New Walkman handset launched

Sony Ericsson has unveiled a new addition to its popular Walkman range of mobile phones.

The W395 handset allows music fans to listen back to their favourite songs stored on the device’s 1GB memory card either through its built-in stereo speakers or its HPM-64 headset.

It also includes FM radio and TrackID technology, as well as a two-megapixel camera, up to 2.5x digital zoom and video recording facilities.

Alexandre Cardon, global product marketing manager at Sony Ericsson, said the W395 "is a mobile phone that caters to all their needs with great music quality".

He added: "Our most affordable Walkman slider phone to date allows users to share music with friends as well as video clips and photos for the ultimate entertainment experience."

Sony Ericsson recently unveiled its new C903 Cyber-shot.

As well as including a five-megapixel camera, the device also features a sliding lens cover designed to protect its in-built photographic technology.
