Haven’t really decided if I like Sony-Ericsson’s Walkman series yet, although they sure do look nice.
This latest one, the W900, picks up where the W800 left off, the most obvious upgrade being the half-a-gig of built-in memory that the newer model is packing. With an additional Memory Stick, you have a theoretical capacity of about 2.5gb on your phone, which is smaller than Samsung’s recently-released 3gb phone but is still pretty decent for any phone outside of Korea.
Another interesting thing I noticed is that the W900 seems to come installed with Macromedia Flash Lite – the first phone in recent memory that has ever come with this player pre-installed. Macromedia has long been dancing around the periphery of the mobile market (Flash 8 Professional comes with a ton of small mobile-device-related enhancements) and I wonder if this isn’t the first step that will allow them to finally penetrate the industry.
