The W960 was unveiled in June 2007 and marks a next generation of Walkman® phones. With room for up to 8,000 songs and finger-touch navigation around playlists on the large touch screen. The 2.6” display also serves as an excellent viewfinder for a 3.2 megapixel camera and as a widescreen for watching video in TV quality.
