While the phone's been on the market since about a month, Sony Ericsson has now officially launched its W960i Walkman phone that flaunts a touch-screen display, 8GB memory, and Walkman media player among others.

Weighing around 119 grams, the W960i sports a slender 16mm frame, and allows you experience music with either the touch of a finger or a stylus. With 8GB of built-in flash memory, the phone is claimed to store up to 700 albums or 8,000 songs.

The touch-sensitive 2.6-inches 262K color TFT (240 x 320 pixels) display serves as a super screen for watching videos or browsing the Web using 3G network or Wi-Fi connectivity. It doubles as viewfinder for the built-in 3.2 mega pixels camera with auto-focus. The W960i allows picture messaging and email/picture blogging, and supports TV-quality video playback at 30 frames per second (fps).

Significantly, the phone sports 160MB phone memory with 8GB built-in flash memory, and promises up to 25 hours of music listening time. Tracks can be managed using Media Manager while you can build your music collection in three simple steps with PlayNow. In keeping with the tradition of Sony Ericsson Walkman phones, the W960i packs a Walkman Media Player with support for MP3, AAC, and eAAC+ music file formats.

While the W960i incorporates Sony Ericsson's TrackID feature just like other Walkman phones, in this iteration of phone, the TrackID feature has been taken to the next level, where it is possible to get detailed information about a particular song identified. Also, newer ways to search have been added.

The UMTS 2100-GSM/GPRS 900/1800/1900 Sony Ericsson W960i is available in Vinyl Black color for Rs 28,995 across India. The phone package comes with an included stereo portable hands-free.

i hve owned this phone lat wek and this phone lets ur thoughts down due to its usage capability.my opinion about this phone is to avoid buying this coz after you buy u'll find that the display was stucking in your hands and it is attracted to scratches and the best thing is about music is its really lovable..camera was also acceptable..it was 3.2MP

more than the competition from any Nokia stuff, it faces stiff competition from the LG Viewty. Almost all frequently used features in Viewty are better than this chic. Viewty comes for 19,500 whereas this is priced at a scorching 26,800 (prices are in pune). So take ur pick carefully..

If this phone needs to compete with Nokia N95, they should increase the MP of the built-in camera. 5 MP of Nokia wins over 3.2MP . But looks slick and iPhonish in style. I'm not sure whether it has a memory card slot... if it does then its a value add.

What do you require more than 8GB, it has onboard 8GB, thats more than enough for any user.
