I like it and all but damn its not worth it cause I know it will come out more then 500. If not then I will shoot my foot. But hey I love the simplicity of the W995 so why not. Now if Yari had a cam this good then hot damn I wouldn't have bought this.
Costs £20 more than the W995  |

Well I got my W995 today first impressions now:
I ditched my C905 for this phone so far what I think:
Pro's
8GB Memory lot's of music.
Quality of the slider alot better no dodgy keypad falling off yet, plus the slider doesn't seem to damage the buttons.
Smaller..better materials used.
Videos look better for some reason. Either better coding or slightly better screen.
Great sound..add on speaker makes it better.
Software much faster..Wi-fi seems to have a better range.
The apps and games make the phone fun.
Keypad alot more smooth, no creaking just alot better.
Walkman keys make the music function ten times better.
Camera has most of what the C905 had.
It's lot half the weight off the C905..it's a nice size and it's not a brick.
It has a torch light.
Cons:
No xenon flash.
Earphones provided are rubbish.
Camera looked nicer on the C905 at the back but only a minor thing.
Seriously this phone is good. It's what the C905 should have been...the C905 is rubbish build, awful quality slider, faulty ear peace, sluggy software, paint falls off it, keypad falls off. If you can live with a slightly less flash then it's a great phone. I'm going for the Pixon 12 which will be a better camera phone. This as a music phone is ace..not sure how the quality compares to other sliders but I have owned a few..N95/C905 are rubbish. This is up there with the Samsung G600 slide on quality.
Anybody who likes the C905 design and has one should ditch it for this. It's a nice phone. |

Don't get me wrong the W995 is not a big upgrade on the C905 just a better phone. More fun, more reliable, better build..more memory.
For people who like sliders I'd go for this. The Samsung Innov8 is old now as is the N95.
Let's be honest the K700i, K750i, K800i I owned them all and they were great. The K850i/C905 were just awful I remember they promised how the C905 would be better and it never was. From what I hear Walkman phones have always been more reliable. My W995 has been mistaken for a C905 a already though..
But seriously the C905 forget it..it's a heap of over priced junk. W995 is a great phone.. |

Yeah exactly why I said thank you. It might not be an upgrade but damn its overall the better choice. First time they did that for a walkman. |

i'm going to buy it tomorrow please tell me
how is the camera quality comapring c905!!
how's the YouTube video quality??
then can we use the 3.5mm jack for attending calls and use it as handsfree??
pleae answer me as quick as possible.
will i get a comparison shot of c905 and w995??
If you want 3.5 as a handsfree you need this MH700 which currently still unavailable.

.......................
For me bundle headphone is rather good, I mean HPM-77 but would it be excellence if HPM-88 instead. BUT if you had own Shure Sennheiser these bunble just can't compare it out of class.
I still never found any manufacture (other than  ) gives good headphone similar quality like HPM-77

Have you considered turning off all other features such as 3G, Wifi and any other apps that are running in the background? Shutting them off will increase battery life.
My w995 lasts ~3-4 days before recharging and that's only for phone and moderately media player use.
Otherwise, depending on when you bought your phone and whether or not you still have your receipt, you should return your phone to the phone shop for repair or for a replacement.
Good luck!
all is closed but 3G is always on,i do not know how to turn it off.

Goto:
Menu - Settings - Connectivity - Mobile networks - GSM/3G - GSM Only - Save
[FYI... Copy of user's guide is under phone's help menu]
3G is needed if you need to go online. Otherwise, it'll drain your battery.
Texting works for most people unless you do email or online chatting or similar activities often so turn on 3G only when needed!
You should see your battery life improve! Also, don't forget to cycle your battery!
Hope this helps!

Its nice to hear that there's an accessory which supports handsfree on 3.5mm jack and phone too. But it would've been great if they give MH700 along with W995. And i'm bit worried about the camera quality. I'm thinking between W995 and n86 probably i'm buying tomorrow.
What about skin support in media player?
And does have simile shutter, face detection, smart contrast?

just got my new silver one yesterday. stuck at work today and tomorrow so havnent been able to play with it. also got my Phonak Audeo PFE earphones delivered yesterday at same time 
will do some audio quality tests and report back once ive done so. if its anything like the w705 though, should be very good (for a phone). hopefully better than the w705...
the w705 was quite detailed and warm (for a phone). there was a good balance of all the music elements. bass was not muddy/overpowering, and if more bass was needed, just use the EQ and turn clear bass up a notch or 2 and it would be more than plenty for most users! clear bass is a lot better than megabass imho! megabass was just muddy and too overpowering!
