Sony Ericsson Spiro continues the iconic Sony Ericsson Walkman phone legacy. With more than 130 million Walkman phones sold worldwide, Sony Ericsson has added an affordable Walkman phone to its portfolio – without compromising on features.

Spiro provides you with the best music experience you have come to expect from Walkman phones but goes one step further and marries music with social networking. From Twitter to Facebook, catch up with friends at just a touch of a button while still listening to your favourite music on the Walkman player. Or chat via SMS with the easy-to-read conversation bubbles.

Another key function is TrackID – which, at the press of a button, allows you to access the name and artist of a track you hear playing wherever you are. This function has proved popular with music lovers world-wide with 129 million TrackID lookups in 2009 alone.

Spiro also features the human curvature design that is now consistent across the whole Sony Ericsson portfolio that incorporates an ergonomic keypad which makes the handset easy to use.

The phone supports GSM GPRS/EDGE 900/1800 and GSM GPRS/EDGE 850/1900.

It will be available in South Africa from early Q3 in the colours Contrast Black, Sunset Pink, Spring Grey and Stealth Black.
