Touch of class Review ofSony Ericsson W950i Walkmanby
gaz_close
Advantages: Hugh touch screen, massive memory, great geatures Disadvantages: No camera, no slots of memory cards
...In the box comes:
Sony Ericsson w950i (stylus slides into the phone)
Charger (which you can also insert your headphones into which is very handy)
USB cable
Full instruction manual
Sony Ericsson software CD-ROM.
If you are wondering where the stats for the camera are…there isn't one!
So there you have the specs for it, all in all not too shabby what so ever.
Big plus points on the phone are obviously the touch screen, once you get the hang ... ...You can use the standard Sony Ericsson software but I've never been one for that & this also doesn't work on Windows Vista yet. I just plug in my USB cable and open it as a folder & place my music in the music folder. Just like that!
Once you have done this go to Update Music & this will detect all your music for you.
One drawback which is pretty shocking is the loudspeaker & I know I am not alone in thinking this. It is extremely quiet & you would ...

Advantages: Large memory, durable & superb touchscreen, UI3 interface is so user friendly. Massive memory, sound quality good. Disadvantages: Battery life, keypad. Memory not upgradeable. No camera.
I got this phone sim-free (fully unlocked) on an O2 contract barely 2 weeks ago and I'm impressed. New to the realm of smartphones I was initially skeptical and put off by what I thought would be a steep learning curve, but boy was I wrong.
First impressions are important, and this phone does not lack in that department. It is amazingly light and has a rock solid build quality to it. I am a heavy user, and always fiddle with it whenever I have free ... ...helps in that it does not collect dust, but unlike all the other phones I have owned this phone has yet to develop any of the rattles or creaks that usually develop after some use, especially where the battery cover is concerned. It still doesn't fail to incite the WOW factor, especially when I whip it out on the tube to change a playlist or use the stylus to write a text message (there will definitely be at least someone awed by it). It is truly ...

"ONE OFF" Phone Review ofSony Ericsson W950i Walkmanby
mahiumair
Advantages: Excellent MP3 + Sound quality, 4GB Memory, Big Screen Disadvantages: No camera, Keypad, Battery life
...bit disappointing) In battery wars sony ericsson has never been able to meet the standards of Nokia and Samsung and so most of the time, I had to keep the phone on charging (as I’m a heavy user). The phone has touch keys and for heavy users of text messaging, like me - the keypad is a pain. In terms of the buttons’ design, they have a small gaps, which makes it a bit difficult to type long messages and I found using the ‘hand writing recognition’ ... ...missing is the camera. If sony ericsson had introduced this feature, this star phone could have dominated most of the market which unfortunately is not the case. Initially, I was a little disappointed about there not being a camera but the massive 4GB MP3 with superior sound compensates the absence of camera. I wasn’t too concerned about the camera feature because I was using another phone at the same time – which had a good camera & image quality ...

Advantages: Various as previously mentioned. Disadvantages: User-unfriendly, many features missing.
You may notice that there are already a number of reviews for this product. As such I must stress that this will NOT be a complete review of the product but instead I thought it was important to point out some of the downsides to this product, as I believe it to be a poor purchasing decision.
I recently got this phone on a particularly good deal from the carphonewarehouse, to replace my W810i. I brought it home and came across a number of problems ... ...on opening the box I was struck by the size of the phone. To be blunt, it is a brick and is larger than my w810i which I personally consider to be slightly too big in itself. The only real benefit tot he extra size is the large screen, although this is poorly utilised. There is no quick-access button as foiund on the w810i, no easy access to the phone's address book from the main screen, and the whole operating system is generally very user-unfriendly. ...

Advantages: GOOD QUALITY SOUND, LARGE MEMORY CAPACITY AND TOUCH SCREEN. Disadvantages: LOW BATTERY LIFE.
...so I went for the Sony Ericsson W950i that I have been seeing the advertisement for long.
This actually is my first Sony Ericsson phone product that I have used so I really saw the wonders in the Sony Ericsson product. In the actual sense, the Sony Ericsson phones in terms of the camera category have a better and brighter camera than the others but don't be confused, this one does not have any camera features. Equally it has a large touch screen ... ...main feature that made the Sony Ericsson's music features a masterpiece is the presence of the walk man software with an equalizer built in the phone device.
In terms of memory and the storage music capacity it is exceptional. Very large because of the 4GB inbuilt memory and it stores up to 700 + mp3s all are the installed programmes in the phone.
Never a regret for the purchase of this phone so the urge for the I pod purchase has reduced drastically.

Advantages: Lots of gadgets Disadvantages: Same as w950, no camera
...In my opinion although the phone is great with battery life and quality of gadgets on it i would not recommend getting this vresion of the phone instead i would recommend getting the sony ericssonw950i because it is basically the same except it has walkman player which makes all the difference when it comes to sound quality and to be frank the value for money is for better is well with the sony ericssonw950i becasue the walkman mode not only gives the phone a totally different fdeel but it gives it extra goods such as the flight mode abillity inwhich if you are on a plane then you switch to flight mode and you can still use your phone becasue it switchs to basic function i.e. mp3 player....

Advantages: Good memory and quick for texting Disadvantages: The size and no camera
...I have recently purchased this phone. I think it is a good buy for my needs. I like music a lot and it has got a big memory so i can store all my music. It can also put your music in moods so when you feal happy you can play happy songs and when you are fealing sad you can listen to sad songs. With the moods there comes with a moving background when you are listening to music and you can change the colour and speed of the objects in to background. You can also use an equalizer when you want to change the tone of the song.
The only down side to this phone is that there isn't an in-built camera or video recorder but that is another bad thing.
As the phone is touchscreen it can recognize your handwriting so you dont have to press all the buttons. This feature is useful when you are on the go and need to text to somebody quickly.
A bad...
