Sony Ericsson W760 - Global walkman

Sony Ericsson have today announced the first truly global Walkman phone - the W760.

The W760 will support tri-band HSDPA (High-Speed Downlink Packet Access) enabling downloads at broadband speed downloads from wherever in the world it is used.

I have been considering purchasing a mobile phone with GPS for some time and may just wait until the W760 is released. I currently own the w810i walkman phone which I am generally happy with. The addition of GPS would be a nice upgrade.

Features:
- GPS and Wayfinder Navigator plus Google maps
- Twin speakers with Stereo Widening
- An optional Active Speaker for outdoor use
- SensMe - analyzes your tracks your tracks and lets you search by mood (upbeat, sombre etc)
- Score big - gaming features including motion control and widescreen gameplay
- 3.2 megapixel camera
- Connectivity - Bluetooth, modem, USB

The W760 will be available from the second quarter of 2008.
