London, UK - January 8, 2009 Sony Ericsson announces that soon Vodafone customers will be able to use the GPS enabled W715 Walkman� phone to make the most of location-based services.

The W715 Walkman� phone features the same superior sound quality as the W980 Walkman� phone, which was rated �best audio experience� in independent tests*. On the top of premium music experience with crystal clear sound, the W715 includes popular Walkman� features such as the music recognition application TrackID�, SensMe� for matching your mood to the music, and Shake Control to change tracks with the flick of a wrist. All this provides for a premium Music experience, fully integrated with Vodafone Music, allowing easy access to single and album downloads.

�"The W715 is another exciting exclusive for Vodafone customers. The seamless integration with Vodafone�s Music services, such as single or full album download, provides for a great overall experience on our fast and reliable network.
