The review many of you have been waiting for is finally finished! Sony Ericsson’s very own W715 has been described in detail by yours truly. What’s curious is that it’s actually a double review of the W705 and the W715, since they’re pretty much the same. There are also lots of photos, UI pictures and galleries. I would like to thank Michell for taking the photos of both the W715 and the C510 and for generally helping me out while I was composing the article.
So, we’re quite positive about the phone, really. It’s both elegant and sleek, has Wi-Fi and GPS and boasts superior audio quality. The price is also pretty adequate. Have a look right here:

And here we have yet another review straight from the GSMArena testing grounds. It’s about the mid-end W508 walkman clamshell - W980’s little sibling. Ther review is generally quite positive. They praise the sound quality (save for the frequency response), its overall functionality, considerigng it’s a mid-range phone, and the attractive price. Hit the source link to have a look at it.

Our large review of the upcoming Sony Ericsson W995 is finally online! Believe it or not, we started work on this review back in February, but because I’ve been rather busy we’ve not been able to publish it until now. Our review is based on prototype units running very early firmware versions. This means that some features either did not work or were missing, and our review will reflect this. Some sections of the review are rather short compared to our usual standards because of the prototype firmware, but we will naturally update the review with our thoughts of the retail version when it hits the stores in 2½ months.
I have yet to include screenshots in the review, but they’ll come soon. There are quite a few images to upload, and I thought you’d rather have the review without all the pictures early on. Many of the screenshots will be similar to the ones from the C510 and C905 review, so you can just check them out, if you want. In short, the W995 is Sony Ericsson’s best feature phone to date.

Just when you thought that they couldn’t go cheaper than the W395, Sony Ericsson did it again! The W205, ladies and gentlemen, is the result. A Walkman phone for the preschoolers. T303’s Walkman version, if you will.
It has an amazing 1.8″ TFT screen, supporting 65k colours and with a resolution of 128×160 pixels. So that rules out people with poor eyesight. The phone itself is 16mm thick, which makes it rather chunky. The height and the width compensate for that, being 92×47mm respectively.

Soo, what makes the W205 so special? Nothing. Well, apart from its relatively small size. It’s got Walkman v2, the dreadful Sagem interface (no themes!), Java games, FM radio, a 1.3MP camera on its back, allowing up to 2.2x digital zoom and video recording. Bluetooth is also there. Oh, also, unlike the T303, the W205 features a Memory Stick Micro M2 card slot.
In our opinion, this phone is awfully redundant. By the time of its release there will be much better last-gen phones selling for the same price (most probably). One could always buy it as a backup phone, I guess, or for their child. The expected release will be somewhere in Q2 this year, when the phone will ship in Ambient Black.
Also announced today is the MS410 Snap-on speaker. It supports all Walkman phones.
