13 April 2010

Sony Ericsson Zylo™ with Walkman™ and Sony Ericsson Spiro™ with Walkman™, Sony Ericsson’s next generation of Walkman™ phones, offer an affordable entry point into Sony Ericsson’s Communication Entertainment portfolio

April 13, 2010 – London – Sony Ericsson today announces a new duo which continues the iconic award-winning* Sony Ericsson Walkman™ phone legacy. With more than 130 million Walkman™ phones sold worldwide, Sony Ericsson now adds two affordable Walkman™ phones to its portfolio – without compromising on features.

Sony Ericsson Zylo™ and Sony Ericsson Spiro™ provide consumers with the best music experience they have come to expect from Walkman™ phones but go one step further and marry music with social networking. From Twitter™ to Facebook™, consumers can catch up with friends at just a touch of a button while still listening to their favourite music on the Walkman™ player. Another key function available on both phones is TrackID™ – which allows consumers to access the name and artist of a track they hear playing wherever they are. This function has proved popular with music lovers world-wide with 129million TrackID™ lookups in 2009 alone.

Sony Ericsson Zylo™ and Sony Ericsson Spiro™ also feature the human curvature design that is now consistent across the whole Sony Ericsson portfolio. Beautiful and timeless human curvature also incorporates an ergonomic keypad which makes the handset easy to use.

“The Sony Ericsson range of Walkman™ phones has seen tremendous success since it was first launched in 2005 having sold more than 130 million handsets to date – and we are still seeing a great appetite from consumers. Today’s announcement aims to satisfy this demand by making the Walkman™ phone range available to a wider audience.” Said Jenny Maltesson, Marketing Business Manager at Sony Ericsson.

“By combining the best of the Walkman™ functionality with a myriad of social networking capabilities, Sony Ericsson Zylo™ and Sony Ericsson Spiro™ offer consumers the chance to access and get a taste of what our Communication Entertainment portfolio has to offer.” Concluded Maltesson.

Entah kenapa, aku lebi suka Zylo.
aku suka sama human curve.

tapi si Zylo nampak kurang "musicphone"

masak kalah ama adeknya yg dah dkasih jack 3.5 mm, ama micro usb connector...
trus Zylo ga AF..duh, nanggung juga...coba klo dilengkapin itu semua...
pasti mantep deh si zylo...

ini dua2nya aseli made by SE kan yah...?bukan outsource...??

Iya aneh juga.
Spiro yang low-end dikasih microUSB sama 3.5 mm jack sedangkan Zylo yang spek-nya lebih tinggi masih fastport.

Spiro: kalo gak Sagem ya Arima...
Zylo: SE beneran.

Ternyata Zylo untuk urusan musik jadi yang paling canggih lho... karena udah support HD FLAC audio format, a high-quality lossless audio codec.

Social networking dan chatting pake T9 keypad? Err... oookayyy....

iya..Zylo keypad nya mana sih??

trus maksudnya * Stay connected with Facebook™ and Twitter™ itu apa ya di Zylo?

ada feature khusus gitu ?

lucu sih hpnya...spiro belakangnya mirip X10 mini.....naga2nya ga lama lagi SE ngumumin versi high end nya dari nih 2....

Chaca silvernya keren banget

Kapan ya kira2 keluarnya?

Sayang msh pake fastport, tp kalo harga awal 1.5 jt-an boleh juga tuh, layarnya dah luasss bgt.

UI nya dah beda lg ya? tambah keren kynya,tp secara model masih gitu2 aja
fastport kok masih ikutan nebeng jg tu?

wach akhirnya ada juga kelanjutan walkman series....
yup kayanya lebih menarik zylo biarpunspecnya sediit di bawah spiro, tp dgn keunggulang khusus di HD FLAC audio format yg kayanya bakalan menarik tuch...

hooh,yg zylo nanggung yah?masih pake fastport pulak.tapi UI barunya keren...pake fitur clear audio experience lagi.yg spiro kayaknya ngga ada kan?

duh, nanggung lagi sih SE klo bkin hape2 kyk gini....
masak kalah yg bikinan sagem yang udah lebih hape musik walaupun fitur masih ecek2....

ini udah official yah bro TRO..??
sayangnyaa....hehe

Zylo styling navigation padnya mirip Hikaru
Udah ada Clear Audio kan?
Berarti mid end pertama nih yang support Clear Audio
Spiro ini berarti jadi hp outsourcing SE yang paling canggih dong?(Xperia series lewatin aja )
Btw, kok threadnya gabung?

perkiraan harga 109€ (Spiro™)/179€ (Zylo™) di Jerman. masuk sini mungkin lebih murah dari ini.

kalo di rupiahin berapa tuh bro...

fitur music-nya ok juga tapi kok modelnya itu gak keren banget

Pilih yang ga pake fastport aja..

mungkin Zylo tetep pake fastport supaya karena (harap2 cemas) dipaketin ama MH-907 dan Speaker Stand MS410...
klo beneran, gw bakal beli Zylo nih.. apalagi support HD FLAC (lossless & clear audio experience? gak perduli dah klo masih fastport... cari macamnya HPM-70/77 aja biar nanti bisa ganti kepalanya )

Layarnya Zylo beneran 2,6 inch? Segede P1i / M600i / W960 / W950 brarti layarnya donk? Apa HPnya jd ga ikutan kegedean ya?
