    Provided you're happy to take this long term view, you can buy the W960 knowing that it's a big step forwards from its predecessor. It's even a big step forwards from the P1i, in my opinion, if only because of the superb flush screen with easy corner access. Now, Sony Ericsson, get the software right and you may even tempt me away from my beloved Nokia N95. Read more

    As far as Sony Ericsson's Walkman music phones go, the W960 is pretty sedate looking. But while it might look more like a suit than a hipster, it still packs a touchscreen and the full Walkman experience. Ricky asks it to dance in this review. Read more

  5. Sony Ericsson W960i Review

    Reviewer: Softpedia
    25 December 2007

    I can definitely say that Sony Ericsson W960i is a big improvement in terms of functionality and capabilities. This is the first Sony Ericsson handset to mix Walkman series phone features with business phone features into a complete smartphone. I'd say that W960i is a much better choice for those who wanted to buy P1i smartphone and also for those that are looking to 'upgrade' their Walkman series handset. Read more

    The LCD panel is very weak. Mine cracked on the inside though the phone was not dropped.It was cracked when I took it out from my pant's front pocket. NO scratches on the external glass but the LCD on the inside got cracked. Now here's the worst part. When i went to the service centre they classified it as physical damage though there was no evidence(e.g scratches) of it on the phone exterior. Warranty will not cover that and you need to pay Sing$225. For what it's wo... Read more

  3. which is good phone - n73 or k800i?

    N73 is good and you can choose N95 as well but both these phones have software problem. Nokia N series phones are good but they are not perfect. If you have a good budget you better go with Sony Ericsson W960i . The camera is 3.15 mega pixel and rest of the features are very good as well. N series phones are rich with features but phones are very slow due to software problem. SE phones might not have high resulation camera like N series but 3.15 is preety good an...
