13. S.E w960

Waited for a long time to get this fone and what a disappointment the fone was.If this is SE's notion of competitor to the I-phone then it has a lot of catching up to do.The touch screen is nowhere as good as the I-phone's.The manual is very poor and I had to use the vodafone help page and use the w950's features to help me with some of this fone's features.It does not have many wallpapers or ringtones.I have a w900 and not once did I consult the manual and it was a breeze to use. Why does SE persist in not providing 3.5mm jack for their h/fones instead of their pathetic h/fone connectors.Please SE, you are going backwards with what you are offering product wise.I have had SE's in the past four years as contract fones and they were boyh magic fones but this w960 seems to me that they have made it very difficult to understand and work with.I hope that SE will pay attention and make their future products not so difficult to work. This fone could have been a great fone but will disappoint a lot of people,Zico

Comments:
At times you´ll miss joystick, other you´ll find the stylus handy. Most of the time you´ll deal with your finger or nail.

Pros:
Camera, WIFI b, cool walkman app.

Cons:
Walkman buttons, can´t get used to shape an sensitivity.
PDFs slopy handling (slow, messy)
Damned auto key blockiing. Forget about unblocking this in your pocket.
Keyboard blocking prevails over walkman keys.
synch tools before official release even usb conecction does not work to synch. Office siut before official release.
Fifa 3d and other cool symbian apps not working on it.
Radio keeps asking for cable headphone to be connected. No support for radio plus bluetooth head set.

Since official software is not released yet I have to use default bluetooth transfer:
Contacts are received as a message and later have to be selected individually. Same thing with songs, even when being tranfered from another SE Walkman phone

I am just going to comment briefly on the flaws, every1 has said its good points, now for the problems.

1) No 3.5mm Jack, the sony erricson jack is irritating and not durable.

2) The interface to move about gets irritating after awhile.

3) NO joy stick, or much less navigation keys but The stylus is okay. However, the stylus gets troublesome if you wanna get things done fast. Like lets say you're in the middle of something important, and you're expecting an important sms? This is a worse case scenario.

4) NICE 2.6 inch screen, but c'mon. 262k colors. Pathetic. Better of with 1.6million.

5) Same problem as nokia. The speaker is bad. Unlike the w850, which is partially covered, this one is not. As a result, music sounds raw and terrible like any nokia phone, sounds like szz szz szzz. THe speaker sounds strained when at max volume.

6) somewhat insensitive touch screen, especially big fingers.

CONCLUSION :

This phone was probably made in a rush, w/o any checking for problems or flaws. They could have at least modified the touch system or at least place navigation keys. This is a real beast to navigate with in a hurry.

16. Not bad ... could be better !!!

90%9out of 10

the phone DOES support WMA (8 and 9)
the major drawback for me is lacking Java CDC in the firmware as i use this for programing in C.

the video quality could be better.

should had a memory card slot! (it will come handy in trouble times)

so highly priced (does not worth that much)

apart from that this is a big punch from SE.

18. Its quite good

Well i am a big fan of sony ericssons', and i honestly got to say this, to people who are looking to buy this phone, think twice! The connectors that come with any type of sony ericsson phones always spoil after awhile ( Either that or its me with rough handling, i usually bring my phone along to camping trips and outdoor stuff. =P ) So the point i am bringing across is that with 8 gb internal memory, you're gonna use the USB cable a hell lot. That would mean that after 1 month of using your USB cable, in order to connect to the com, you would need to use rubber bands.. etc. Anything, even contact cleaner just to get good connectivity. The slightest bump will transfering stuff will screw up whatever is ongoing. After a few months, i have almost no connectivity, and it gets fustrating. I buy a new album, i get so angry just transfering songs into this phone. Hence, this phone would be AWESOME if it came with a card slot and with support of 8 gb memory sticks instead. However, if you're very passive user of the cable, like lets say once every few months and you transfer songs or anything else rarely this phone may be quite good for you!

Overall i would suggest this : get a blue tooth dongle if you wanna transfer less than 10 songs, themes, pictures of serveral videos.

One more thing, if you think the USb cable is the only thing affected, try the headset. Its that bad. After 6 months, i am always trying to get connectivity to the phone while walking on the streets. SOmetimes i bring along a rubberband so that the headset does not fall out.

BUt that's just the connectiviy problem. Other than that, this phone is pure bliss!

the phone itself looks quite good and the function it has is alrite as well... the sound quailty is not that bad similar to the other walkman phones... 8GB internal memory sounds pretty good but thats the disadvantage of the phone... once the phone screws up... watever important stuff u saved on the phone is lost forever... so theres the disadvantage of the phone itself havin no external memory slot... if i had to choose i would choose P1 over this phone... both have stylus, same MP camera with autofocus, both lack GPS(which isnt a big deal), same battery life, nearly everything is the same... but P1 can also play WMA music so u dont need to convert if u have a WMA music file... where as W960 doesnt... W960 may seem like the best to most people but there are still much improvement needed on this phone...
