Axiom Telecom predicts triple digit growth of the regional mobile music market with launch of Sony Ericsson W810i

The new handset offers a professional mobile music experience, a high quality camera and a fully featured mobile phone in one device. Over the next 12 months Axiom Telecom forecasts triple digit growth in sales of mobile phones with music functionality.

Al Bannai said:

"This state-of-the-art phone is at the forefront of the 'mobile music' experience and is a driving force behind the digitally converged consumer market. I predict 2006 will truly be the year of converged music, imaging and telephony devices across the whole region."

"Streamlining wireless mobility, digital photography and music into one gadget has quickly made mobiles the most powerful driving force in the entertainment industry."

The stylish extension to the Sony Ericsson walkman line-up integrates entertainment and wireless communications to provide an 'anytime, anywhere' mobile music experience.

Featuring a digital music player, FM radio, music management software and a range of accessories including speakers and headphones, the Sony Ericsson W810i is the perfect companion to a mobile music lifestyle.

The quad-band edge phone (850/900/1800/1900 MHz) provides users with the internet speed required for the download and transfer of music files. The phone is further accompanied by a 512MB removable memory stick capable of storing up to 15 full-length CDs.

Other phone features include a two-mega-pixel camera with auto-focus, video, a fully-functional internet browser, Bluetooth and instant messaging.

The music-enabled phone pauses during incoming calls and reverts to a music-only mode when the device is switched off.

The Sony Ericsson W810i and accessories are now in stock at Axiom Telecom stores.
