Sony Ericsson has been mostly MIA in the U.S. market as of late. But they're looking to change that with the W995A, an American tuned version of the high-end W995 handset that the company announced a few months ago. That means the W995A now has a proper tri-band (850/1900/2100 MHz) HSDPA data radio in addition to being a quad-band (850/900/1800/1900 MHz) EDGE phone.The W995A features a powerful Cybershot 8.1-megapixel camera with face detection, auto-focus, image stabilization, and flash capability. It works like a regular camera: flip it on its side and use the screen as a horizontal viewfinder. It also comes with a premium set of Sony stereo ear buds, a full lineup of Walkman-style music capabilities, and built-in GPS navigation with voice-enabled, turn-by-turn directions.
Sony is bundling its PSP-style Media Go software for transferring photos, videos, and music files to and from the W995A. There's also a 2.6-inch non-touch LCD screen, a 3.5mm audio jack, and a Memory Stick Micro slot with an 8GB card included in the box. The W995A will be available in stores and on SonyStyle.com for "about $600" on July 6th. Stay tuned for a full review.
