First leaked by semcblog last week, Sony Ericsson today has revealed its new W995 walkman phone with an optimised video playback style. The slider phone comes with a 8.1 megapixel camera, built in Wi-Fi, 2.6-inch display screen and support YouTube. The W995 walkman phone is also the first Sony Ericsson phone that featuring a new software called Media Go, providing an easy and convenient way of transfering any audio, photos and videos between your phone and computer. Media Go can be used to rip your Music CD and convert video format to fit your mobile phone video format.

“With Media Go there’s no need to worry about format, resolution and ‘frame per second’ anymore.” said Alexandre Cardon, Global Marketing Business Manager at Sony Ericsson. “No longer will the video you transferred from your PC to your phone play in low resolution or bad quality. With Media Go and the W995 the experience is as good on your phone as it was on your PC.”

Set the phone on its built-in stand and watch videos with your friends while you pump up the volume on the powerful built-in stereo speakers. Depends on your regional market, the W995 will be sold together with the HPM-77 headphone or HPM-88 noise cancelling headset. A 8GB memory card will be included together with the retail package.

The W995 Walkman supports GSM/GPRS/EDGE 850/900/1800/1900 and UTMS/HSPA 900/2100. W995 will be available in selected markets from Q2 in the colours Progressive Black, Cosmic Silver and Energetic Red.
