Sony Ericsson Yendo Walkman Serires Key features reviews

The Sony Ericsson Yendo is the first feature phone to come with the Four corner UI. While it is offering little new, it’s still nice looking and intuitive. And that is very important when it comes to touch phones. The expected price of around 100 euro is another point in favor. And the Walkman branding makes it all the sweeter.The Yendo marks Sony Ericsson Walkman's first touchscreen-based phone using the Sony EricssonWalkman brand, which will maintain a focus on music.

As for the other features, they’re mostly nice to have but not essential in a package of this kind. Yes, there is a camera on board for example, but with limited functionality and unimpressive image quality.

Like the other recently launched full touch Sony Ericsson Phone devices, the Yendo comes in an assortment of paintjobs. While the front is always black, the rear can be in 10 different colors ranging across Blue, Purple, Red, Yellow, Green, Orange, Pink,  Silver, White and Black.

The QVGA touchscreen on the Sony Ericsson Yendo measures the measly 2.6 inches but Sony Ericsson has done a nice job of optimizing the user interface.
