21 April, 2011
Sony Ericsson has just announced its first phone from the Walkman series to run Android (or the other way around). By the looks of it, the W8 is an XPERIA X8, but with a bit of fancy colors and a WALKMAN logo...

These are the following d merits which i found with S E W8 phone.....
1.no equiliser in the audio player(walkman).
2.the volume in speaker is bit low and also in headset is bit louder(its not that good to here continuos music as the sound kinda breaks at the max volume).
3.only qwerty keyboard and no alpha-numeric keyboard as the beginners to this kind ll face difficulty in typing msgs at a fast rate.

                                    Isn't everyone missing the point here? This is a Walkman phone that will be launched at a low price. The Xperia X8 that it uses as a base wasn't such a bad phone, was just out speced by the competition at that price range. Cue W8, walkman rebranding, fresh lick of paint and a much lower price tag thanks to most of the development cost already absorbed by the X8 and voila, a decent cheap pay as you go phone, that just happens to also be a music player and just happens to run Andoid apps. Sony lost touch with the market? I don't think so, just aiming for a different consumer than their Xperia line-up..

                                      That's it !!!!
                                      And the fact is these differences hardly matterz.
                                      OS upgrade was must but still 2.1 that no fair atleast 2.2
                                      or 3.0 needed to compete the market.

                                      Sound quality is same, now what will change: Price tag :P

                                        I'm currently using an X8 so there's no reason for using the same sys n os for this w8.Just install an power amp app from the mrkt n I can get a better wlkman...It should come with froyo or gingerbread to compete!!
