I use a set of bluetooth headphones with mine and I find it is better than the W950.
It seems a bit richer and less tinny on the default EQ setting.

The big news today out of America is that Apple is dropping the price of the Iphone down to $399 for their 8 GB model. Hopefully this means a more competative price point for the w960, rather than the $650-750+ prices people have feared. |

mmm too bad there is no "+ Today" list in standby, i don't really see the point in showing a song title if the Walkman isn't playing. I thought that Today list was awesome to see all your day planning in one glance... Hopefully this will be added later through a FW update |

Guys! I got to try out the W960 today thanks to a classmate who works for SE. I only got to test it for like 30 secs or so. The front screen feels just like the one on the P1, perhaps a bit thicker. Although the touch response was just as good as on the P1. The stylus will probably be similiar to the one shown in the pictures you have seen. The walkman player interface on idle screen seemed cool, dont know anything about the +today menu yet, he didnt know either. The one thing he constantly reminded me of was that the phone he had was a prototype and there will most likely be alot of changes before a final release, like the +today menu. Keeping that in ming its still a kickass phone.
According to my classmate who spoke to one of his associates the W960 will be released around Nov-Dec

I find the touch screen works just as well as the P1, even though you have a hard cover over it.
I'm not a massive fan of the stylus, but hopefully there will be improvements before release. I hardly ever use it anyway.
I don't miss the +Today list, I think it's cool to have access to the walkman player from the main screen. All of the albums that I have on the phone (over 100 so far) have the art included - so that looks good on the main screen.
On the subject of album art, I like the zoom feature in the main walkman player when you tap on the art.
+Today is for business phones, like the P1, in my opinion.

nevertheless, its such a trivial thing to add that it should be IN THERE and be an option.
Please put that through to the development team before you sign off on this thing 
You never told me exactly what you do for SE? |

I agree with matthewf01 that SE definitely should include the +today menu with the W960. And probably everyone who's planning on buying one thinks so too. |

And if they don't, we can always buy a 3rd party app such as Handy Day  |

another quick question : will be W960i support .m4p music files (the file format you get when buying songs off iStore via iTunes)? This file type is usually blocked and only playable on iPods as far as i know, but maybe the W960i is enabled for it?
Anyone ? |

the w950i had the +Today menu/drop down menu on home screen. Maybe it is yet to be added into current protos. time will tell.... i never did use that menu though tbh...

Man ive been following the progress of the phone for ages and i really just want one thing to be made to the phone and that is the screen! It looks bland and it seems the contrast ratio is really low! |
