Sony Ericsson W380

Introduction:
In the end of 2007, Sony presented a few new phones including the W380, which we will introduce here. It is the third clamshell device with the Walkman logo and it falls in to the middle class. The phone is targeted mainly at the young generation and the people who can not spend a large sum, but love music and would not get a phone without a music player. The gesture control would be quite interesting for them…



Design:
W380’s design is characterized by the single color of the whole device and the sharp edges, which gives it an aggressive look. The device is shown on the official web site of the company and is expected to be released in three-color versions - black champagne, magnetic gray and electric purple.

The new addition to Sony Ericsson’s Walkman line runs on software identical to the one seen in W880 and not like the version in K850 and W910.




With the W380 and the Z555, Sony Ericsson introduces its new Gesture Control system. Unlike Nokia phones, such as the Arte series, there isn't a dedicated sensor, and the system uses the phone's camera. By waving your hand in front of the lens, the phone will "snooze" your alarm or silence the ringing of an incoming call and send it to the voice mail. Currently, only those two simple actions can be performed, but in the future we may see a smarter system which recognizes different gestures.
