More Features on the Sony Ericsson W8

The Sony Ericsson W8 Walkman Phone is a pretty straight forward device. It allows you to enjoy more from music. However, there is more to this Android handset than expected. It comes with additional features that will definitely surprise you.


When this handset was announced by SE, we found out that the phone came with features built around music. It came with the Walkman Player that allows you to organize your music, playlists, and albums. It also comes with the infinite button for getting more information on the track you are listening to. Lastly, it comes with TrackID music recognition. This allows you to get information like artist, album, and the option to purchase the track on PlayNow. However, there is more to this handset than just music.

The Walkman Phone offers options for customization. On the four corners of the home screen, you can add shortcuts to any function of the handset. On one corner, you can create a shortcut to your contacts. On another corner, you can assign a shortcut that gives you instant access to your music. On the third corner, you can place a shortcut to the web. This will allow you to visit your favorite website at a touch. On the fourth corner, you can create a shortcut to the Android Market. This will allow you to get more apps for games or more music.

Another feature on the Sony Ericsson W8 we are sure you will love is Twitter integration. This will allow you tweet at anytime from anywhere you may be. You can even use TrackID music recognition to let the whole world know what you are listening to. This will allow you to get more information about a particular track and allow your friends to listen to it as well.

Because the handset comes with Twitter integration, it also comes with Facebook integration. This will allow you to get all the updates and feeds that make you enjoy the social network even more. This will allow you to get to know what your friends are up to at all times.

The Android handset also comes with a virtual keyboard that allows its users to enjoy typing ease. When it comes to emails, social feeds, tweets, and SMS, you can run through symbols, letters, and numbers with ease. This virtual keyboard will offers a complete selection of characters and symbols for you to enjoy.

The Sony Ericsson W8 is more than just a smartphone built around music. It may not be as advanced as the SE Arc. However, it comes with a number of Android features for you to enjoy.
