Thanks managed to figure it out.
The website states:
jog dial up * jog dial down jog dial down * jog dial down
I tried:
jog dial up * jog dial down jog dial down * jog dial down *
Need an additional * at the back to access the menu. Thanks!

Hi korbindallis,
Are you sure when i checked it out on the SE site it has everything the M600i has such as web browser, Office, PDF viewer, E-Mail plus of course the Walkman Player and 4GB flash memory .

korbindallis is right it seems. i downloaded the W950 user's guide from the SE website and there is no mention of the Office or PDF app in it.
@Whiteshadows
how do you find the use of the keypad?
Posted by maracl
How's the sound quality? better than the other walkman phones?
And how's the stability?

Hello there, I have never used other walkman phones but the sound quality is pretty decent. Anyway, regarding opinions on sound quality differs from person to person as this is very subjective.

Keypad is fine, just need time to get used to it. The playback buttons light up only when a song is playing or you are in the Walkman menu options. As this is my first touch screen phone, still trying to get used to handwriting recognition and other stuff. A turn off for this phone is the price and there is no WIFI!
Anyone knows where can I download applications for this phone?

Sorry, but I am a first time Symbian phone user, may I know where can I check how much ram is needed?
And is there anywhere I can check the current firmware of the phone??
Tried adding video (150mb+ 25 min) to the phone and it takes around 20+ seconds to start playing, after that the video plays smoothly.

The photos are great!!! Beautifull phone!!
Posted by spine6
A review said it has a 19.7RAM after reboot and it has a transition that makes the UI faster
Posted by maracl
Hopefully it doesn't share the same bugs / memory problems as m600 and p990

When is this Due out in the UK?
Posted by Sainty
Mmmm not bad at all
Is it more stable then? With more memory free on startup it should be really

gr8 RAM
wat RAM does w810 hav
Posted by mjaniszewski
w810 doesn't have RAM as such. it doesn't matter anyway as you can only launch one small app in java and that's all.
perhaps about 512KB?
as i said - it doesn't matter anyway.

im definately gettinmg one of these!!

Hi all,
Apologies as i could of sworn when it was first announced as coming soon the spec on the SE site said QuickOffice and PDF viewer but now it doesn't. Just Opera Web Browser and E-mail on checking further the only items it will sync is Calendar, Contacts, Notes, Tasks and that its it it won't sync E-mail and although you would think QuickOffice or Doc's2 Go would work they don't appear available on the SE site. It does appear that by giving this phone the W affix it has lost some of its business powers in favour of the Walkman player.
Can any one please tell what the difference between this Walkman player and the Music Player in the M600 as the M600 does have MegaBass and an equaliser just not adjustable other than presets.
Marc

??The Quickoffice thing confuses me too. I contacted SE last week & they said that Quickoffice will be pre-installed on the W950. Can anyone with a W950 confirm that? ?As for the availability of Docs2Go, I'm certain once the W950 is widely available the Application Shop will support it.?W950 player supports Track ID, as well as track ratings & album art.

Hi all,
The reason i posted was the new owner of the W950 stated no QuickOffice or PFD viewer is installed. Check out the W950 @ the SE site and they have some interesting guides showing the phones abilities and what it will and won't do. It does look like you will have to purchase an Office app if you need it and i can get 1gb M2 cards for £40 to reach 4gb of storage so unless i am missing something about the Walkman player this does seem an expensive M600 IMO.

Agreed.
Posted by ares
Dogman, w950 sound quality should be way better than m600, same has w810 sound quality is better than k800 or k750, or n91 sound quality is better than n80
Plus you got FM radio with rds, more advanced than P990´s, judging by the menu pics i saw (same goes to the media player)
Finally, i´m sure Documents to Go will work in it
Posted by Dogmann
Hi Ares,
Thanks for that forgot about the Radio as don't use it, not really sure just how much better than M600 and HBH-DS970's can get well not for my ears anyway 75% volume and just left on noraml preset no Megabass is more than good enough for my needs. But as i have said elsewhere it does apperar the M600 and W950 are aimed are slightly diffrerent users the M600 being more buisness orieantated with a good Music Player whilst the W950 is a great Walkman phone with e-mail and web just targeted at slightly different users.

Isn't this pretty obvious? Of course they are aimed at different markets/users.

@Whiteshadows; the keypad of the W950i in this photo looks sunken in? I'm worried if its from minimal jOY HAPPY usuage that its like this? Most likely it came that way and ALL production units will be like this. Unless its a camera angle situation.
> I'm betting that the W950i has a 10+band graphic EQ that can be individually preset. With all its walkman features especially the ratings funtion (ala iTunes ratings for preference shuffle play); I'm now guessing that THIS device is what the rumored iPhone has got to be compared to. Built in 4GB HDD is plenty for music and video (encoding efficiency is the key); and its more convenient that swapping M2 cards frequently to get the right album loaded.
I still dont see WHY they didnt keep the keypad of the M600 & added Walkman HDD & music keys?!!
Although I dont like the M600 if it had WiFi it might've done better but who knows if sales after the Casino Royale release will increase.
Posted by Coxy
The W950 has flash memory for the umpteenth time, not a HDD.
Posted by kulorex
how is the music quality? any hiss? is it at per with ipod?
what of the external speaker how good?
Posted by Coxy
I guess that if the speaker is anything like on the M600, it should be pretty decent.
Posted by korbindallis
price how much is it for and
around £500 that expensive
i was thinking around £300 is more the price i can afford
Posted by Laxe
Then try x1387: http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/New-Son[....]QQcategoryZ64355QQcmdZViewItem
I make it out to roughly £340-50 shipped. I WOULD get one but I've already gotten myself an M600i and I'm loving it!
Posted by Marc_SE
I'm still looking into getting one of these to swap with my M600i on days when I'd like music. Vodafone have offered it to me for £50/£80 upgrade on 12/18 month recommitment, but with the inevitable branding that the handset will have, I'm tempted to go simfree instead.
Can anyone comment on using the W950i and the HBH-DS970 yet? How much playback time are you getting and other related info i.e. music formats and bitrate encoding, phone calls, etc.
I'm in the Philippines at the moment and will be going to Manila for a few days next week. Gonna swing by Green Hills and see if anyone has stock yet. If anyone knows already (along with the price) please let me know!
Thanks guys!

Review on sound quality of W950i, iPod & N91.

Posted by Marc_SE
Well after walking around all of the cellphone shops, found the one at Villa Mall, Green Hills that has the W950i in stock!! They want P30k, which at the current exchange rate is £326.
Can someone (possibly Sainty) confirm if the VF W950i is gonna have branding on it (however slight ala the P990i)?
I'm in Manila till early Thurs morning, so got a few days to decide.
Posted by korbindallis
hey just a question does the w950 have recording for radio? i am not talking about the 1minute one i am talking about full recording from radio
thanks let me know
Posted by PeterKay
Must admit that pouch is a stunner, wish they had one for the P990i
Posted by litepurple
Does anyone have any firm dates when this is out on a UK network? Does any one know any online shops that do a SIM free version (non-botched software) on a contract?
Thanks,

Just got mine delivered from carphone warehouse. Unlocked version as well on O2 contract.
Posted by Marc_SE
Any chance you can list your firmware version?
I'll post mine up later when I get home. That way, we can figure out if O2 have applied any branding to their handsets (if at all).
Thanx.
Posted by Ribbler
No problem.
I'll be fixing my car now until much later. Will have a look this evening and post then.
Posted by Swag
Got mine today. Will come back with details and pictures later today.
