Introduction / Preview : Sony Ericsson W42S
With the WalkmanŽ Phone, approximately 30 hours of continuous playback, the longest of any mobile phone, has been made possible. It also supports LISMO (au LISTEN MOBILE SERVICE). The handset features 1 gigabyte of dedicated music memory, allowing storage of approximately 630 songs. Take lots of music with you wherever you go.
The Music Shuttle, which gives you total control of music playback operations, is built into the lower portion of the handset. Plus, each handset color comes with a matching remote control. Twist its grip around 360 degrees to make music and FM operation a breeze. Releasing the earphones is also easy with the sliding earphone cover.
The WalkmanŽ Phone includes the Shuttle Player, which displays visual images to match the style of song playing. Use it to check the playing status or song name, or even to download screen visuals. Plus, the Smart Bar provides a display of music information that is adjusted to the screen area even while you operate the phone, allowing you to instantly check song information.
The 3D surround stereo speakers, which emit sound from four places on the back and sides of the handset, and the included earphones with great mid and high ranges allow sound reproduction with greater realism. Plus, with the equalizer function that lets you choose from five sound and bass settings and the AVLS setting that reduces sound leakage, you can enjoy the audio quality that suits your preferences.
This 3G (CDMA2000) slider also features a 1.3 megapixel cam, a 2.2-inch, 240 x 320, 262k color LCD, FM radio, an EPG to keep you hip to the TV schedule, and a feast of dedicated player controls including a new mechanical wheel unique to Walkman phone navigation. And by partnering with KDDI, owners can snag music over-the-air via the 5 million downloads-per-month strong LISMO music service.
