Sony Ericsson Walkman "looks the business"

Posted: 5 October 2009

Despite its status as a low-budget music device, one reviewer has said the latest entry to the Walkman range "looks the business".

In a piece for Cnet this week, Frank Lewis praised the Sony Ericsson W395 and suggested those in the market for a budget handset that is well-equipped for audio may find the device to be "an absolute steal".

He explained the model can be picked up for around £48 on a pay-as-you-go option, while sim-free shoppers can purchase it for about £110.

With contract options available at £20 per month, Mr Lewis noted the W395 was "one of the cheaper handsets in the current Walkman range" - but this was not something that could be identified from its build quality alone.

In addition to lacking the cheaper, "plasticky" finish of many of its rivals, the review also highlighted the FM tuner with RDS support, support for up to 4 GB of storage and "excellent call quality" the Walkman phone has to offer.

Sony Ericsson's more high profile multimedia devices include the new Satio and Aino smartphones.
