Featuring for the first time from Sony Ericsson a flip phone that allows you to control your music at your fingertips, the W350 is also the thinnest flip phone offered by AT&T. With a built-in Walkman 2.0 player (controlled through dedicated buttons on the flip cover) and integrated FM radio, you'll be able to listen to your favorite tunes and radio programs wherever you roam. It's also compatible with downloads from AT&T Mobile Music. Other features include Bluetooth for handsfree communication and stereo music streaming, 1.3-megapixel camera/camcorder, Memory Stick Micro (M2) expansion, full web browser with RSS reader, access to personal email and instant messaging, and up to 7 hours of talk time.
Weighing in at 2.8 ounces, the straight-lined, minimalist W350 has a thin plastic flip cover protecting the keypad and measures just 0.4 inches thin--sleek enough to fit comfortably with no bulges into your pocket or purse. The exterior of the flip cover includes music playback keys, while under the flip you'll find an alpha-numeric keypad, five-way navigation button, send/end keys, and two soft keys. It has a 2-inch LCD screen with a 176 x 220-pixel resolution and support for 262 colors. The phone has an internal 14 MB memory, which can be expanded by Memory Stick Micro (M2) media up to 4 GB in size. You can store up to 1000 contact entries in the phone book, which also supports picture/ringer ID, caller groups, and multiple numbers per entry.
The W350’s Walkman 2.0 player can easily be accessed and operated even without opening its flip cover. With Walkman on Top, key MP3 functions including Play, Pause and Scroll are outside the phone’s flip cover so you can use it just like you would a standalone MP3 player. The W350 makes it straightforward to transfer music onto your phone. Whether your favorite tracks are on a CD or on your computer, all you need to do with the phone's intuitive Media Manager software is drag your tracks from your computer onto your phone via a USB cable.
This Walkman phone features MegaBass enhancement for added depth of sound, a flight mode that lets you keep listening to tunes with the phone's network connectivity turned off, and the PlayNow feature that enables you to download new music tones directly to the phone. It's compatible with MP3 and AAC/AAC+/eAAC+ formats. The phone also includes a built-in FM radio with RDS, which displays the name of the currently playing song (when tuned to compatible radio stations).
This phone provides Bluetooth version 2.0 wireless connectivity with EDR (enhanced data rate), and includes profiles for communication headset, handsfree car kits, and audio/video remote control. With the A2DP Bluetooth profile, you can stream your music to a pair of compatible Bluetooth stereo headphones. You can connect your laptop (either via Bluetooth or wired USB) and enjoy dial-up networking--surf the Internet, send email, and access files from a server.
Support is built in for sending and receiving pictures, text, graphics, and sound via MMS messages. When used in combination with the phone's built-in still and video camera, MMS opens up a whole new world of messaging possibilities. The phone also ships with a built-in email client with support for POP3, IMAP4, and SMTP protocols, while the included Access NetFront Web browser allows you to surf full HTML web sites. Push email is also supported, allowing you to have instant email on your mobile phone, just like on your home computer. Messages are sent directly to your phone as soon as they arrive. T9 text entry, a technology that makes it easier for people to enter words and text on handsets, is built into the unit--a plus for mobile email and text messaging users.
