tn_Sony_W950.jpgMove over N91. The Sony Ericsson W950 Walkman Cell Phone is here. It's one phone you would love to flaunt. As Sony Ericsson says, "The Sony W950’s design will turn the heads of the most avid style aficionados." It's ultra-slim, ultra-stylish, and is finished in Mystic Purple, fingerprint-proof matt with orange accents. Orange back-lighting brings the music keys to life in a stunning, yet practical way.

The Sony Ericsson W950 is heaven on earth for music lovers. A massive 4GB storage module onboard the phone should have you tapping away for hours. You can store approximately 4000 songs on this phone. Downloading your songs onto the Sony W950 is more pleasure than pain. You can use the bundled Disc2Phone media management software to transfer audio files from your PC. Because it's UMTS compatible the W950 can do snappy direct-to-phone transfers from your operators’ download services. Once on the phone, the new graphic-rich interface makes it a breeze to navigate your collection. You can even search visually by browsing through album covers using the stylus and touch screen. I am impressed.

It's more than just about music. The Sony Ericsson W950 is a tri-band GSM phone with GPRS (Dual Mode UMTS 2100). It can easily run the entire gamut of mobile applications from messaging, web browsing, push email, video streaming, to 3D gaming. You can even employ the 4GB of storage to take important data with you. It's a very capable device that you can invest in without a second thought.
