The W760i's built-in GPS with Wayfinder Navigator lets users search over 20 million points of interest around the globe and talks users to their destination every turn of the way. There's also a GPS-supported fitness application called Tracker that can tell them how fast, for how long and how far they've ran.

Become the focal point of a spontaneous party or gaming experience with the W760i's powerful built-in stereo speakers. If outdoors, use the phone with the Active Speaker MAS-100 - a case that not only looks fantastic but also protects the Walkman phone at the same time as being a built-in speaker and FM radio antenna for enjoying music with friends.

The W760i helps select the right music for the occasion. Store up to 950 tracks on the phone, and use SensMe to pick the music and tracks that match the mood in an instant. Navigate through a playlist with Shake Control - shuffle and skip through tracks, or adjust the volume, with just a shake of the phone.

The TrackID functionality allows users to identify any song they're listening to on the FM Radio or at a club. And with TrackID Charts, they can also review the most searched tracks in their country or anywhere in the world.

The intuitive Media User Interface rotates depending on how consumers are holding the phone, so they can see everything they need at a glance. Auto-rotate works for photos, videos and games too. Just twist the phone to change the view.

The W760i allows gamers to play in landscape mode, with sound from stereo speakers and use of dedicated gaming buttons like a gaming console. It is preloaded with the latest games, including Need for Speed ProStreet. The W760i is built for fast-paced action with a large 2.2-inch screen for great gameplay and Motion Sensor Gaming that allows users to play top games on their phone in 3D quality, using the motion of the phone to control the game.

A 3.2-megapixel camera is built in to the phone. Pictures can be stored on the 1GB Memory Stick or transferred to a PC using Media Manager.

The W760i is a UMTS / HSDPA 850 / 1900 / 2100 and GSM / GPRS / EDGE 850 / 900 / 1800 / 1900 phone that will be available in selected markets from Q2 2008.
