AT&T picks up Sony Ericsson W760a

AT&T gets the Sony Ericsson W760a.
(Credit: Corinne Schulze/CNET Networks)AT&T gave us a bit of good news today when the carrier announced it would add the Sony Ericsson W760a to its lineup. The W760a is the North American variant of the very excellent, and CNET Editors' Choice winner, Sony Ericsson W760i, which we reviewed earlier this year.
Features are the same between the two devices, but the AT&T version adds support for unique carrier services including AT&T Navigator and AT&T Mobile Music. The eye-catching design is also the same as the W760i, and AT&T will offer the W760a in the three color versions: black, silver, and red. The W760a is $129.99 with a two-year contract.

About the W760a...it's a much needed upgrade from the W580i, basically the same software, but better battery life if the battery is trained properly, and much more durable. My only complaint is the time it takes to maneuver from screen to screen. Overall...I'll give it an "A" for this phone category.

- the sony w760a is a great phone except for one very dumb button AT&T thought needed to be on the from of the phone.. They put the MediaNet button on the bottom of the phone with one way to disable it. I had the phone for one day and almost very time I slid it open I went to the internet. If you have unlimited internet it fine , but if you don't like me you get charged airtime. I talk to AT&T, all they would do is block the internet. Then that make picture and Video messaging useless. One of the two companies screwed up but neither would admit it.
