== Sony Ericsson W960i ==
One of the newest Sony Ericsson cell phones on the market, a great promise, but what's inside for real - can SE live up to its promise, can't they or do they give even more?
I've upgraded to W960i after years of using W800i and a brief Nokia E51 experience. === Quick summary ===
The phone takes about a minute to start and you can select among switching on the phone or a flight mode - safe to use the device on board or ... ...useful. '''Software'''
Sony Ericsson PC Suite on the CD allows you to synchronize phone with your computer, create backups and transfer files. The file transfer can however be also used in simple USB mass storage device mode, where the speed is amazing - 6 to 8MB per second!! That allows you to transfer your music library into the phone quite quickly, especially since there's 8GB of flash memory to fill, plus 160MB phone/media memory. When making ...

Sony Ericsson W960i
After the releasing of Apple iphone Sony has encountered tough competition with its walkman series phone. Before iphone Sony Ericsson was the king of music phones, but now the real competition starts and fully featured phone has been released. Nokia is also struggling to get status in music category phones. So in this competition period we have seen some good models of music phones in recent years. Sony Ericsson has launched ... ...sound quality and I think Sony Ericsson provides best sound quality in phones and I am fond of Walkman series phone due to its superb music player. The equalizer facility also available in handsfree with Bass or mega bass feature. And the megabass ofwalkman player provides excellent experience of sound in phones. Phone also has a dedicated walkman key for instant access to music player.
And the most compulsory feature in any phone called FM radio ...

Advantages: Brilliant media player, great camera, PDA and MS office support, infinitely expandable with UIQ Disadvantages: poor battery life if too many applications used, lack of HSDPA
...primary digital camera, and because Sony have been making cameras for years, the lenses are all top-quality optics (Sony's economy of scale means they're so cheap). I am constantly disappointed by Nokia's camera/lens offerings (my girlfriend's Nokia 6300's 2 megapixel camera is an abomination, seemingly barely worthy of status as VGA)
The Walkman media player is STUNNING! It's a massive leap on Walkman player in the W810, and the clunky player on ... ...twice a week. In spite of these minor oversights, Sony has created a demon here.
In conclusion, this is a really great phone that somehow bridges the gap between media manager, phone, office PDA and camera with ease. A brilliant release Sony, keep up the good work! ...

...the product when it arrived. Sony Ericsson scored an ace in that respect. The free pouch it came with certainly help keep the phone in good condition.
The appearance of the phone is smart. The white strip provides a good contrast with the black of the rest of the phone, but despite being a nice stylistic device, it doesn't really hide the fact that the phone is quite large. Not unexpected, given the type of phone, but a fact nevertheless.
The phone ... ...where it should be, making navigation of the lists easy. Just as well, because it is quite dificult to scroll down the lists using the stylus and touch screen. The touch screen works much better when clean, I find that grime can acccumulate on it quite quickly. Unfortunately, it is quite prone to being scratched. Again, this can be minimised by keeping the phone in the pouch supplied, but this is not always practical for short periods of time. The ...

Advantages: has large memory capacity for music with bright picture. Disadvantages: music runs down battery and price too high.
Sony Erickson has shown how good they are in making good camera and Walkman phones. To me, I prefer them to Nokia in making good Walkman phones. It has good and nice black shining colour with good features. With nice earpiece that produces good quality sound system. The battery last long even when playing music but I am still looking up to conducting a battery test.
It has nice and fantastic pictures. In my own case, I prefer Sony Eriksson camera ... ...the games.
The Sony Eriksson is capable of navigating and browsing media files with a soft touch.
The touch screen is quite easy to use and can to input text through the stylus which is the new features and some thing to enjoy.
In my own case, normally run my batteries down do to the mp3 player and the game when tired with my psp and my ps2 console. Thanks to the Eriksson efficient phone charger because most of the time, it is either in use or ...

Advantages: Touchscreen & massive memory Disadvantages: Can sometimes be slow
I have owned the Sony Ericsson "W960i" for a while now and thought I would write a review about it. TouchScreen
I like the touchscreen on this phone; it saves having to scroll through different menus to access what you want as you can just directly touch the button needed. From the desktop, you have two options; the main menu and a shortcut menu where you can add your own icons for things that you use most often. I think that this type of usage ... ...also just makes it seem more advanced than phones without touchscreens.
Music
The music function on this phone is very good in my opinion. You can have music stored on your phone in many different locations and in any named folders and the music software saves you from having to remember where you've saved things. You can select an option to search for music and it will scan the whole of your phone to find every music track available and then allows ...

Review of Sony Ericsson W960i
Advantages: 8GB Internal Memory, Touch Screen, 3G & Stylish Design Disadvantages: NO Infrared port, Sound average
The Sony Ericsson W960i is about the same size as there other Cyber-Shot range but is more stylish in design compared to there previous Walkman series.
- 109 x 55 x 16 mm
- 119 grams
The phone has no card slot as seen in previous models but has a impressive 8GB of internal memory, so why would you want a card slot? 8GB internal memory is big enough for internal standards let alone for external cards.
The W960i is a 3G phone and has many features ... ...wasn't that impressed with the Sony Ericsson W960i. The issues which concerned me were firstly the sound. Being a walkman phone as it is marketed you would expect the sound quality to be decent but unfortunately it is merely average. There are also issues with the touch screen its not as effective as it should be compared to its competition the iPhone, it has problems with the design. The W960i's competition Nokia's N-Series would be a better choice ...

...always been a fan of Sony Ericsson mobile phones, and also of the W Series Walkman phones. I currently own a SE P1, which is SE's other main Symbian phone currently on the market.
The W960 is obviously primarily a music phone. The focus being on a in-built music player. The player gives a good range of options, including graphic equalizer, and the sound quality is good. The phone itself is quite attractive, but does appear quite bulky compared to ... ...is a great phone, with a lot of features.

Quick review of Sony Ericsson W960i
I was experiencing a musical experience with Sony Erricson. As I have a flare for music, I prefered this handset over Nokia Music series and finally benefitted. The sound system is very good and once I had purchased this handset, I don't feel the need of carrying a MP4 or a walkmen along. Apart the network receiving in far better than some other handsets of similar range. It is quite difficult to handle as the buttons are not as userfriendly as those from the Nokia but still it is better to use. The battery needs to be recharged frequently and it is a chronic problem of the Sony Erricsons. Those who can't depart with music, they can go with this handset and I bet, no one will regret later. ...
