Sony Ericsson Mix Walkman review: Music to go

This Walkman is still learning to walk. But it sure knows how to mix. One part spicy, one part sweet, sprinkled with sexy and fun. Just don't expect it to mix business with pleasure.

Quad-band GSM/GPRS/EDGE support ; Touch-friendly four corner UI with Walkman player ; Stereo speakers ; 3.0" capacitive touchscreen of WQVGA resolution ; 3.15 megapixel fixed-focus camera with QVGA video recording ; Wi-Fi b/g ; Stereo FM radio with RDS...

No 3G ; Low-res display ; No on-screen QWERTY keyboard ; No equalizers or repeat function for the music player ; Disappointing camera ; No file browser ; No smart dial ; No multi-tasking ; microSD card slot under the battery

Sony Ericsson Mix Walkman review

The latest in the Walkman phone line is certainly not all-singing or all-dancing…

Wi-Fi ; Excellent external speaker ; Very little distortion from the media player ; Capacitive touchscreen

Buggy platform prone to reboots ; Walkman music player is incredibly basic ; No QWERTY keyboard ; Laggy touchscreen ; No real apps

The latest budget offering in the Walkman-branded mobile phone range by Sony Ericsson brings the music to the party, but what we'd like to know is: does it bring much else?

Sony Ericsson Mix Walkman

Review Recent figures may show that smartphones are now outselling no-so-smart mobiles in Europe, but that's not to say ordinary handsets are dead and buried. New to their ranks is Sony Ericsson's Mix Walkman, which attempts to put some life into the...

With Android smartphones getting ever cheaper the squeeze is on for lesser phones like the Mix. But its superior battery life and fine sounding music player means this Sony Ericsson could still have made an argument for itself if only it had more audio...

Sony Ericsson Mix Walkman Review

While the Mix Walkman does some jobs well, facilities such as texting, music and navigation are rather frustrating

Neat, solid design; Wi-Fi connection; dedicated music and camera keys

Laggy touch-screen hampers texting and navigation; very average sound from the music player

It seems odd that a handset that is supposed to have music at its core has such poor sound quality. While there is a dedicated music player button, and nice touches such as playlist creation, this means little if the music is not good to listen to. The...

Sony Ericsson Mix Walkman

The Mix Walkman is the latest addition to Sony Ericsson's music-focussed line-up, offing a bunch of rather eccentric features including Sony's all-new Zappin song search technology.

According to Sony Ericsson, the Mix Walkman phone has a "unique human curvature design", and measures in at just 95.8 x 52.8 x 14.3mm. It also comes with old-school-style exchangeable bands, so you can "change the colour to suit your mood". If your...
