Sony Ericsson W395 Walkman model

Today Sony Ericsson announced the latest model in the Walkman range. The W395 is a entry-level model claimed to the the most affordable Walkman slider phone to date

Even though the W395 is a entry-level model, you won't miss much in regards to music features such as Stereo speaker, album art, Equaliser, PlayNow, TrackID and Bluetooth stereo (A2DP). Expected retail price is not known, but it should be in the lower end of the price scale. The currently cheapest Sony Ericsson Walkman model W595 is available for around EUR 220. I think we could expect to see an introduction price around EUR 250 for the W395.

The affordable W395 also comes complete with dedicated control keys for managing your music, a 1GB memory card and an FM radio to keep users up to date with the latest tracks. Sony Ericsson favourite TrackID will help you find that elusive song, even if you're not sure of the name, while PlayNow provides a full range of mobile entertainment content downloadable from your handset – from unique themes and wallpapers to specially developed ring tones.
