Sony Ericsson W960i

 

Complete with a touch display, decent camera and 8GB of storage, is this mobile phone a significant improvement over its predecessor?

I don't understand why these two groups aren't conflated into one, and no, you can't alter the structure. Once you are experienced with the phone it's probably not a significant point, but there is a definite learning curve.

Sony Ericsson W960i review

 

Highest end Walkman has some dazzling features, but it's not the easiest to use

Great 3.2 megapixel camera with good editing features ; Useful 3G and Wi-Fi connectivity ; Generous 8GB internal storage ; Simple touchscreen interface

Occasionally slow operation ; Awkward to navigate ; Battery life isn't great ; No memory card expansion

The top-of-the-range Walkman is certainly packed with features, it's just a shame it isn't a bit easier to use.

Sony Ericsson W960i review

 

Most Sony Ericsson Walkman phones are small, inexpensive models. The W960i is Sony's flagship Walkman phone: an expensive, fully fledged smartphone as well as a music player.

Sony Ericsson W960i review

 

With the iPhone and Nokia N95 8GB already rocking the mobile music house, Sony Ericsson's W960i needs to pull out all the stops to compete

A massive disappointment. Sneaks a fourth star for its musical talent, but both the iPhone and N95 8GB are more compelling multimedia mobiles

Sony Ericsson's new super-powered Walkman phone brings 8GB storage, a 3.2MP camera and some new Shake controls. We've had an exclusive hands-on…

The W960i is a huge improvement on its predecessor and looks destined to become our favourite Walkman phone. Heck, we might even sell our Nano

Sony Ericsson - W960i

 

Sony Ericsson is probably best known for its Walkman and Cybershot branded handsets, but the company also turns its hand to smartphones. There have been several smartphones over the years, all running the UIQ operating system. ...

With 8GB of storage, a touch-screen and full smartphone credentials, it is a real shame that the user interface lets things down for this music-playing smartphone.

Comparative review: Sony Ericsson W960i vs Nokia N81 8Gb

 

It has been almost a year since the last time we put two music-minded handsets face to face " as you probably remember, back then these were the SE W880i and Samsung F300. The former held the upper hand, although the F300 was more than a passable...

Probably, the second part of the preface should explain ourselves, why did we pick these handsets. First of all, they are two rivals, smartphones with boatloads of memory onboard and some other things in common. Secondly, to a greater or lesser extent,...

The 100k install runs as expected on my N95-1 and, accepting the normal privacy and legal notices, it drops the application icon into the usual folder.

Ewan Spence follows up our initial review with a detailed look at the Walkman's music playback abilities...

Yes, the Sony Ericsson W960 is a UIQ3-powered smartphone. Yes, it's got all the bells and whistles we come to expect from a Symbian device. And yes, Steve's looked at it quite intensely from that point of view. But this is a 'Walkman' phone. This is...

Sony Ericsson W960i Review

 

Sony Ericsson's W960i Walkman phone is one of the best equipped phones around, but its touchscreen interface is a real drag.…

One of the most feature packed phones around

The touchscreen interface is a real pain to use

Sony Ericssson's W910i Walkman is much easier to use.
