DEAR SANTA..

[outlaw64n6574]

how much does it cost now?

[khans620]

1 of the best phone 4 music ever, alongside with n91

[aedryanchklar]

Good phone, although considering it's a walkman phone, the media player isn't as good as it should be. When playing all songs, the songs are ordered alphabetically, rather than by album and artist as every other media player in the world does. There's no option as far as I can tell to change this.

The wifi is slow, but 3G is great.

I've noticed that over time, the amount of battery lost while my phone is switched off over-night has increased slowly from negligible to noticeable.

[OriginalHeavyweight]

got this phonelast week the one downfall i have with it is the memory card slot didnt realise I would have to get an M2 memory card but hey they should be cheap lol. Smashing phone

[pietruck1215]

i want this phone and i currently have android idk y but sony is great

[pietruck1215]

great review thanks

[corneel25]

If you're interested:+it comes standard with a 8Gb memory stick micro

+ i dropped it from about 1.5m high on a concrete floor and it has nothing but a scratch in the paint

+most of the casing is metal

+ very good battery life

-writing on the back and front dissapear after a year or 2 (ex. 8.1 mp on back side)

-for some reason my w995 doesn't play some of the mp4 files I download

-there is sometimes a bad connection with the charger, like all other sony ericsson phones

[xhuljo10]

this amazing mobile phone is sooo European... ;-) cheers from Europe....

[craigc3331]

Sony Ericsson Walkman is the best! Nokia Express Music is NOT comparable.

[LAGDOW]

Is the best mobile I am using now this comment on YouTube.

[RevanFlashman]

On my 2nd of these phones, left my 1st one in my jeans when i put them in the wash! Great phone though. :)

[SONGSTICKS]

@RevanFlashman

Hi,

I was given one of these with a 16gb sd card, cos my mate got a free upgrade to an Android phone.

Never been particularly into mobiles, but I just love this thing. I've used it to do most of my youtube music vids.

In the video above by Borat, he mentions (too quickly) the sound sensor feature. Do you know I can get that on my phone? Cheers

[RevanFlashman]

@SONGSTICKS My phone was pre-loaded with the sensor when i got it. Go to the organiser section and you should have an application sub-section, mine's in there. Other than that, you could try the online store of your service provider, but i suppose that would fepend on who you are with. Hope that helps? :)

[RevanFlashman]

@RevanFlashman Doh! Depend on who you are with. :D

[SONGSTICKS]

@RevanFlashman

Cheers for that.

I just looked in the organiser section/applications but I hint got it !

I'll try the T-Mobile website as you suggested..cheers

[RevanFlashman]

@SONGSTICKS No prob. May well be worth looking on the Sony Erricson site also.

[shaneevz]

[00DaNnY000]

HAHA why are people comparing blackberry models against the se w995?? blackberrys are blackberrys difference is the w995 will last for years and years and the battery on a w995 will outlast any blackberry model on the market fact!! even heavy usge txting music on a dayily basic the battery outlasts alot of phones out there in the phone market

[NetWrestling]

dont look at the percent scroll down to look at w995 vs bold 9780

[NetWrestling]

i have a blackberry bold 9780 which is better then a shit w995

[mw2fangood]

@NetWrestling in what way is ur black burry better

[NetWrestling]

@mw2fangood ok i have blackberry messenger. 5.2 megapixel camera with flash which is still good. blackberry 6. blackberry app world. 3g internet browsing. facebook chat. blackberry app world. the phone is almost $400. go to google and type in blackberry bold 9780 vs w995(just w995 not sony ericsson) and click on the first one that will tell you which is better

[mw2fangood]

@NetWrestling wow calm down they are only phones and i have a samsung galaxy ace so i was just wondering

[norluan]

How much does it cost now?

[kanetidus]

this phone have everything that i ever wanted!

[rockstarlagarto]

on the video displayed, the detector missed to check the penis size of the guy...

[xXRaulXaviXx]

es magnificooo

[missnuttylikesyou]

The flower you took the picture of isn't in good quality because it needs to be in macro setting and you need to half press the button until the quality is set. Then it would be excellent.

[samat94]

@6nightrhyme6, can you shut the f**k up? There are kazakhs watching this video as well. :angry:!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[LoLRaider]

sorry, i hate your voice

[YTinjustice]

[norluan]

[RA6B]

@norluan Yeah, 2.1 with bluetooth

[norluan]

does this phone supprot a wireless headphone?

[CrazyFreak991]

[6nightrhyme6]

Way to go Borat ... lol..

