Enjoy your music in your style with the Sony Ericsson W508 Walkman™ mobile phone
08 January 2009
Show your style with the customisable W508 Walkman™ phone. With eight changeable Style-Up™ covers to choose from as well as SensMe™, consumers can personalise the W508 to suit their mood and get a real hands-on interactive experience
Las Vegas, USA – January 7, 2009 – Enjoy music the way you want it with the W508 Walkman™ phone. Consumers can have the most interactive mobile experience as individual as they are, with clever technology such as Shake and Gesture control, SenseMe™ and TrackID™, as well as one extra Style-Up™ cover with the W508.
“The W508 Walkman™ phone builds on our iconic Walkman™ range and the successful W380.” said Alexandre Cardon, Global Product Marketing Manager (music) at Sony Ericsson. “For those who like to express their style and individuality through their mobile phone we’ve brought our creative design team in to design stylish changeable covers so that W508 offers a truly interactive and individual experience.”
Shake control and Gesture control allows you to become your own DJ with just a flick of your wrist – raise the volume or set the shuffle function by giving your phone a quick shake. Is that alarm getting to you? Switch it to snooze or mute the volume with a sweep of your palm without having to fumble for the off button.
The W508 also includes popular Walkman™ features such as SensMe™, for matching your mood to the music and touch keys on top to play, stop and skip tracks. A 3.2 megapixel camera, HSDPA and 1GB M2 card completes the W508 offering for any trend setter.
Can’t get that song out of your head but have no idea what it’s called? Use TrackID™ with text search and you’ll have the answer at a touch of a button. Also available on the W508 is PlayNow™ arena which provides a full range of mobile entertainment downloadable from your handset - unique themes and wallpapers, traditional and specially developed ringtones and music tones, a wealth of free content and of course DRM-free music tracks and TrackID™ charts from around the world.

This will be one of cute fone for this year.
249 euros just quite expensive in my opinion.
199 will be reasonable for me.

But wow the lack of wifi really makes me want the 705 but i can live. I mean i love the style and thiness of the phone. And gaming should be better on this. But just by looking at this and the fact that we are going to start getting good quality clamshell phones this year makes me want a swivel to be out in Q2. |

Yes, wait for swivel too how it will be lovely?
But I think I can't afford that one. It would stay in High-End and costs me a lot, just somekind out of reach with swivel.
I definitely stay with W705.

I would too but id rather save 50 euros and get this. I mean W705 should be around 330 euros while this would range from 250-280. And should i get it immediately or wait a few months? I got the W760 immediately and well a couple(no wait yelo and that pink red purple girly theme) werent flash. And it was glitchy. Or do i go for it and just do updates and such and be all gloaty about it. I mean getting it before the school year ends is something i really want to do.
