Sony Ericsson’s Walkman Xmini for Japan is awesome, but not for the usual reasons
Filed under: Handsets, Sony Ericsson, KDDI, EV-DO, CDMA
In most parts of the world, the cute little device you’re looking at in this place would pass as a perfectly acceptable Walkman. In Japan, though, it’s more than just a Walkman — it’s a Walkman phone, people. The Sony Ericsson Xmini has been added to KDDI au’s CDMA-based lineup, measuring just 75 x 44 x 18mm and tossing aside the usual barrage of 8-megapixel cameras and wide VGA displays for a mere 320 x 240 screen and 4GB of on-board memory. When closed, its colorful chin reveals music controls; opened, the whole thing morphs into a tiny handset — and a refreshing change of pace from the giant clamshells those poor souls on KDDI are usually subject to, may we add.
