Sony Ericsson W995 Walkman

...it. I'd previously owned a Sony Ericsson and I had loved it, so when I saw an advert for the new Sony Ericsson W995, I knew I had to get it. I'm on Orange, and so their exclusive red version of this phone really drew me in, and after reading the spec I knew this was the new phone I've been waiting for. == Appearance == One of the main features for me was that this phone is NOT a touchscreen phone. Personally I'm not one for this new touchscreen craze, ...
...they're not for me. The Sony Ericsson W995 is a sliding phone, which I like, and it has a keypad. No fancy 'mini touchscreens' to be found here either, unlike my Samsung Soul which had a small touchscreen navigation screen below the main screen and it annoyed the life out of me with its slowness. The keys on this phone are fine, and I find it very easy to text using them. No qualms there. The phone feels of excellent quality, something which I often ...

Review of Sony Ericsson W995 Walkman

The Sony Erricson W995 is a widely publicised phone- Yes, but is it really cut out for all this pro-media it has received- Yes. For starters, I received my phone in the unique red colour, which is not only unique to other mobiles out there, but is a classy tone of red, and I don't perceive as tacky, like the convential bright pink phones designed to suit female tastes etc. Turning the phone on, everything was pretty much set up for the user. The ...
...Yes Sony Erricson may boast of a "motion sensor" to change the music, but the motion needed is more of a yank or throw down of the phone whilst holding the walkman button, which quite frankly isn't soemthing many would bother doing. This is one of the minimal criticisms i have. For the children in the family, you will be pleased to know that the phone does have some rather entertaining games, one of which called bubbletown i personally have found ...

Review of Sony Ericsson W995 Walkman

I've had Sony Ericsson's all along, and the previous model I had was the C905. I'll start with the appearance of the phone. I personally think it looks very smart. It doesn't look took aimed towards just the younger generation, but doesn't look too 'businessman like' either. I think they have the balance just right. The screen is clear, although would have been better had it been slightly bigger. The colours are vibrant, and the phone has a built ...
...texting/dialling. As with most Sony Ericsson phones, the menu and interface are the same. They are, for the most part, easy to use. Although more 'advanced' features are available to those that wish to use them. The main menu layout can be changed to several different effects, and the main menu supports flash themes. The battery life of the handset is really quite good. I often leave the Wifi turned on, and through normal usage I often get around ...

I also find it great with its widesreen great value and excellent for watching movies and playing your favourite games... Its not to bulky and not very heavy and fits perfectly in and my pocket for everyday use... I think its great having a excellent Walkman slider phone with excellent sound and camera quality...

...have noticed there is more than enough features to last a life time with more coming for example walkman player and sat nav and ebay etc... Firstly I used the walkman player to test the sound quality on the phone and found it to be a brilliant as well as perect sound quality for all my music this will save you money no need to buy a hifi when you have this handset which is loud with excellent quality of sound. Its also helps that I can locate a song ...

Review of Sony Ericsson W995 Walkman

...my past 3 all being Sony Ericsson and having tried and tested several phones as part of my job I can honestly say this is one of the best phones I have had the pleasure of using and investing my cash in. Whilst I had never owned a walkman phone from Sony, I had had the past 3 cybershot phones, generally phone updates to me seem to be a carbon copy with a slight modification here and there. What I found from this phone was the best of the walkman ...
...This is an outstanding Camera Phone, 8megapixels, with face detection auto focus and flash. Built in applications such as GPS Sat Nav(network dependent) Google Maps, YouTube, BBC iPlayer, It comes packed with games, which take advantage of the motion sensor, and Wi-Fi also included. With my phone I also received an 8gb memory card and a set of speakers. Whilst the sound though the phone is good, for a tiny set of speakers the sound is outstanding ...

Review of Sony Ericsson W995 Walkman

...last phone in the 'walkman' Sony Ericsson range, and Sony has shown it will go out in style. As a previous owner of the w810i and the w910i, I recently upgraded to this new phone. There was the option to go for a touchscreen; however, I find that they still aren't responsive enough for my liking - unless you opt for the expensive iphone. The main reasons for me opting for this phone are the features listed below. What really tipped me to buying this ...
...this is what seperates a Sony Ericsson phone from the rest for me. I love listening to music - be it at the gym, walking, going to uni - with the incredible megabase found in the previous phone I was interested in the new Clear bass they have created. Personally I couldn't tell much difference, the audio was still fantastic. The headphones included this time are a better quality than previous ones and it feels and shows by completely blocking out ...

Review of Sony Ericsson W995 Walkman

I have always had Sony Ericsson phones, and apart from the battery life they are the best. This phone is small and compact, very stylish, easily fits in my hand bag and my pockets and even has a silver hook you can attached a neck tie too, to wear it round your neck. The features are great with the 8.1 Mega pixel camera, 4.0 music player, 8gb memory card for all your files photos and music (comes free with the phone)! It also comes with a good selection ...
...to purchase. Since having this phone I have personally ditched my Ipod, game boy and camera. who needs these when you have got a phone that does all four! Great graphics and opportunity to add more bits and pieces with its own software called Media Go which is downloaded onto your PC so it enables your PC to work along side your phone. Love this phone! Would recommend it, but only to those who have small hands! ...

