being in Asia, the one you buy should be from one of the latest production batches. build should be good. people exaggerate the wobbly slider, it BARELY moves.

I may get one for my sister but I am also worried about the slider... I have also used candybar phones all the time so i am worried about the flat cable inside the phone. I have seen so many slider phones suffering the same fate - flat cable... Let's hope that the w995 is not one of the phones with weak slider construction.

Anybody know if these phones unbranded and unlocked?

Well, the price of the W995 is still expensive here ($400). I don't think is going to get chiper in this moment

Oddly only a few days after my posts in the first page of this thread, the W995's price has dropped quite considerably in New Zealand.
Where it used to be $999 (expensive), it is now $599 which is a very very good deal. To give you an idea of how good a deal, on Vodafone the W595 retails for the same price. What would you choose?

Price remains the same - anyone bought one yet? Still wanting to know if they are branded handsets!

I've read various reports on another forum - not centralized to just SE products - that the W995a (NAM model) has had wobbly slider after just 30days of use. Now take note that SE phones normally don't have such wobbly slider issues, but I don't know first had. I too am worried and that's why I chose not to get one back in July-Sept.
This W995a is a well loved phone amongst SE fans so a price drop not only helps clear out stock for but it keeps the image of a quality handset offering great value for SE customers and most likely they'll continue their patronage in mind when they upgrade.
I STILL want the W995a just not as badly as before ... I may get one this christmas as a backup phone for sporting night life or travelling (camera alone at clubs will do it justice). WHY is it still only qvga recording? After a bump in 3MP higher than the K850i we're still stuck at qvga video recording?

I am considering rejoining SE for a short while having used my last P1 in early 2008. I have gone through two N82s and now I own an LG Arena.
I want to try the W995 (though strong comeptition from N86 at same $399.99 price) and then possibly the X10. So my question is...has Sony Ericsson incorporated any type of inbuilt security? I have a cheapo Samsung on another network and even it has security where I can lock:
1) Phonebook
2) Call log
3) Photos
etc.
Has SE made any improvement in this area? I have always longed for this on a Sony Ericsson phone, since my days of T310/K700.

I had the W995 for 4 months and the slider was perfect till towards the end. It started to wobble a bit because of a hard drop. |
