Highlights

Walkman® player

It’s easy to manage the music in your phone. One click starts the Walkman® music player. Now you can play, rewind, fast forward, equalise, shuffle tracks and create playlists - just like in any other digital music player. The Walkman® player supports several file formats including MP3 and AAC.

Name that tune

When you hear a song you like but you don't know what it's called, ask TrackID™. Record a few seconds of the song and use TrackID™ to send the music to the Gracenote Mobile MusicID database for recognition. In seconds, you'll have the name, artist and album sent to your phone. See how it works

Flight mode

In Flight mode, the radio function is turned off so it doesn't disturb sensitive equipment, e.g. in a plane or hospital. You can't make or take calls, but you can still use some of the functions in your phone.

FM radio

There’s music in the air: just plug in your headphones and activate the built-in FM radio. With RDS, you see which station you’re tuned into and, sometimes, what song is playing. Ideal for when you want to let someone else decide what you listen to.

MegaBass™

When bass frequencies are enhanced, you get a better overall music experience. Play your favourite tracks loud and clear through high-quality headphones or external speakers. MegaBass™ adds depth, and stereo widening for a bigger sound. Let it thump.

Shake control

The easy way to change your tune: just shake your phone. With Shake control activated, press and hold the Walkman key and flick your wrist. A vibration lets you know that the track is changed - a new song from your current playlist is randomly selected and automatically played.
