Sony Ericsson Live with Walkman Review by 3G.co.uk
31.12.69
This is one phone whose reputation precedes it – with the Walkman moniker, it’s easy to tell that it is going to have music at its core. This is a neat sized handset with a touch display – it’s pretty lightweight at 115g, but not so small that it will be replacing your tiddly iPod nano.
However, it looks good, is nicely designed and has loads of features. The power button sits on the right, and the Walkman button is on the left – this takes you straight to the music player. The 3.5mm audio jack can be found on the top edge in the middle. The home key sits on the front – it wakes the display – but takes a firm touch to get it working. The only other two buttons are the camera button and volume rocker on the phone’s right side.
Sony Ericsson has been having a lot of success with its phones recently – the Xperia Ray and Xperia Arc S in particular. The Live with Walkman doesn't have the Ray’s high res display, but it still does a good job. The screen is smaller (it measures 3.2 inches) and features the hot corners found on the Xperias. These are like shortcut buttons – touch the top-left corners and they’ll take you to ‘messages’ and let you search your music.
