Sony Ericsson W960i

reading the reviews and its specs, its very well a good competitor of the iphone.

Got this phone today it is brilliant the camera

The W960 is a full touch screen phone, the best walkman ever and definately an Iphone killer. Whoever got this product for review need to get a fully functional one

I would say tht u still shouldn't go for this phone......5800 has all the types of input methods that W960i has,, even the number pad method (but the numbers appear on the screen),, and that too the screen is bigger so it is easier to type,, but still its your choice!!

well i like this cell phone so much because its really fast and every thing is available in this phone suppose if talk about memory space so it has 8 GB memory space, really fast interface fully loaded walkman player version 3 large TFT screan wid touchscreen system. When i saw this cell at first time i didnt give my full attention on this cell phone but now im a big fan of this phone

I haven't changed my phone in 4 years and it took me this long to wait and look for this amazing phone! I love all the features especially the 8GB memory which is BIG enough, 3.2 MP cam and the fact that it's a Walkman phone! A cool phone for music enthusiast. Beat that! This phone rocks! Yippee.

An interesting mix of business and music features enlarges W960i's target, widening its desirability. Excellent sound, high WiFi speed and 8GB storage space, as well as very fast USB data transfers speeds also rise its functionality. I should also mention the great battery and camera, which are well above average. A true high-end smartphone, Sony Ericsson W960i should be placed at the peak of SE's range of business phones.

The features list speaks for itself. All that's left to do is to set it up properly and get used to the UIQ interface in order to take advantage of all those functions. The only limiting factor is the processor 208mhz is quite low spec for this type of smartphone. Camera is fiddly. For good pictures, you have to press the camera button on the side halfway, this helps the phone focus and lock on its subject. After it's locked, you press fully. So, it's a 2 process thing, you have to first focus and lock before you take the picture. That's why it seems to take long. Walkman function needs its own review. It's simply amazing and rivals any stand-alone mp3 player out there. It's got a simple, yet elegant interface and the graphics are very engaging especially after setting up moods for your songs.

Unfortunately my phone has just been sent back for repair as a software fault has meant I can no longer send text messages, this is ok though as I have received a free replacement handset and the W960 is being repaired for free under the warranty. I have had the phone since March 2008 and have been very happy overall despite this problem.

This phone is awesome!..d sound was very outstanding!! However d camera is too slow in capturing the picture..

I own this phone and sold it with regret. It really is a sick phone. not sure why Sony did this way. But i am a sony lover and no matter what i just hate the Nokia ( i call Nokia as plastic mobiles makers)

Plus the possibilities with this phone are endless. The compaitbilities of this phone is remotely similar to that of a pc. I only had this fone for a short while but fell in love with it. There are so many applications and games available for this phone because it can basically use applications from UIQ , and regular phones.

Design: This bar handset measures 109 x 55 mm and weighs around 119 grams (battery included). These numbers are not too much for a Smartphone, even if it lacks full QWERTY keyboard. Instead, Sony Ericsson W960i features a standard keypad, which might seem a little bit crowded. Keys are wide but there's no space in between them, which might cause a 'lag' when texting messages. Otherwise there's nothing bad about it, as the compound used for manufacture has been skillfully chosen. This might be one of the few Smartphone that won't be a fingerprint magnet, even if used heavily. A nice contrast between the glossy front and mat back cover adds to the glamorous look. Right above keypad layout, you will notice three touch controls that will be enabled the moment you start using the music player. The touch keys controlling the music player are pretty responsive, mostly thanks to the huge touchscreen display. Above the screen, one can see the benefits of the UMTS technology â?? a second camera used for video calls. On the mat back cover of the Smartphone the 3.15 Megapixel camera module is the main attraction. It features dual LED flash and autofocus. The big external speaker placed right near the camera enables users to listen to music together with their friends. Sony Ericsson 'borrowed' the power up button from Nokia and placed it on top of the handset. Both sides of the Smartphone feature few buttons such as: dual volume keys and camera button on the right side, and a jog wheel to ease the navigation through the menus. The bottom of the phone features the usual universal port specific to Sony Ericsson handsets, which can be used to charge the phone, to sync it with your PC or to attach the earphones. There's also a stylus that you can use with the touchscreen on top left of the phone, above the jog wheel. This might look (again) like a phone especially created for left-handed persons, but you'll get used to it. Display and Camera: The 2.6'' TFT touchscreen supports 262k colors, 240 x 320 pixels resolution, those that are looking to record clips should know that the camera doesn't score too good as a video-camera. It is only able to shoot in QCIF mode with a maximum resolution of 320 x 240 pixels at 15 fps. Lower resolutions (176 x 144 pixels) enable the possibility of capturing movies at 30 fps, but the image is low on details. The Smartphone comes with 128 MB RAM and 256 MB flash (96 reserved for Symbian and 160 user memory). The phone lacks any microSD slot card for memory expansion, but it comes with 8GB storage memory, which makes the slot card useless. The Smartphone includes an RDS radio that can store up to 20 stations. All in all, the phone features the true sound of a Walkman series handset, so any fan of the series can get the phone â?? it will not disappoint you. The music player can read MP3, AAC, AAC or e-AAC file formats and features DRM function. For Detailed Review: http: //sirajrangwala. blogspot.com/
