Sony Ericsson has refreshed its compact Walkman phone line with two new models, and within this post I will be covering the Zylo. This is a basic slider cell phone but has some interesting tricks up its sleeve that make it quite dapper. It’s quite amusing, actually. Sony Ericsson has once again chosen psychadelic color names for this piece of kit, including Jazz Black, Chacha Silver and Swing Pink colors. The Zylo truly is odd. It does have an average 2.6 inch screen (240×320, 262k colors, scratch resistant). However, as I continue on with stating that it has a 3.2 megapixel camera, 2x digital zoom, geo tagging, video recording for the camera, you probably start to wander off. However, simply remember that this is pretty excellent stuff for what will probably be a low price.

Thankfully the Zylo has support for MicroSD, and here is where things actually go from eh, not bad to awesome. The Zylo can play MP3/AAC/AAC+/eAAc+/WMA/FLAC files. Yeah, read that again. FLAC. WHAT! Does this mean that Sony may integrate such compatibility with future Walkman devices? There is also word that you can play your favorite tune in the background while chatting away on the handset. And for the little heavens out there, the Zylo also comes preloaded with sounds so you can pretend you are still at work, walking on the street or in a restaurant.
Let’s look at the other specifications; it is fully loaded with things to give it a Walkman experience, such as Album Art, Playlists, Clear Bass/Stereo, PlayNow, SensMe, Shake Control, and Walkman Player (with cool styles, as shown in the pictures). A NetFront browser is integrated within, and it has Facebook, and Twitter. There is also a built-in accelerometer, gesture control, and animated wallpapers. 3D games are supported, as well as an integrated FM Radio, YouTube, and several other interesting features.
