Sony Ericsson<\/a> have been fairly quiet recently – especially when it comes to Walkman branded phones. After a few unsuccessful product launches it made sense that they put more effort into their next batch of smartphones, and looking at how popular the X10<\/a>, X10 Mini<\/a> and X10 Mini Pro<\/a> have been, it seems to have been worth it.<\/p>\n

Now that their touchscreen phones are out of the way, they’re paying more attention to their Walkman range, with 2 new handsets being released within weeks of each other – the Spiro<\/strong> and the Zylo<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

\"Sim<\/a>

Sony Ericsson Spiro<\/p><\/div>\n

The Sony Ericsson Spiro is a simple, compact slider. It’s not loaded with all the latest features and gadgets, but is easy to use and has all the features that the everyday user would need.<\/p>\n

The main changes are to do with the software on the phone. The menu system has been given a make over, with a number of changes to make things quicker and easier. The Walkman software has also had a number of tweaks to how it handles your music. The biggest change though is the integration of Facebook and Twitter into the menu system.<\/p>\n

The Sony Ericsson Spiro<\/a> is due in the next few weeks and we’ve already got a wide range of Spiro Accessories<\/a> and Spiro Cases<\/a> available.<\/p>\n

\"Sony<\/a>

Sony Ericsson Zylo<\/p><\/div>\n

The Sony Ericsson Zylo is a very similar phone, but has 3G connectivity for faster internet access. The faster connection means that you can also watch YouTube videos on the phones built in YouTube App. \u00a0Like the Spiro, the Zylo has built in support for Facebook and Twitter and an updated Walkman player. \u00a0The other main difference to the Spiro is a 3.2mp Camera.<\/p>\n

The Sony Ericsson Zylo<\/a> is available to pre-order now, and as with the Spiro we’ve already got a wide range of Zylo Cases<\/a> and Zylo Accessories<\/a> to choose from.<\/p>\n\n\n
