Vodafone & Sony Ericsson Announce the GPS Enabled W715 Walkman Phone

January 8, 2009 6:23 PM | Sony Ericsson | Comments (0)

Sony Ericsson announces that soon Vodafone customers will be able to use the GPS enabled W715 Walkman  phone to make the most of location-based services.  Aside from turn-by-turn pedestrian or driving navigation available using Vodafone Find&Go, customers will be able to find their nearest restaurants, hotels or shopping centres all within a few clicks on their new mobile phone.

The W715 Walkman phone features the same superior sound quality as the W980 Walkman phone, which was rated ‘best audio experience’ in independent tests.

On the top of premium music experience with crystal clear sound, the W715 includes popular Walkman features such as the music recognition application TrackID, SensMe for matching your mood to the music, and Shake Control to change tracks with the flick of a wrist. All this provides for a premium Music experience, fully integrated with Vodafone Music, allowing easy access to single and album downloads.

The W715 Walkman phone is much more than a music phone. Its metal finish combines with a large screen in an elegant and compact slider for a professional feel. The inclusion of a 3.2 Megapixel camera and Wi-Fi connectivity allows users to snap photos of friends, and quickly upload them to social networking sites for all to see.

The Vodafone exclusive Sony Ericsson W715 Walkman phone will be available in Galactic Black, and Luxury Silver. Country availability will be announced in due course.
