The Sony Ericsson W910i is a slider model music phone. The W910i was announced on June 14, 2007 as a branded "Walkman phone" and uses version 3 of the 'Walkman Player'. The phone also features an shake control found on W580 that enables music track switching by means of a shaking the phone and also for Java J2ME based video games and applications using the Java Platform 8.

The phone, alongside the K850 Cybershot and the more expensive W960 Walkman will be the first phones from the company to use the Sony Ericsson Media Manager which replaces the now-defunct File Manager seen on older models. The Walkman music software also uses the 'SenseMe' feature which designates the mood depending on the genre and the speed of the track the user is playing. The phone has had its camera interface revamped and resembles the one seen on K850; however the BestPic feature has been replaced by Burst Mode.

The W910i was available in four different colors which have been advertised as "Hearty Red", "Noble Black", "Havana Gold" and "Silky White". Included in certain retail configurations are a 1GB or 2GB capacity memory card. As well as the Walkman digital music player, the W910i can also play FM radio with features using RDS and GraceNote TrackID service.

On February 14th, 2008, the W910 was given the GSM Association's "Best Handset 2008" award. [ [http://www.intomobile.com/2008/02/14/sony-ericsson-w910-walkman-honored-with-gsm-associations-best-handset-2008.html Sony Ericsson W910 Walkman honored with GSM Association's Best Handset 2008] ]
