Sony Ericsson W595 Linda Set to Replace the W580

The Sony Ericsson W580i is one of the best looking slider phones the company has produced in the last few years and it’s looking like it’s being succeeded by this, the W595. Pictures and details leaked onto the Internet this week confirm the presence of the Walkman 3.0 software and a 3.2 megapixel camera. Here’s the rundown of everything we know about it so far:

 A built-in accelerometer.
 An M2 memory card slot for plenty of media storage.
 A 3.2 megapixel camera.
 An FM radio.

Continuing with the decidedly non-geeky codename theme shared with the Sony Ericsson W902, the W595 is also known as Linda. Its slide form looks to be an evolution of the slick W580, but perhaps slightly thinner judging by the pictures. With the Walkman 3.0 software comes Shake Control seen on other Sony Ericsson handsets allowing track advance and shuffle to be operated by a flick of the phone, however, word is the accelerometer is a ‘3D’ one as opposed to the ‘2D’ in the W580. What this means will all become clear with the official announcement.

Also visible in the leaked pictures are stereo speakers, one above the earpiece and one on the base of the handset and the return of the intricate patterns on the base of the slider panel. Included in the A2 operating system software will be Google Maps. The official announcement was expected around the end of July but we have yet to hear anything official from Sony Ericsson.

Sony Ericsson R300 and R306 Radio Mobile Phones Announced and Review

Sony Ericsson one of the largest mobile company of the world introduce The new Sony Ericsson R300 Radio and R306 Radio place the first combined AM/FM radio experience at the heart of the cell phone.

Sony Ericsson 25 Jan announced the launch of two new mobile phones, the R300 Radio and R306 Radio, both designed to deliver a credible radio-listening experience to a global audience, and ideally suited to emerging markets such as India.

"The R300 Radio and R306 Radio allow you to tune-in to your favourite music shows or sports reports, across both AM and FM broadcasts," said Howard Lewis, Vice President and Head of Entry Level Products at Sony Ericsson. "They certainly look and sound the part, offering a radio-inspired design and feature set on a choice of either a candy bar or clamshell phone."

Tune-in to your favourite station

True radio design
Both of these new phones are designed to have a clear radio look-and-feel. Sit either phone on its side and let the radio blast out through the dedicated loudspeaker…in stereo in the case of the R306 Radio.

Preset buttons on the front of both the R300 Radio and R306 Radio let you switch easily between your favourite stations. It takes just one click to boost the volume when you want to share music on the radio or the live action from the sports ground.

These two phones really let you get the most from the radio. Set it as your alarm clock or record the final moments of your team's winning match and play back the commentary again and again. You can even record a clip of a song and use it as your ringtone.

Who sang that song?
TrackID™ is now a familiar feature on many of Sony Ericsson's high tier phones. It now comes as standard on both the R300 Radio and R306 Radio, turning listeners into instant music experts! Record a clip of a song from an external source, such as a sound system in a coffee shop or bar, and find out within seconds who sang it, the name of the track and which album it is from. All in just one click.

Play it loud!
With the R300 Radio you can listen-in via the stereo headphones provided or 'play it loud' thanks to the high performance speaker integrated into the phone. Switch on 3D sound enhancement or volume boost with the dedicated Audio Enhancer key on the phone.

True radio experience
The R306 Radio opens up into a clamshell with two integrated stereo speakers that face the listener. Again featuring the Audio Enhancer key, you can activate volume boost when listening to the radio through the speakers or 3D sound enhancement when you have the stereo headset plugged in, ensuring a first-class radio listening experience even when it is noisy around you. See which station you are tuned-in to on the phone's external display.

Perfect harmony
Both phones feature Bluetooth™ technology, allowing you to handle your phone calls handsfree with optional accessories such as the Bluetooth™ Headset HBH-PV703.

The R300 Radio offers a built-in VGA camera and the R306 Radio boasts a step-up to a 1.3 megapixel camera on-board. So whether you are listening to the radio or not, these two new phones are set to hit the right note.

The R300 Radio will launch in two colours: Antique Copper and Steel Black. It is a GSM/GPRS 900/1800/1900 phone that will be available in selected markets from Q2 2008. The R300a Radio is a GSM/GPRS 850/1800/1900 phone, available in the same timeframe.

The R306 Radio will launch in two colours: Coffee Black and Champagne White. It is a GSM/GPRS 900/1800/1900 phone that will be available in selected markets from Q3 2008.
