when you think about it, this is actually an excellent multimedia handset if you can do without the camera, and don't want to use it to play games (painfull without a dedicated joystick)
If all you want is a 4GB multimedia device with internet access, quality screen and touchscreen interface, it's a perfect machine. While the ipod photo has more space for storage, it doesn't have a high res touch screen or internet access (or a phone for that matter).

I don't know if this has been posted before, but on the SE site, the W950 specs list that it has a navigation key and selection keys (softkeys), but clearly they are not visible on the phone. Do you think that is just a mistake on the site, or is there something I'm missing? |

i think SE's taking a new direction or they are just leaving the cam fones for a while and wants us to see the world without cam fones

Actually I DONT want SE to make the mistake of killling this phones potential by making one with a camera. This allows the snowboarder, skater, hiphop dancer, business entrepreneur or even light lower echlon business user that loves to listen to music as a motivator the chance to get their email & music.
Remember if SE delays the W950i upscale with a camera by 9months or with just 2GB memory BOTH will be enough for SE to be a NOkia and shoot itself in the foot ... because MANY of us the core buyer base will wait for it.
I still would love to see the K750i's successor ... pure camera ability with expandable memory via MSDuoPro; not the Micro please unless massive efforts of larger memory & speed QUICKLY!
Guess nobody noticed my post regarding the SOFT-TOUCH BUTTONS (not the touch screen, duh)??!!! Pop this in your pocket & keep the screen saver on .... HUGE limitation of dust getting in the keys ... no need for a case!!! But cant wait for the soft suede or velvet cases for this beaut!!!
For me its growing on my but I dont do email as often as some ..... BUT the P990i looks more beautiful to me now that EVER before. But I'll take the M600's & W950's stylus just to be fashionable lol.
Great Job SE!!! |

It's very appealing. It's not for me personally (as an all in one convergence device), but if I could afford to buy one just as a toy to play with I would do so 
It is VERY smick. The play rew buttons etc, very subtle. The touchscreen, memory capacity that means no need to swap cards, size and shape (iPod like form factor), umts, screen resolution and colour depth, uiq3. All very nice. I do want one, but could not use a non-camera phone as my day to day handset. I would also miss a functional joystick (or even d-pad) for playing java games.

I would defeat the purpose if it had a cam cause then it would be competing with the W900 and P990
I like it the way it is

I dont see how this would be comepeting with the P990?...this is a walkman branded hard drive based music phone....would' nt make much of a difference if it has a camera....if anything it will sell better!

I was considering just UIQ devices and camera devices as the only uiq device with a good camera is P990 and the Walkman phone has a decent memory hence that compression
but SE has listened to the people so lets wait and see what happens

on the specs that i've seen of it, it normally mentions that it has softkeys and a touch screen, but it also says that it has embedded java games and you can download them. i'd love to see aero mission 3d on that screen lol  theres a picture on the other m600 thread which shows off what looks like a golf game, full screen, and you control it with the pen, so maybe it will work.
