AT&T today launched the Sony Ericsson W760a, the first 3G Walkman phone in the U.S. The W760a has an accelerometer to let users shake or tilt to fast-forward to the next song or simulate motion while playing video games. Dedicated A and B gaming buttons give players extra control and interactivity.
It integrates the Walkman music player with AT&T Mobile Music applications such as Napster Mobile, eMusic Mobile, Music ID and XM Radio.
The W760a has Mobile Email, instant messenger, full-HTML web browsing, a 3.2-megapixel camera and AT&T Navigator for turn-by-turn directions and mapping functions.
"We're excited to offer a full portfolio of Walkman devices at a variety of price points," said Najmi Jarwala, President of Sony Ericsson North America. "With the availability of the W760a Walkman phone, U.S. consumers now have a full range of Walkman devices to choose from."
The Sony Ericsson W760a is available for $129.99 after a two-year agreement and mail-in-rebate and comes in red, black and silver, with silver exclusive to RadioShack for a limited time.