Review of Sony Ericsson W995 Walkman

I have had this Sony for about 4 weeks and I must say its an improvement on my last model (w850i) the WiFi option allow me to connect at home and watch BBC iplayer which is located as a fuction on the menu. You download from iplayer and store on the phons 8GB memeroy card which is very handy as it will save you money on any internet charges by your network provider. One slight downside is I find the buttons a bit small and do have trouble sending ...
...any site seeing around London, I know because I've tried it and saved me stopping strangers and buying maps. I believe this feature to be free as long as you get GPS signal where you are. Overall great phone, and as ever, Sony have stole the market with this one. ...

Review of Sony Ericsson W995 Walkman

This Sony Ericsson W995 has everything all in one. You need not carry a laptop, ipod, camera or nintendo for its features contain it all: I was about to get my first phone....shocking i know, but I am glad it was the W995. To be honest, i didn't know anything about phones before; how to use one, how many megapixels are needed to make the quality of pictures good etc. But when i started looking up these things, i found myself getting more and more ...
...Google, when i came across the W995, as soon as i saw it, i knew that was the one! Kind of like phone at first sight =] I wanted to know more about this phone, and therefore researched its features. This website contains it all: http://www.sonyericsson.com/cws/products/mobilephones/features/w995?lc=en&cc=hk Eventhough i hadn't a clue about phones, i knew i wanted my phone to hold as many songs as possible, as i have a passion for music; for the ...

Review of Sony Ericsson W995 Walkman

I am a Sony Ericsson fan. Most of my phones has been Sony Ericsson because I love the way they design the phones and the software on the phone is quite good. This phone is available in black,red and silver,but I most definitely prefer the black as I think it's the most appealing. The w995 has a great 8 mega pixel camera which is quite impressive.I think this will replace the need to carry around a seperate digital camera as the w995 camera phone ...
...your computer. Being a Sony Ericsson fan, I had to get this phone the first time I saw it as it was very attractive especially in black and the user interface was designed quite well.In my opinion this is one of the best phones on the market and especially within the Sony Ericsson range. ...

Review of Sony Ericsson W995 Walkman

i have the w995 i bought it brand new off ebay for £300 it is a good phone dont get me wrong but i feel as if it lets you down a little as f you expected abit more from it the good points about the phone are: the 8.1 megapixel camera is great and the 8gb memory card it comes with and you can also get a memory card of 16gb for it the sound quailty is also high standard and is quiet low for the phone comes with speakers aswell wifi connection ...
...hands is good aswell just makes it seem great the downsides to the phone: the buttons are too small its freezes when you click too fast if you clivk play on the side for it to play music it would repeatly ask if you would want to play throught speakers even when you dont have headphones in when downloading videos from the internet after downloading it would freeze for a mintute or two then comes back on overall i do think its a fairly decent ...

Review of Sony Ericsson W995 Walkman

...a long term fan of Sony Ericsson phones the latest offering does not disappoint. The are several menu layouts to choose from the classic tiles format, rotating and the option to customise The main selling point for me was the fact its a great all rounder phone. Packed with a walkman media player for all your MP3 needs including a headphone jack so no need to get special Sony Ericsson ones, additionally this makes it connectible to any device with ...
...As you would expect from Sony the sound quality is fab, Im not too sure about the video player as I have currently yet to utilise this to its full potential. The phone itself is a stylish little number wit a slide front. Whilst closed it looks like one of the MP3 walkman's. It has an 8mp camera which takes good pictures although it'l never replace a good digital camera, but then again I have yet to see a camera phone that would. All in all a great ...

This phone offers everything, Easy to use, it looks amazing, great camera.. To sum up, Its incredibly cool! I myself am not one to go out and look for a touch screen phone, In my opinion there is far to much that can go wrong! With this phone its new, modern and has all you want from a phone but it is simple. Its just as easy to use as the most simple phone around, thats how I feel mobiles should be like, just as easy to use but so much better. ...
...made my digital camera redundant. I would recommend this phone to anyone, even to those who find all this new technology hard to get there head around, plus you can get this phone in many greats contract deals on the internet. Great phone, I certainly wont need to upgrade for a long time! ...

Review of Sony Ericsson W995 Walkman

Out of all the mobile phones ive had this one is the best, its really easy to use straight out the box, the speaker quality on the phone is amazing for something so small and the battery life is surprisingly good for something with so many functions. The "walkman" aspect of the phone is by far the best part, along with the M2 memory card (which i believe is included as standard) you can fit around 8GB worth of music and sounds just as good as any ...

Review of Sony Ericsson W995 Walkman

I purchased this phone about two weeks ago as I really wanted a 8mp camera as there is never enough room in my handbag for a phone and a camera. The camera on the phone is fantastic with an awesome zoom although when zoomed in at its fullest it does go a little pixellated. The phone is very easy to use, similiar style to the Nokia N95, the on screen colours look amazing too. Music can be downloaded or uploaded to the phone and the package comes with ...
