Sony Ericsson W760a Coming to AT&T, Says Rumor

We raved about the Sony Ericsson W760's whizzy Walkman interface when we first talked about this phone in January, and now over at Cellphone Signal they've got information suggesting the cellphone is coming to the US with AT&T. The confirmation comes from this leaked photo of a W760 bearing a teeny tiny little AT&T Deathstar logo. The guys at Cellphone Signal think that means you'll be able to buy this 3.2-megapixel cam, GPS-enabled phone "within weeks," though that sounds a little too like speculation. [Cellphone Signal]

Sony Ericsson W760 and Slick New Walkman Interface Hands On

The Sony Ericsson W760 is the first phone US that rocks the latest Walkman interface (it's out in Europe), which is by the far the best one yet. It's cleaner, clearer and just plain sexier than the previous generation. (Compare the W350, which uses the old one.) The major problem is that it really left me hurting for a trackball or touchpad or something better to scroll through artist lists with—clicking one-by-one is so 20th century.

The SensMe feature—which scatters songs along a grid according to how fast or slow they are, creating selectable clusters—also cries out for a trackball to navigate the graph with. A 4-way pad just doesn't cut it. Otherwise, it seems like a solid slider for people wanting GPS and media functions. How much you'd value the new interface is probably the biggest factor other than GPS in going with it over a lower end SE phone.

Sony Ericsson W760 Walkman Phone With GPS, 3.2-megapixel Camera

The Pitch: Sony Ericsson's W760 GPS phone's got a 3.2-megapixel camera, FM radio, TrackID song identification, TrackID Charts and gaming.
The Catch: If you don't need GPS, it's fairly similar to previous Sony Ericsson phones and may not be worth the price premium.
