Sony Ericsson W205 is an entry-level dual-band GSM/GPRS Walkman phone with a focus on music playback. It was announced on 7 April 2009 under the marketing tag ‘your first Walkman phone’.

"The W205 is perfect for those who love portable music but have never had the Walkman phone experience," said Timo Maassmann, Marketing business manager at Sony Ericsson.[1]

The device is a slider phone featuring a 1.8-inch, 16-bit high color (65k) TFT screen, with a resolution of 128×160 pixels. It features a rear-mounted 1.3 MP camera with up to 2.2× digital zoom and video recording.[2]

Software-wise, it has a Walkman player, which supports MP3 and AAC files, plus playlists, shuffle and loop modes, display of album art, and track identification via Sony Ericsson’s TrackID service.

The phone features a native WAP 2.0 browser and the Java-based Opera Mini.[3] The native browser and Opera Mini can be configured to use different connectivity profiles.

The W205 contains an FM radio with RDS and an integrated antenna. The ability is provided to record radio either onto the 5 MB of internal memory or up to 2GB of external memory to the Memory Stick Micro (M2) memory card. Such recordings can also be saved and used as ringtones.[4] Activation of the FM radio requires a headset or a functionally compatible audio output device connected to the phone.

The phone comes in a various colour schemes: Ambient Black, Creamy White, Sakura Pink and Windy Blue.[5]

Standby time (GSM/GPRS) is up to 425 hours, while talk time is up to 9 hours. Music listening time is up to 13 hours.

The phone employs a proprietary FastPort outlet for the charger, headphones and the data cable. The latter facilitates USB connectivity and charging, and requires the model DCU-60 or compatible cable.
