A 3-inch capacitive touchscreen is reasonably impressive on a phone of this calibre, and the Mix Walkman's display also benefits from decent brightness and good colour depth.
The overall resolution of x pixels isn't too shabby, either. But, alas, the screen is still awkward to use. Responsiveness doesn't seem to be an issue, because the device is capable of detecting the lightest of touches. The major problem is the lack of processing power -- the phone doesn't seem able to keep up with all of the interface data the touchscreen is sending it.
Quick swipes often go unheeded because the handset is desperately trying to execute a command you gave a few seconds ago, and it's not uncommon to find that the Mix Walkman freezes for a few moments as it tries to catch up. The relatively small size of the Mix Walkman's screen should give you a reasonably good impression of the phone's overall dimensions.
Although it's not exactly a slim customer -- it's just over 14mm thick at its widest point -- it isn't very tall or wide. It almost feels like a pebble when you cradle it in your palm. Given the Mix Walkman's price, it's hardly surprising that it's constructed almost exclusively from plastic. The battery cover boasts a rubberised texture that improves grip, and there's a faux-metallic accent that runs around the entirety of the phone's sides.
This band of plastic is swappable, and the handset we reviewed came with a luminous green substitute. We can't say we were overly enamoured with it, but those of you that like to give your phone that personal touch may find it a welcome feature. Because of the Mix Walkman's diminutive size, its designers have clearly had a few headaches when it comes to button placement. While the volume rocker and Walkman shortcut keys are intelligently located, whoever made the decision to place the screen-lock button on the left-hand side of the phone needs cuffing around the ear.
It's all too easy to accidentally brush against this button during normal use, because it sits where your hand makes contact with the edge of the device. The Mix Walkman's 3. There's no LED flash and the sensor lacks autofocus capabilities. Well-lit shots are fuzzy and lack definition, while photos taken in anything but broad daylight are plagued by noise. The video-recording feature is similarly disappointing, offering clips that are only suitable for sharing via MMS.
On the upside, the camera interface is reasonably nippy and intuitive, making use of the 'corners' concept seen on the phone's main screen.
There's also a dedicated camera button on the side of the phone -- something that many manufacturers seem all too keen to omit. The phone's music player is robust, and the addition of TrackID for the identification of unknown songs and Zappin support which automatically skips to the chorus of any given track is welcome.
But, when you consider the Walkman branding, it's hard not to feel a little underwhelmed by what's on offer. There are conspicuous Go to Facebook and Go to Twitter buttons available - there are even Facebook and Twitter shortcuts in the menu - but unfortunately they all lead to the mobile site of the respective social network, viewed inside the native browser.
That overall is an unattractive, barely usable option that we're not happy with. Facebook's mobile site in the native browser is not pretty. Facebook recently released an official Java app, which looks very much like the Android app and works great on touchscreen. It supports most of Facebook's features Chat is missing though , including things that the Friends app can't do like viewing your friends' galleries.
