Bring your beat to the street with the new Sony Ericsson W205 Walkman™. The W205 makes the Walkman™ phone experience more accessible to consumers and is perfect for those who want all the classic Sony Ericsson mobile phone features while enjoying music on the go!

London – April 7, 2009 – Get the most out of your best music and favourite radio channels with Walkman™ player, FM radio and TrackID™ music recognition. The slider mobile phone comes with a complete package of entertainment features and the power to set up playlists to ensure you have the right music no matter the occasion. Share your tunes with friends via the speaker phone function – if you love your music they will too.

Need a change? Tune into the FM radio to listen to the latest news, music, sport commentary and talk shows. Heard something you like? Use TrackID™ to name that tune and artist, and you can even record a sample of a song from the radio to use as your new ringtone.

“The W205 is perfect for those who love portable music but have never had the Walkman™ phone experience.” said Timo Maassmann, Marketing business manager at Sony Ericsson. “The W205 is a stylish slider phone allowing you to enjoy your music wherever you are – whether it’s on the bus, at college or chilling in the park. You can also share more than music with the 1.3 megapixel camera. Capture the action in stills or video and send them to friends via MMS or via Bluetooth™. The multiple phonebook function is an added bonus - share your phone with your family but keep your contacts separate from theirs.”

Rasanya Arima bukan Sagem..
Sama seperti T303 yang resolusinya 128x160 begitu juga UI nya..
Kalo Sagem biasanya resolusinya 176x220..

kalo sagem mah...mending ambil t303, buat secondary doang ini

Gw coba bandingin antara W205 sama T303 berdasarkan spec di gsmarena. Perbedaannya antara lain :

- Network : W205 dual-band, T303 tri-band GSM, tapi W205 udah EDGE
- Ukuran : W205 lebih panjang tapi lebih tipis dari T303, W205 lebih berat 3 gram
- Phonebook : 1000 contacts multiple number di W205 (T303 cuma 500, gak tahu multiple field atau gak)
- Memory : internal W205 hanya 5MB (T303 8 MB), tapi W205 udah support external memory M2
- W205 bisa rekam video, T303 gak bisa

Satu lagi :
W205 bakal dikasih pre-installed Opera Mini Web Browser.

emg apa lebihnya si T303 sma yg ini,dr posting om tro diatas,ada 2 point penting kelebihan neh hp drpada T303,vid recording,slot M2.kyaknya ini jawaban SE bwt para user yg nanyain kenapa W-series mid-low cam nya ngga dikasih video recording.trus klo bener Sagem,apa bedanya sma T303,sma2 bukan orisinil buatan SE kan(klo ngga salah buatan Arima yah T303).

Betul.. T303 juga Arima bukan SE asli..

Dari kemaren pada komplain Sagem jelek, emang Arima lebih baik?
Dari resolusi layar aja lebih 'mending' keluaran Sagem..
Belom juga denger komplain dari pengguna T303 sih, kelemahannya Arima apa.. Gak seperti kelemahan yang banyak dikomplain pengguna SE keluaran Sagem..
