah. Rada ngingetin ama w380 kalo mnurut gw.

Keypadny lega banget, gw yg tdnya biasa make w902 mulanya rada kewalahan, tp skarang udh enjoy.

Yg bikin gw kagum sih ya a200 generasi terbarunya hape ini. Settingsny ga tabbed lg. Messagingny jg beda. Lebih smooth rasanya. Multitasking walkman ama ngapain aja, ga selemot a200 sebelum2ny (sebut saja w910, w760, w902).

Buat ngegame juga enak, ga lemot, lebih lancar.

Walkmannya mah standar, versi 3 biasa, pake megabass. Gw coba pake hpm 77, gw bandingin ama hpm 64 bawaan, kenapa suarany lebih enak yg hpm 64 yah?

Ada yg salah ama kuping gw nih kykny -_-

Kamera, yah, bgitu lah. Makanya w902 gw msh gw simpen. Gantinya kamdig. Hoho.

Palagi yah? Ntar disambung lg lah.

@super
weks, madonna dah turun ke 2.6jt ????
padahal baru beli 1 setengah bulan yg lalu dengan harga 2.999jt
tragis amat nasib madonna.

itu harga madonna di SESC ato counter hp biasa?
bro super sekarang make hape apa aja?
oia, dapet casing tambahan buat britanny berapa?
yg bisa diganti cuma casing depan aja kan?

@tekim
Gw bliny di konter hape temen sih. Itu w980 aslinya 2,7 tp ad potongan 100rb kt si spg.
Gw skarang hape pake dua, w902 ama w508. Pake patti kalo mau moto ama musik aj. Pake brittany kalo telp, sms, ngegame, ama internetan.

Style up cover sih emang cuma dapet depan doang. Sebenernya mah kover batere belakang juga bs diganti kalo mw ama kalo ada barangny. Hoho.

Bug kali? Belon nemu yg parah.. Palingan cuma kalo ngeplay di walkman, judulny kepotong...

@super
kalo di fb, dipanggil buggy, karena emang sejenis serangga yg mematikan dan meyerang ponsel, hahaha
kepotong di layar utamanya?
ato di layar luarnya?
ada acceloremeternya gak?

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

Kepotongnya di layar dalem... Layar luar, pas nyetel walkman cuma nongol artis ama judul aja...

Udah cuma itu aja kyknya..
Belon ngerestart sama sekali loh!
