Sony Ericsson are launching a new range of handsets under the title Entertainment Unlimited featuring the previously announced 12.1 Megapixel Idou and Walkman branded W995 plus one more which has yet to be officially unveiled. If you read into this a little, Sony Ericsson could well be giving away a little more than they intended! The Idou has photography covered whilst the W995 is first and foremost, a music phone so what could the third in the trio of Entertainment Unlimited phones feature as its headliner? Could this finally see the release of the fabled PSP phone? Or perhaps the rumoured Sony Ericsson Android device will fall under the new Entertainment Unlimited umbrella?
While details on this third device are thin on the ground (in fact they’re non-existant, all we know is it’s coming), we do know enough about the other two to get tongues wagging. The Sony Ericsson dropped a 12.1 Megapixel bomb on the mobile phone industry when it announced the Idou.
Apart from the 12.1 Megapixel camera carrying the famous Cyber-Shot branding and a Xenon flash (though this alone makes us want one more than anything!), the Idou features an impressive 3.5 inch touchscreen running on an all new Symbian operating system from the Symbian Foundation. If you haven’t seen the demo video currently doing the rounds, think iPhone OS meets Walkman and you’ll have an idea how the new Symbian software is shaping up.
As for the W995, while it sports the most powerful camera ever found on a Walkman branded device (8.1 Megapixel), music is very much at the forefront of the W995’s make up. Running the latest version of the Walkman software provides a slick interface and easy access to all your music whilst the N96 style kickstand turns your phone into a miniature boom box (and also doubles as a handy video player) and Sony Ericsson’s plans to include an 8GB card in the retail pack will prove the icing on the cake for music lovers.
