Sony Ericsson Spiro

Sony Ericsson announces the new Sony Ericsson Spiro mobile phone which continues the iconic award-winning Sony Ericsson Walkman phone legacy. With more than 130 million Walkman phones sold worldwide, Sony Ericsson now adds an affordable Walkman phone to its portfolio - without compromising on features. The Sony Ericsson Spiro phone features the human curvature design that is now consistent across the whole Sony Ericsson portfolio. Beautiful and timeless human curvature also incorporates an ergonomic keypad which makes the handset easy to use.

Size and Weight :

The Sony Ericsson Spiro is a slider measuring 103 x 52 x 11.5 (16) mm and weighing 115 g.

Network and connectivity:

The Spiro is a dual band GSM phone, with limited data connection options, restricted to just GPRS and EDGE. This suffices for general web browsing, but you wouldn’t want to be attempting any downloads of any kind. A good option here would be to use the Opera Mini browser, which offers superior experience browsing on low speed data networks. It supports GSM / GPRS / EDGE 900 / 1800 and GSM / GPRS / EDGE 850 / 1900.

Camera and Video:

The Spiro can take photos and shoot videos on its 2-megapixel camera. Although basic by smartphone standards, having the option to take fun snaps, should the mood take you, is also a good addition.

Memory and Display:

Storage space should be more than enough on the phone as with a microSD card the Spiro can hold up to 16GB, onboard memory is 5MB. The screen is a standard QVGA TFT display, supporting up to 256,000 colours, measuring 2.2 inches point to point.

Entertainment Features:

The new Sony Ericsson Spiro mobile phone provides consumers with the best music experience they have come to expect from Walkman phones but go one step further and marry music with social networking. From Twitter to Facebook, consumers can catch up with friends at just a touch of a button while still listening to their favourite music on the Walkman player. Another key function available on the Sony Ericsson Spiro handset is TrackID which allows consumers to access the name and artist of a track they hear playing wherever they are. This function has proved popular with music lovers world-wide with 129 million TrackID lookups in 2009 alone. It supports 3.5mm audio jack & two most popular audio codecs MP3 and AAC through the Walkman player of course. The music player on the device supports multiple formats, including MP3, AAC, eAAC+ and WAV, and as well as the Walkman there is also a stereo FM radio with full RDS support. The inclusion of Bluetooth 2.1 also allows you to listen to your music on the move with a compatible wireless headset. will be available in Black contrast, Pink sunset, Green Spring and Black stealth colour variants.
