Sony Ericsson Live with Walkman review
18.05.12
The Sony Ericsson Live with Walkman is a music-focused smart phone running Android 2.3. It boasts a 1GHz processor and 720p video recording.
You can pick it up on contract for as little as £10 a month, or alternatively you can take the SIM-free approach and purchase one for around £150.
Should I buy the Sony Ericsson Live with Walkman?
If you're old enough to recall the days before MP3s and portable media players, then you'll no doubt have a certain degree of affection for Sony's famous Walkman brand. Back in the days when Dolby was cutting edge and your playlists were confined to 90 minutes per tape, Sony ruled the roost.
However, it's best to cast aside any of these nostalgic feelings when considering the Sony Ericsson Live with Walkman. Although it is marked with the distinctive logo, it's not actually that strong a music playback device -- at least when compared with the competition.
Aside from a special Walkman shortcut button, there's nothing here that hasn't already been seen on Sony Ericsson's Xperia phones. The Live with Walkman even uses the exact same music player app.
