The W960 was unveiled in June 2007 and marks a next generation of Walkman® phones. With room for up to 8,000 songs* and finger-touch navigation around playlists on the large touch screen, the days of taking an MP3 player and a phone with you are definitely over. The 2.6" display also serves as an excellent viewfinder for a 3.2 megapixel camera and as a widescreen for watching video in TV quality.
"The W960 has been generating a lot of consumer excitement since the day it was announced," says Ben Padley, Head of Music Product Group at Sony Ericsson. "As the next instalment in our hugely popular Walkman® phone series, we are confident that this music mix of 3G phone, Walkman® player and quality camera will prove to be a hit, and a great complement to the rest of the range."

And when you're on the move, the MDS-65 runs on batteries so you can use it anywhere you like - from barbecue to beach. With its sleek, futuristic silver finish, it can't help but draw admiring glances. The Sony Ericsson W960 Walkman® phone is UMTS 2100-GSM/GPRS 900/1800/1900 and will be available in Vinyl Black from November 2007.
