Good news and bad news. Good or really good news, is that Fringe the Israeli mobile communication company has updated it ever so popular application. The new release allows for last.fm streaming and friend monitoring. Now you can listen to your favorite radio stations while chatting with our friends without ever leaving the fringe application. All your most loved radio stations will be available and the love/ban function is also supported. Now enough of the good news, the bad news is that err… well iPhone users will not be able to use this application yet. But it may work on a jail broken iPhone. Chances are that Fringe will develop the add-on itself as the iPhone needs it badly.
Sony Ericsson announced earlier this year and among those announced was the W902 which will be receiving a review from yours truly.
Sony Ericsson’s Walkman Series is a legend in its own right. The W902 is another installment of theirs and we expected nothing but the best. A look at the features it packs, and you’ll come to agree with us that Sony Ericsson has done justice. If you’d like to think of the W902 in comparison with another cell phone Sony Ericsson has put out before, think no further than the C902. As the C902 was the ultimate CyberShot specialist camera phone, the W902 is the ultimate Walkman Phone. Beyond this, the W902 simply does not have a cell phone of the same ranking in the present market.
Sony Ericsson has given the W902 an upgrade to Walkman Version 3.0. You get direct access keys to all your music, no navigation hassle at all. A vertical menu waits for you with a list of options from where you can select albums, artists, tracks and playlists. In itself, this is a great addition, because it’s just as good as ant dedicated software on stand alone walkmans. There’s also TrackID that only requires you to feed it a snippet of a song, and then by the power of technology vested in your cell, TrackID brings you the name, artist and album of the song. Shake Control lets you change between tracks by flicking your wrist. SenseMe brings you music according to your mood.
In other news, there’s a 5 megapixel camera with autofocus and flash. You can take pretty high quality pictures with the camera and for a Walkman Phone, this is pretty impressive. The phone has 25MB of memory and comes with a 2GB microSD card. The W902 has an FM RDS radio and a competent video player, plus Sony Ericsson’s Access NetFront browser and Java compatibility for your web browsing needs. The cell phone weights 100 grams and is 11mm thick. So you feel a solid piece of technology that’s still not too thick to be places delicately in your pocket. The battery gives 380 hours of standby time and 10 hours of talk time, again not bad at all.
