UNITED States-based communication giant, Sonny Ericsson, has released the W508 Walkman phone, which it believes will be a hit in Africa and the rest of the globe.

The company said the device would provide consumers the most interactive mobile experience with technology such as Shake and Gesture control, SenseMe and TrackID, as well as one extra Style-Up cover.

“The W508 Walkman phone builds on our iconic Walkman range and the successful W380,” said Alexander Cardon, Global Product marketing manager (music) at Sony Ericsson.

“For those who like to express their style and individuality through their mobile phone, we have brought our creative design team in to produce stylish changeable covers so that W508 offers a truly interactive and individual experience.”

Shake control and Gesture control allows consumers to become their own DJ or switch to shuffle mode by giving the phone a quick shake. The W508 also includes popular Walkman features such as SensMe, for matching one’s mood to the music and touch keys on top of the phone to play, stop and skip tracks.

Other features include a 3.2 megapixel camera, HSDPA and 1GB M2 card. Also available on the W508 is PlayNow arena, which provides a full range of mobile entertainment downloadable from your handset – unique themes and wallpapers, traditional and specially developed ringtones and music tones, a wealth of free content, DRM-free music tracks and TrackID charts from around the world–ITNewsAfrica.
