This phone uses latest technological improvements in sound to deliver a unique user experience that won't leave its owners disappointed. The W395 has many features that compliment its sound quality as well. It sports a sleek modern design that is visually appealing, lightweight, and manages to contain numerous options in a very small package.

Features of the Sony Ericsson W395

The walkman music player is arguably the best feature of the W395. It comes with powerful built-in speakers that offer a great listening experience as well as the ability to pump up the volume. This will likely be the main attraction for the younger market that places value on portable music devices. It also features an HPM-64 stereo headset to support stereo widening functionality. Not only can music be downloaded onto this cell phone but it also comes equipped with an FM radio if users want to tune into their favorite station. It also comes with software ...
... from Sony that makes it easy to find your favorite track and listen with only a couple clicks of a button.

Another very nice aspect of the Sony Ericsson W395 is its 2.0 mega pixel camera. Pictures can be taken on the phone and uploaded directly to a blog or shared among friends via Bluetooth. It contains a memory card slot so that extra pictures can be stored as well. This model also comes with a free picture editor to edit and change your pictures. Email and instant messaging capability are standard, along with wireless Web browser technology.

The W395 also features 3D gaming with motion control and a wide variety of downloadable games. According to Sony, the battery is good for up to 8 hours of talk time or 8 hours of listening to music.

Appearance of the Sony Ericsson W395

The Sony Ericsson W395 is known as a slider phone. To access the keypad, the panel must be slid up to reveal the hidden buttons. The display-screen as well as various function buttons is located on the outside of the phone, which allows the phone to be used as the walkman for listening to music.

The dimensions of the W395 are 96 x 47 x 14.9 mm with a weight of 96 g. This is a rather small and slim phone considering its capabilities as a camera, phone, and music player all wrapped into one. The outside display screen measures 2 inches and comes with a scratch-resistant cover. The screen has a 262k color TFT display which offers a resolution of 176 x 220 pixels. Sony gives the option of purchasing this cell phone in three different colors: dusky grey, blush, and titanium. The cell phone will be available in March and is compatible with all four of the major GSM/EDGE network bands.
