Sony Ericsson W960 - the iPhone killer?

Link: Review: Sony Ericsson W960 (MobileBurn)

Following on from the post about new Sony Ericsson handsets the other day, MobileBurn have got the goss on the ‘iPhone killer’ W960 walkman phone.

Sony Ericsson has announced the new W960 Walkman handset in a barrage of handset announcements from Berlin today. Packing the Symbian/UIQ smartphone UI combination, the Sony Ericsson W960 is the evolution and coming of age of the manufacturer’s Walkman range.

Similar to Apple’s iPhone, the Sony Ericsson W960 sports 8GB of on board memory and a 2.6″ 262k color, QVGA resolution touch screen display. This means up to 700 albums worth of music can be stored on the device and navigated with the new Walkman Touch player. Bluetooth with A2DP stereo headset support is also included to allow wireless enjoyment of your music. Sony Ericsson’s TrackID feature has also been beefed up in the latest Walkman range, with detailed information on artists and albums being delivered with the touch of a button.

And it’s 3G too, unlike the iPhone. And does MMS, unlike the iPhone. And is available on most networks or unlocked with no contract, unlike the iPhone. It has a proper keyboard, unlike the iPhone. I won’t go on comparing the two, but it’s clear Apple have got a few challengers in the market.
