looks pretty good.. n hot.. haha coz I have x8 in my hand with white dark blue combination color.. just want to say the radio on it feels really good in signal reception.. even better than my w902 radio..!! hope this walkman version has DSP chip or sumthing.. so itsn't just android with walkman player or vice versa..

    So, the only difference between this and the X8 is gonna be the Music player? Is it gonna have hardware music buttons? like Play/Pause, Next Track, Previous Track? Cuz if so, this could be a serious hit. It'd be really popular in India.

        Not much innovation in terms of product features in this phone. What is the difference from x8?

              They should make a powerful high-end Walkman Android phone, with big screen, slim running Gingerbread.. That will be even cooler just like Xperia Arc

                And this is y they have trouble making profits.No vision, I would suggest they make a flag ship walkman sporting a dual core, 4" screen, 8mp cam 1080p recording, support 4 all music file n video codecs support n also running gingerbread of course. After that they can mk feature walkman phones with gingerbread nt 2.0 or 2.1 nt even 2.2. Damn it Sony u are so sickening.

                  P500 is so much snappier...

                    [deleted post]If you use little bit of sense (considering there is any) you will see this handset is screaming 2 things a loud - "for-low-price-market", "for-mid-range-users". Technically both things are same and the point is, it is for those featured phone users who might want to level their investment up a bit and more of a music-lover first. For them it is a good pick for others it is not - so better fix the mind-set before bad-mouthing against any product. Not all of them are for high-end users or high-end uses.

                            They could have bumped up the screen resolution and added hardware playback shortcut keys...

                                  Could have made it better, bit more stylish with Froyo/Gingerbread. Feels like Xperia only. Not a proper Walkman branding..

                                    No mention of its support for OS updates? If it cannot be upgraded to 2.2 or 2.3, a lot of folks will be turned off from it (those without the ability or who are unwilling to spend a lot of time rooting their phones). The only thing going for it now is its Walkman label. The rest of the specs are so yesteryear, they suggest a lower-midrange model, probably around the same pricing tier as the LG Optimus One P500.
