Sony Ericsson Mix Walkman and txt pro

The Mix Walkman and txt pro are not android devices so don't expect too much, however, they do have touchscreens and don't look too bad either.

Both of the handsets are very alike with the only clear difference being that the txt pro has a slide-out QWERTY keyboard. Both of them have a 3.2 megapixel camera, Bluetooth and a microSD slot and the touchscreen on the pair is is a 3" 240 x 400 pixel model and is fairly large so messages will be easy to read and navigation will be easier. The phones also have a media player, a 3.5mm audio socket and an FM radio.

The phones have most of the things that you'd expect from a basic model and aren't glamorous. They are more about function over fashion but aren't a bad investment for someone who wants a phone to be just that, a phone.

Even though the phones can't compare with Android devices, they are not all bad. The software that is built in is ok and even though the phones don't support 3G, they do support WiFi which means they can be used on a home wireless network. The software includes; web browser email client, Facebook, Twitter and Google Talk to name but a few.

With the phones being Sony, a lot of emphasis has been put on the music functionality of the phone. The Mix Walkman comes with an enhanced media player and has a key whereby you can preview lyrics of the next track to see if you want to listen to it. Both phones are relatively light too with the txt pro being slightly heavier. The txt pro doesn't have some of the advanced features of the Walkman but still has all the things needed for it to perform well.

These phones are ideal if you want the basics and aren't interested in the new technologically advanced Android devices, but we can't see them being overly popular.
