Mix it up with the latest Sony Ericsson Walkman phone

It seems like not a week goes by without a new Android handset launching. Some of us still prefer regular feature phones, however, as handsets like the new Sony Ericsson Mix Walkman 3G are often easier to use and offer a better battery life.

Aimed at the affordable end of the touchscreen phone market, the Sony Ericsson Mix features a 3-inch capacitive touchscreen, and is the latest in a long line of Walkman phones. At 100MB, internal storage is limited, but the Mix also supports 32GB of space on microSD cards, making it easy to store all your music.

There’s a 3.2-megapixel camera, which won’t set the world alight but is pretty standard at the low end of the market. 3G, Wi-Fi and Bluetooth are all built in though, making it easy to browse the web or download and transfer files wherever you are.

It’s the battery life where the Mix Walkman 3G should really score over Android handsets, however, with up to 465 hours available on standby, an impressive 13 hours of music playback and a talk time of nearly 10 hours.

Prices and availability have yet to be announced.

If your a big music lover and would like a great music player within your phone, you should already have a Walkman hehe. battery life seems decent, HTC are terrible for battery life in my opinion only getting 2-3 days and that's not with frequent use.