[knatte9]

[iThurts14]

OMG OMG I WANNA HAVE SEX WITH THIS PHONE

[iThurts14]

FUCK ME im buying this fantastic phone

[S69NER]

i love this phone!!! i used it under att and movistar mexico

such great phone to watch movies and hear music also take great pictures i would definitely get it over any touch screen phones

[haraswift]

hey , it has self camera ??

[Lanciarules]

@haraswift yes it has

[haraswift]

@Lanciarules what about 6700 slide ?

[Lanciarules]

@haraswift W995 in my opinion is better: 6700 slide is a cheap smartphone (it has symbian o.s.), but it's a low end model, while W995 between conventional phones is the best

[haraswift]

@Lanciarules people said that sony ericsson phone will be easily damaged , is it true ?

[Lanciarules]

@haraswift According to my experience it's not true: they really are great phones! I'v got W850, C902, K660 and G705, my father has W595, my mother Z310, my girlfriend Jalou and they are all really excellent phones.

[manxxx95]

c905 or this?

[Lanciarules]

@manxxx95 C905 only for the camera and xenon flash. For my use I would prefer W995 because of its dimension, its frontal camera (c905 lacks of this feature) and its 3,5mm jack

[jorge01091988]

me gusta este telefono



[andipanderson1]

he needs to get a manicure.....

[PoisonSapphire]

Hahah i have it :D

[xLinkinPark1994x]

[bumbagere]

does anyone know where I can buy this phone? I've looked on o2, Vodafone, 3, Carphone Warehouse, Orange and Phones 4 U and I can't find it! Thanks

[RochoWWY]

git tel :)

[knelling]

Jeg lika den,men e får ikke vær me ut i verden med den.Ka syns dåkker?

[indskab]

I just bought this cell phone two months ago and it's really great, because it's a lot different than Nokia, cuz all of the years I've been only buying Nokia cell phones, nevertheless, Nokia also good!

[SemirHallford]

@indskab

Dude welcome to the SE world !

I hate Nokias I had hunderds of nokias and each one of them always dissapionted me I always had to repair them but Sony...Sony never let me down since then Im always buying Sony Ericsson because its a milion times better then fucking Nokia

[firehero180]

Just Got this Phone On O2

[motoslam]

does anyone elses w995 lag? like whenever i text or anything i get that annoying hourglass symbol...sometimes it lasts for 4-5 seconds. =S

[a7xunlimited1]

Best phone

[FluffyFooFookins]

For something that's supposed to be a phone first, you'd think they'd give it features that any old payphone could do, such as including basic things like how long a call lasted in the call manager.

[bikerboy3k]

@FluffyFooFookins

thats the most bullshit thing ever you are right sir. BUT i want to ask is this the best phone from the walkman series ? AND MOST IMPORTANT are the SE W phones the best choice for music fans like myself ? i want quality blasting high sound from the loudspeakers music based options, dedicated buttons and so on

[FluffyFooFookins]

@bikerboy3k

Well the speaker add on you get with it is cheap rubbish and pretty much a waste of money that should've gone to making the phone better.

Also that the headphones are ok but you can easily get better ones which makes a good difference.

It is a very good sound quality through headphones, with good bass if wanted, it seems to lack depth at times, as though more sound channels are needed, but I've never heard anything else play something so crystal clear and precise. .

[CosminCP]

when you are in the menu you can press 123456789 to enter in a folder

[roms3]

Anyone else has a problem with the slider mechanics?

There is a gap between the right-lower part of the screen...

[rendell090688]

fuck this phone!

[C2theCity]

Does anyone know where I can buy this phone with speakers?

[flowermaster91]

@C2theCity t mobile shop! mine came with the phone

[deathscythekim729]

God i love his accent..I WANT TO PUNCH HIM SO BAD

[deathscythekim729]

its in my hand right now..i hate touch phones

[kabadahija1]

eeee i ja imam sony ericsson w995 the of

[honeyshucks0709]

1. Both the camera and video camera are fantastic. You just don't know how to use them properly.

2. The sound quality is fine either end of a phone call. My friend has one and so do I and we can hear each other on it clearly.

[rainxxxx]

@honeyshucks0709 the pictures are shite, you can not zoom in on them!

[honeyshucks0709]

@rainxxxx Actually you can. Press the up down volume keys dumb arse.

[rainxxxx]

@honeyshucks0709 only on the photos, goto menu, organiser, file manager, pictures, now tell me if you can zoom in on them mouth brain!

[honeyshucks0709]

@rainxxxx I'm telling you now that you can zoom in on pictures.

