Sony Ericsson late last week unveiled the Sony Ericsson Mix Walkman phone, which offers best in class music entertainment and the Sony Ericsson txt pro that offers seamless social networking functionalities facilitated by its full slide-out QWERTY keyboard and friends' application. Both phones integrate full touch functionality with a corner user interface similar to that available in the Xperia mini range. Packed with features the phones include cameras enabled with video recording and WiFi connectivity for chatting and browsing. Rudiger Odenbach, General Manager, Sony Ericsson Middle East, said: “Sony Ericsson understands the diverse needs of users and is constantly engaged in an innovative process to deliver the best offering. We are confident the new devices with the music and social media functionality will appeal to consumers who enjoy owning the phones with the latest entertainment features.” “The Sony Ericsson Mix Walkman provides a new and fun way to listen to music. It comes with a Zappin key to make it easy to search for your favorite song,” a press release from the company said. “Simply pressing the Zappin key allows preview of the chorus of the next track, offering the user an option to choose the favorite. A karaoke function also enables the vocal track from songs to be lowered instantly allowing you to sing along with your favorite tune.” The look and feel of the phones can be personalized with a range of exchangeable color bands that come with the phone. The Sony Ericsson txt pro combines a three-inch touch screen with a 3.2 megapixel camera and full slide-out QWERTY keyboard. Its integrated friends' application enables users to add their five best friends to see at a glance updates from their Facebook and Twitter feeds. The Sony Ericsson Mix Walkman™ and the Sony Ericsson txt pro will be available globally from Q3. BM
