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 text messages, that aside the fictional side of the phone is good and an improvement on my previous model (w850i). The big features on this phone are the walkman and the 8.1 mega pixel camera. The camera wow!! Has great focus and superb quality but has not change any real features since my w850I. The walkman become a real replacement for any ipod as the 8GB card gives a huge amount of storage space and leaves room for downloading films and TV shows. Like all phones and ipods the lack of flash player stops any real replacement for laptops and desktops but still not bad for just a phone.
The w995 has a handy navigation device on it which uses GPS and acts like a sat nav. But don't get too excited as there is no sexy voice telling you to turn left. But this does serve a purpose and will come in handy is stuck. The other good thing with the sat nav option is you can use it on walk mode. This mode allows you to walk around the city for your destination and will come handy for 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.
