4. Sony Ericsson launches 8.1MP W995 mobile phone

Walkman meets Cybershot

Sony Ericsson has kicked off Mobile World Congress by launching the W995 handset, which could be its most complete handset yet.

Not only does the traditional-looking Walkman-series mobile phone boast all of the great features you'd associate with the W series, it also has a Cybershot-esque, huge 8.1-megapixel camera.

Under the banner Entertainment Unlimited, the W995 combines the popular shake control, 3.5mm headphone jack, Album Art and TrackID features from the Walkman phones, with the face detection and image stabilisation highlights of the Cybershots. No more choosing between the two for SE fans.

It's also touting itself as somewhat of an on-the-go video player. With Wi-Fi and Turbo 3G built in, you'll be able to pick up all the latest from YouTube to watch on the 2.6-inch, 240x320 TFT screen.

This is backed up by the new MediaGo software, which was also announced at Sony Ericsson's Sunday evening press conference, and will debut on the W995. It's a Wi-Fi based service which allows owners to sync their multimedia content over the web, shifting it to and from your PC, PS3 and TV with ease.

It'll be hitting your back pockets in the second quarter of 2009 and comes in black, red and silver. Check out our full gallery of hands-on photos here.
