Sony Ericsson is at it again with a brand new HSDPA Walkman phone.

This phone sports a 3 Mega pixel camera with 2.5 times digital zoom, video recording capabilities, and video calling capabilities.

It’s not hard to look at, and has the same standard featureset that Sony Ericsson is known for.

This phone will probably be launched on Rogers in the second quarter this year.

It’s a nice little phone that is packed with features.

From Sony Ericsson:

On January 6, 2008, Sony Ericsson announced the new W760 Walkman® mobile phone - the eighth Sony Ericsson phone to support the Mobile Services Architecture (MSA) umbrella standard (JSR 248). This tri-band HSDPA slider-style phone features music management with Shake Control and track discovery using TrackID™, 3D gaming boosted by an accelerometer and A/B buttons, and assisted GPS.

MSA can now be found in eight Sony Ericsson phone series - the K630, K660, K850, V640, W760, W890, W910 and Z750 – giving developers a range of Java™ ME programming features including instant messaging/chat and presence based functionality, handling banking, payment transactions, user identification and authentication through secure encryption technology. MSA is supported by the recently released Sony Ericsson SDK 2.5.0 for the Java ME Platform.

Well guys I know a lot of you shop at either Radio Shack (USA) or The Source by Circuit City (Formerly Radio Shack in Canada). The consumerist has a great post right now from a former Radio Shack employee giving consumers some good advice about buying something and asking questions at Radio Shack

From [ Consumerist.com ]

Note: This is not a rant or venting session. I was laid off after the holidays, and I have no hard feelings about it ( Layoffs happen to everyone these days) . This is simply a guide to shopping at RadioShack ( henceforth known as RS) for any consumer who likes or buys electronics,written by someone who’s sold far too much of them.

This of course begs the question: Why would an informed consumer have anything to do with RadioShack? Well, for one, RS does have some pretty good deals on some items from time to time. You won’t find them in the circular or on some huge ad, but they do exist.

For example , we sell on clearance Ultimate Ears Super Fi pro 3 earbuds ( think iPod headphones on steroids) for the price of $49.97. Amazon and many other e-tailers sell them for about $60 before shipping. I use the above as a precise example that RS is not completely useless.

So, if you do find a good deal on something ,or if you’re an RC car nut, here’s how you shop at RadioShack with your wallet and mental health intact. Read the rest of this entry »
