TMCNet: Enjoy your music in your style with the Sony Ericsson W508 Walkman(TM) mobile phone

[January 07, 2009]

Enjoy your music in your style with the Sony Ericsson W508 Walkman(TM) mobile phone

Jan 08, 2009 (Hugin via COMTEX) --
Show your style with the customisable W508 Walkman(TM) phone. With
eight changeable Style-Up(TM) covers to choose from as well as
SensMe(TM), consumers can personalise the W508 to suit their mood and
get a real hands-on interactive experience
Las Vegas, USA - January 7, 2009 - Enjoy music the way you want it
with the W508 Walkman(TM) phone. Consumers can have the most
interactive mobile experience as individual as they are, with clever
technology such as Shake and Gesture control, SenseMe(TM) and
TrackID(TM), as well as one extra Style-Up(TM) cover with the W508.
"The W508 Walkman(TM) phone builds on our iconic Walkman(TM) range
and the successful W380." said Alexandre Cardon, Global Product
Marketing Manager (music) at Sony Ericsson. "For those who like to
express their style and individuality through their mobile phone
we've brought our creative design team in to design stylish
changeable covers so that W508 offers a truly interactive and
individual experience."
Shake control and Gesture control allows you to become your own DJ
with just a flick of your wrist - raise the volume or set the shuffle
function by giving your phone a quick shake. Is that alarm getting to
you? Switch it to snooze or mute the volume with a sweep of your palm
without having to fumble for the off button.
The W508 also includes popular Walkman(TM) features such as
SensMe(TM), for matching your mood to the music and touch keys on top
to play, stop and skip tracks. A 3.2 megapixel camera, HSDPA and 1GB
M2 card completes the W508 offering for any trend setter.
Can't get that song out of your head but have no idea what it's
called? Use TrackID(TM) with text search and you'll have the answer
at a touch of a button. Also available on the W508 is PlayNow(TM)
arena which provides a full range of mobile entertainment
downloadable from your handset - unique themes and wallpapers,
traditional and specially developed ringtones and music tones, a
wealth of free content and of course DRM-free music tracks and
TrackID(TM) charts from around the world.

Featured White Papers

  • Seven Best Practices for Speech Analytics: Speech analytics is valuable for identifying issues in the contact center. However, limiting its use to the contact center only considers a portion of all customer interactions and subsequently only reveals a small part of the voice of the customer. This paper discusses how organizations can optimize their Speech Analytics implementation strategy to realize the promise of this exciting technology.
  • Understanding the Voice of the Customer: Today's contact centers involve a sea of information that must be captured, processed, and distributed on a daily basis. Effective use of this information enables companies to remain competitive in an increasingly aggressive and customer centric marketplace. An overwhelming percentage of the information that circulates in a contact center's audio recordings, documents, web pages, and emails is unstructured in that it resides outside of a normal structured database and cannot be managed efficiently. These unstructured items contain valuable information, yet this information historically has been difficult to organize, categorize, and access.
