June 9th, 2011, London, UK- Sony Ericsson today fully revealed two new phones
following a worldwide competition open to over 4.8 million fans that follow Sony
Ericsson on http://www.facebook.com/sonyericsson . The Sony Ericsson Mix
Walkman(TM) phone offers an entertaining music experience, while the Sony
Ericsson txt pro has a full slide-out qwerty keyboard combined with a friends
application for social networking. Both phones integrate full touch
functionality with a corner user interface similar to that available in the
Xperia(TM) mini range. Both phones are packed full of features including cameras
with video recording and Wi-Fi(TM) for chatting and browsing.
Quentin Cordier, Global Product Marketing Manager, Sony Ericsson said: "We
wanted to take advantage of our extensive Facebook fan base when announcing
these phones, bringing the fans closer to both our products and brand. We are
really pleased that consumers liked them for their music and social media
functionality and expect them to become great additions to our overall portfolio
of entertaining phones."
The Sony Ericsson Mix Walkman(TM) provides a new and fun way to listen to music.
It comes with a Zappin(TM) key to make it even easier and more fun to search for
your favourite song. Simply press the Zappin(TM) key to preview the chorus of
the next track and decide whether it is a favourite you want to listen to. A
karaoke function also enables the vocal track from any song to be lowered
instantly so you can sing along with your favourite tune.
The look and feel of the phone can be personalized with different exchangeable
colour bands that come with the phone.
The Sony Ericsson txt pro combines a 3" touch screen with a 3.2 megapixel camera
and full slide-out qwerty keyboard. Its integrated friends application enables
users to add their five best friends to see at a glance updates from their
Facebook(TM) and Twitter(TM) feeds.
