Highlights
Match your mood with SensMe™
SensMe™ lets you create playlists based on tempo and mood. Slow or fast, happy or sad - in your phone, songs show as dots on a two-axis map. SensMe™ requires that you use Media Manager PC software for transferring songs to your phone. Learn more - see the video
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.
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.
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
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.
