Sony Ericsson Z750i

With its mirrored finish and attention-grabbing colour scheme, Sony Ericsson is obviously aiming the Z750i at the style-conscious. This handset has substance too, however, thanks to its decent onboard music player, GPS and speedy HSDPA support

Sony Ericsson W595

Sony Ericsson's new W595 is a slider handset with a 3.2-megapixel camera, and it replaces the popular W580i from last year. Supported music formats include MP3, AAC, WMA and WAV, meaning it could replace your MP3 player. The new camera is a definite improvement and there are some better specs, too, so have a look

Sony Ericsson W902

The W902 is Sony Ericsson's flagship Walkman phone for the end of 2008, and the first Walkman to come with a 5-megapixel camera. We were impressed with the pictures we took -- especially since it's a music phone, too. With a decent interface for browsing media and a solid, attractive design, the W902 is one to check out

Sony Ericsson W760i

The Sony Ericsson W760i is our favourite of the company's phones and it's the best Walkman phone to date. This music phone crams in loads of features, including GPS and HSDPA. Music playback and audio quality during calls are both impressive and its menus are slick and attractive

Sony Ericsson W890i

The Sony Ericsson W890i Walkman phone could go down in mobile phone history as one of the best Sony Ericsson handsets ever. It greatly improves upon its W880i predecessor with a solid, slim casing and we argue that you could even replace your MP3 player with this handset
