Sony Ericsson W760i review:Walkman Meets GPS

Sony Ericsson W760 made a name for being the first Sony Ericson phone to offer an integrated GPS receiver. With a large QVGA display, stereo speakers, Media Center and the 3 megapixel camera on top, the W760 packs a nice punch. It's an exciting slider that may look no-thrills on the outside, but has all the prospects of becoming a bestseller.

Key features
Quad-band GSM support
Tri-band HSDPA
Built-in GPS receiver
3 megapixel camera with geotagging
Walkman player with Shake control and SensMe
Media center
Stereo speakers
FM radio with RDS
YouTube integration
2.2" QVGA TFT display
M2 memory card slot (1GB card included)
Stereo Bluetooth
Built-in motion sensor

Main disadvantages
No video-call camera
Camera has basic portrait interface and no autofocus
Poor legibility under direct sunlight

Integrated stereo speakers are not impressive neither in sound qiality, nor in loudness
Expected in Q2 2008 Sony Ericsson W760 may as well make this summer hotter. It's got nearly all the high-end Walkman stuff. Right from the very first moment we saw it, we were struck by the resemblance to Sony Ericsson W850. Both handsets share pretty much the same size, form factor and market positioning, so we think it's a safe bet the W760 is the true successor of W850, bringing the best of the Walkman range to the current Sony Ericsson lineup.

For starters, the W760 takes advantage of the proprietary Sony Ericsson Media Center enabling users to organize and enjoy all their multimedia files, be it music, video, photos, games or streaming content such as YouTube. The Sony Ericsson Media Center offers ease-of-use and rich functionality unmatched by current feature phones on the market.

The user experience with the Media Center is further enhanced by the built-in accelerometer that enables screen auto rotation, as well as Shake control. Speaking of multimedia, the W760 packs in the latest Walkman 3.0 player and even supports the SensMe mood recognition feature that allows creating playlists based on mood and tempo.

On top of that, you also get the benefit of the integrated GPS receiver - you can use it to geotag your photos, work out with the Tracker fitness application or use turn-by-turn navigation and Points of Interest search.

Sony Ericsson W760 will be available in three different color versions: Rocky Silver, Fancy Red, and Intense Black. We had the grey/silver one for a review. A definite thumbs-up for the 1GB memory card in the retail package, though we've seen Walkmans ship with 2-gig cards.

Sony Ericsson T650 review: T-Series refueled

The exciting new Sony Ericsson T650 pleases the eye, in a wink. A far descendant of the legendary Sony Ericsson T610/T630, the T650 is dressed to kill and packs in some serious high-tech ammo. It's all there - 3G, TFT display with QVGA resolution, stereo Bluetooth, FM radio, a cracking 3 megapixel camera - and all those are fitted into a bar-shaped handset measuring only 12.5 mm in thickness. You may have heard of Sony Ericsson W880, well… meet his big brother. A serious promise, indeed! But we at GSMArena.com rarely take things for granted - join us as we get our hands all dirty while we put the Sony Ericsson T650 through its paces.

Main features
Slim and stylish
TFT display with a QVGA resolution
3 megapixel autofocus camera with LED flash
Memory card slot with hot-swap support
3G support with video calls
Walkman-style music player
FM radio

Main disadvantages
Only 16MB internal memory
No EDGE
Records video in the inadequate QCIF (176 x 144 pixels) resolution only

An inspiring example of how a modern bar-shaped mobile should look, the Sony Ericsson T650 impressed us as soon as we set our eyes on it. The comparison to the Sony Ericsson T610/T630 will obviously be totally out of place here, since these handsets are more than outdated. You can look at the appearance of the T650 as more of a revival of the T-series, slammed into oblivion by the K-series. The probable reason for placing this new contender in the T-series could be that the K-series will be reserved for Cyber-shot handsets. Who knows! When we look around for competition, it is more than obvious that the T650 will be hitting hard on the Sony Ericsson W880 market share. We did like Sony Ericsson W880 when we reviewed it several months ago - at just 9.5 mm it surely looked the part. The Sony Ericsson T650 obviously hasn't been on the same diet, but at only 12.5 mm thickness and with a sleek metallic finish, it doesn't lose on looks either. Furthermore, it outperforms the W880 on a number of aspects. The Sony Ericsson T650 is a clear winner when it comes to comparing specs, but rest assured, we won't just rely on that. It's time that we roll up our sleeves and get on with project "Sony Ericsson T650 review".