[rainxxxx]

@honeyshucks0709 yes i know that einstein, but if you follow the instructions to what i said earlier about going into the pictures menu, you will see that you cant, so i'm telling YOU you cant under different circumstances!

[honeyshucks0709]

@rainxxxx I did just that and guess what? I can still zoom in O_o

[rainxxxx]

@honeyshucks0709 no you cant not in that section

[FluffyFooFookins]

@honeyshucks0709

Get a Xenon flash 5mp phone or camera in a dim indoors area and pit it against the w995, the former will destroy it.

The camera is very good but you can't deny it's a pathetic flash.

[honeyshucks0709]

@FluffyFooFookins Actually, I find the flash brilliant. I take a lot of photos in different locations. I also use the video camera to film horses which tests the phone's video quality and I also use the camera to take close ups. So in conclusion, the flash is fantastic.

[MrNickcafc]

@honeyshucks0709 no, the camera is shit, and the video quality bitrate + resolution is beyond a joke

[jonny9700]

IS IT BIGGER SCREEN THEN IPHONE 4

[MegaFilip00]

@jonny9700 no

[SuperGhostuk]

The Sony Ericsson w950i also has 3 big-ish speakers at the back. I have had it for a good few years now and has always been reliable and good at its job (with music, but no camera). It is an old model.

How is the memory with the w995?

[honeyshucks0709]

@SuperGhostuk I have one too, they're pretty indestructible :D

I don't know how good it is really, I have an 8Gb card in mine :}

[SuperGhostuk]

@honeyshucks0709 The W995 or W950i? I now have 16 GB card in my W995... awesome sound quality

[honeyshucks0709]

@SuperGhostuk Woops, thought you were talking about the w995, sorry ^.^

[SuperGhostuk]

@honeyshucks0709 Think this vid should mention it is one of the last models using M2 memory cards and can have up to a max of 16 GB M2 Memory Card.... I'm still loving it. Although it's now an old model and easily out done it can still handle itself but could do with a vid revamp. Not sure if you are already looking for a new mobile or not lol

[honeyshucks0709]

@SuperGhostuk Ah no, I've only had the w995 for three-four months ^_^

[SuperGhostuk]

@honeyshucks0709 same here... great mobile none-the-less

[MrOsamaful]

@TheGingerhater100

So funny, and i'm elizabeth II and i'm stupid.

[chongwaileong1997]

Hey can i use my w595 change w995??

[hippievogelei]

@chongwaileong1997 i couldnt understand why people didnt bought w9** serie phone isntead of a w595, i love the w960i a touchscreen walkman.

[GunzhunterLOPPAN]

My phone :)

[jonny9700]

BEST PHONE I HAVE ONE I THINK IT'S VERY GOOD PHONE AND IT'S CHEEP I THINK THIS PHONE IS BETTER THEN I PHONE NOT I PHONE 4 I PHONE

EVERYONE SHOULD GET THAT PHONE

I PHONE DONT HAVE EVEN 8.1 MEG

[iiRoNiiCPB]

@jonny9700 yea but the iPhone 4 has a 5 megapixel camera.. not as good as the Sony ericson, but it has a larger screen.

[henryhooverking]

@iiRoNiiCPB the iphone has 5 megapixel but the 995 has 8.1 i no as i have the phone showed its awsome

[honeyshucks0709]

@iiRoNiiCPB The iPhones camera is no where near as good as this SE.

[Grzybasnt]

kurde akcent jak polak

[tupacshakur5633]

man i have bb bold 9700,lg ku990,old w810i i miss walkman fone i wana buy diz 1!!!! looks soo hot sick fone music,game,camera everyfing look gd bwt diz fone also wifi

[909nemesis]

@vitalhours HI vitalhours, I would like to ask if there is any problem with this phone such as "inactive sim" which the phone will automatically turn off by itself and then turn back on. I am currently using a w910i which is happening to have this "inactive sim" problem which is frustrating because its always turning on and off by itself so im thinking about getting the w995. Please tell me if you are having the same problem or not. Thank you.

[unknown2022]

You're accent is God-tier.

[fuegos123456]

Fix your accent

[honeyshucks0709]

I disagree with the comment about 'Sony Ericsson cameras being crap'. My 3.2 on my k770 is miles better than my 7.2 samsung digital camera. I imagine this 8.1 on this model will impress me. I'm a sucker for SE and their cameras, getting mine on Saturday :}

[kintatzu333]

getting this one on monday :) i was stuck on choosing between HTC desire, satio, bl40 chocolate... and this phone is my top pic yipee, cool and sleek design, simple :)



[619souvik]
