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.

brarti emang udah banyak ya SE yg covernya ruber..
Ngomongin soal fisik hp, orang2 awam bakalan ngira kalo zylo,spiro,dan w395 adalah hp yg sama..desainnya gitu2 aja sih..
mirip..

Lah... emang orang2 kebanyakan bisa bedain gitu yang mana javeline, gemini, curve, bahkan jupe di blackberry?

IMO, BB yg modelnya mirip2 tuh:

Tour, Onyx, Gemini, dan skrg yg plg baru, si Keplar.

#jadi OOT

udah ada EAnya belom nih ???

hmm..gitu ya.. Kemiripan desain BB itu justru menguntungkan bwt pengguna BB yg cuma bisa beli yg ''low end'',tp org lain yg gk ngerti BB gk bsa bedain..kn bwt mreka yg penting keliatan 'wah',hehe..
*OOT,,

@bro tekim : belum ada ni.. Belum pernah jg liat org pake zylo/spiro scra lgsung..

@all: ane berkali2 dari dulu upload avatar kok gk pernah muncul ya pic nya? :s

^ mungkin emg ada bug dari fp om,banyak member baru yg juga ngga bisa upload pict buat avatar.

ane udah kirim mesage ke FP soal avatar tp blm diblz jg..
ane sih udah lama gabung fP,tp bru bbrp minggu blakangan aktif ngobrol..dulunya baca doank,hehe.
Spiro barangnya udah ada blm ni?

dah direview di tabloid puls* lho.. ayo EA nya mananich ada clear bass dan clear setero ndak

yg direview zylo apa spiro? Dites ya? Tp kdg2 puls* krg jelas reviewnya?

Yang direview di Pulsa itu Zylo.

di sinyal jg udah di review jg. Layar antigoresnya gak usah pake pelindung lg yah ?

Review pulsa katanya suara speaker gak terlalu kenceng, tapi kualitasnya bagus, bass sama treble terdengar jelas..tapi mereka nggak jelasin kualitas hf nya.. :P Tapi kadang2 pulsa kurang update info sih.. mereka seolah2 menyarankan SE buat bikin hp touchscreen murah.. mungkin belum tau info ttg Yendo..

kalo review di sinyal gmn?
