Sony Ericsson announces its first Android Walkman phone, the W8

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...

it is very unfortunate that SE is duplicating their phones. And the worst part is they will price it at higher level which is not worth it...

                  SE is crazy. how do they expect to sell a phone with android 2.1, when most of the phones releasing are android 2.3. It should have at least froyo. This phone can never sell, even if there is a Walkman logo.

                    damn SE!! you broke my heart..i really got excited when i read the news about new generation of walkman phone using android..but, how come they only put a small '168 ram' and outdated eclair! At least, give 256/512 ram and froyo.. pathetic!

                          They should have done this an year back, not now.......Also they wont compromise with its price. it will be more than 14000 INR. Whom they are cheating ????

                            Sony must have problem selling X8... that's why they "repackage" it into Walkman phone! The problem is people in asia also realize that... priced lower than X8 + decent headset, it might still sell...

                              Still 2.1 where and why r u going se?

                              Atleast it must be with 2.2 or 2.3

                                    So it's basically a LG GT540 with a capacitive screen and fancier exterior, what's the point?

                                        Also there should be more ram because the X8 slows down too much and task killer says 28mb of ram left!!!!!
