Sports applications make the new W710 WALKMAN® phone fit for an active lifestyle
18 May 2006
London, UK - 18 May 2006 - Listening to music while exercising takes a new turn today as Sony Ericsson introduces the W710 Walkman® phone. Designed to support an active, sporty lifestyle, the W710 includes a motion sensor plus new fitness applications that measure your running speed, distance and time, or simply count your steps when walking. Sporty good looks, a high performance Walkman® player and easy-to-use interface all combine to make the W710 the perfect sporting partner, whether you’re running for fun or keeping a check on how much you walk each day.
Available in Performance Graphite and Hatha Violet the phone also features a 2 Megapixel camera with digital zoom and comes supplied with 512MB Memory Stick Micro™ (M2™) - enough to keep you going through the longest walk or fitness session, although this can be expanded to 1GB if you’re left wanting more.
Fitness applications included as standard help you take your Walkman® phone into new territory. The jogging application can be accessed easily from both the sub display and main display to measure both speed and distance covered while out running. There’s also a daily step counter that resets automatically at midnight and your progress is displayed even when the phone is on standby.
The user interface is easy to use while on the move. The fitness application, Walkman® player and FM radio can all be controlled using the external display and the quick access keys next to it - so you don’t have to open the phone and find yourself losing concentration.
To add even more dimensions to your active life, the W710 comes with the very latest Sony Ericsson accessories. The Active Clip IAC-60 is specially designed to make the W710 accessible and comfortable to wear. Clipped to your bag, waist or arm by way of a highly adaptable strap, it makes using all the features on the W710 easy when working out.
We all know the frustration of earphones falling out when we’re on the move. With the Stereo Portable Handsfree HPM-65 that is eliminated, making it the perfect handsfree for the W710. A light design with ear hooks give a stable fit, while a standard 3.5 mm plug means you can change the earphones if you wish. As with all Walkman® phones, the music mutes when the phone rings, so you need never miss a call.
More key features of the W710:
Music listening
Walkman® player – Advanced music player with Megabass™; allows search and sort by artist, album, track and playlist
FM Radio with RDS – Up to 20 favourite channels can be stored with the preset function. The FM Radio can be used as alarm clock
Flight Mode – turn the phone off in no-phone zones for music player only
Music management and transfer
Supplied Disc2Phone Music Management Software allows you to easily rip your CDs and transfer tracks from your PC to your phone. You can also transfer tracks to your phone that you’ve already ripped into your existing music libraries; just ‘drag and drop’ and the full metadata – artist, album and track – will be transferred too. When the W710 is connected to your PC with the USB cable, the PC recognises the Memory Stick Micro™ (M2™) as an external hard drive, so you can easily and quickly transfer music files to the Memory Stick in this way.
Music recognition
Now you can easily discover the title and artist of a song you’re listening to on the phone’s radio or even your own radio at home or in the car. TrackID™ powered by Gracenote® Mobile MusicID is a new service which means you can record a few seconds of a song either via the microphone or the in built FM radio and then with one click send that clip to the Gracenote® worldwide music database which will identify the track and relay the information back to the W710 phone.

Brilliant set of features on this one.
The large external display is a good idea too. I think this is the best clamshell  has brought out yet... |

I've been waiting for Moto to put a large external display on the razr series and it shouldn't be too difficult with oled screen etc
good on SE for this one! its about the only attraction for me though as I'm not a big fan of clams unless there the thinness of the razr's

It looks like it, on both models.
The sports version is just the type of addition to the portfolio that is needed, it broadens the appeal of the brand. |

i don't really like clamshells, nore do i really like the colors used on this phone.
but i want it. i've been waiting for such a phone for ages, and its defintely much better then the nokia.
i never expected mobile phones to start taking marketshare of stepcounters/pedometers.
With Ericsson and Nokia gone: we must keep their spirits alive and buy JOLLA or YOTA |
