I have posted elsewhere that the connector on the HMP-82 is better than on the HMP-70 and does make a difference in sound quality (e.g. bass clarity), the best sound quality is via DS970, but obviously these are limited for bass reproduction. Will answer other questions later |

Okay rest of the answers
1. There is only one volume control
2. Just as loud as the K800
With "Smile" by Lilly Allen I can't go over 80% volume as its just too loud (encoded with DBPowerAmp in MP3 at 192kbps)

Just ordered mine from Orange. I was going to leave and go to Voda but they offered me £25 pm for 500xnet, 500 texts, 12 month contract and handset free of charge. That's a much better deal than I've seen elsewhere.
Can't wait for Monday - it's going to be such a productive day in the office

I like the look of this phone,
is it easy to put music onto it cos without the memory card which is easier is it easy to place traxx onto it? 
is texting messages easy aswell?
how much are these to upgrade on o2 anyone know?

1. On O2 on a UKP30 line rental the W950 was UKP99
2. The file transfer via USB is very quick, much quicker than the K800
3. SMS - er....I use my M600 or P990 for everything else so can't comment on this
But, this is really very attractive and well made phone. The user interface is very quick and the OS is stable. If you're happy to use the stylus and wheel a lot then this device will be okay for you |

Thanks for that, very strange though if you go to the SE site and the learn about section then choose Synchronization you get to two boxes as to what can be synced and what can't and e-mail refuses to go into the can be synced box. Maybe someone should let SE know?

Just got a W950i yesterday and transfered all my contacts, pics and ringtones from my K800. My phone is unlocked and unbranded and I will be using it on both 3 and o2 (UK). I have downloaded the MMS and web settings for both networks from the SE site. How do I switch accounts or set the default account for each sim - in other words when my 3 sim is in use, how do I selected the internet / MMS profile to use for that sim?

thanks for that i'll look into it...
ive got 3 phones to choose from by xmas Samsung D900, K800i or the W950i personally I like the souind of the W950i cos it has all the memory for music and it's also a P910i comeback having the stylus 
I see in the pictures that it comes with a protective case, does it proctect the phone well or?
im hoping o2 wont be so mean with me with the price upgrading to it..
fingers crossed I can get it for £150 with luck

the case is really for the headset not the W950. Any chance you can get someone to get you a pair of SE's DS970? They sound outstanding with the W950. Also the SE headphones are okay but you should consider better quality headphones like the Sennhieser PX-100. By the way the FM radio is even better than on the P990 - it has a utility to get information on a track that you've heard.

Between the P990i and W950i
Which is an overall preference???
If an overall user would you say the P990i is the better choice as its a solid all rounder???
Anyone who has used both... Please comment as im considering the w950i... but I dont listen to RADIO.... I listen to sum music... not a lot.... I mix n match between features.... But I use a lot wifi while at home or where access is available...
I own the P990i.... May consider selling it to get the W950i... but not sure.
@Jah
Your help would be appreciated
Cheers

the W950 is:
- very sexy
- the Walkman s/w is very nice
- music reproduction is superb
- FM radio has very good sensitivity and sounds great
But if you ignore the packaging from a functional point of view the P990 is similar. The sound quality differences are important for me but most people the P990 is perfectly adequate. I would always use the W950 with my P990 not instead of. And finally remember a 4GB Duo card for the P990 is much cheaper than a SIM free W950!

I use as main phone the K800i for most things and for my other line the P990i at the present.... I do like to WLAN feature... but doubt I would use it 4eva as I have a laptop too....
Im gonna go look at the w950i @ CPW... I have tried out the M600i didnt really like it due to the keypad.... it wasnt for me.
So im stuck... Cant decide... I wouldnt wanna use a P990i and a W950i... I would also like to get the HBH-DS970

Hi Jah,
This looks like the leisure phone for me, I have a very large MP3 collection so it will handle most of my favourites when I am out and about, can you tell me is this like an Ipod e.g you can only play tunes downloaded from a specific source? Or can you just load any MP3 to it?
Is it much slimmer and lighter than the P990?
Does it support push email?
is its performance better than the P990?
What is the going price for this device?
Many Thanks
Nitro |
