The phone is out now, not 15th January (i wish o2 would update their site!)
Seen in a Carphone Warehouse and fondled by me....
its a gorgeous screen , video is 30 f/ps
the pouch is a Great addition, but the screen is massive compared to my k800i
i didn't find the menu laggy at all. its quite response (as are most sony phones)
the sound is quite loud as well on the phones external speaker

No o2 branding but o2 active is default website, £99 upgrade with online 100 tariff (£25 per month) but I've had to phone them for a 3g sim card in order to use the 3g functionality, and the keypad is OK but not great as it feels a little indefinite to me.
I'll try and set up the voice dialling for most things, which should help.
Unbelievable functionality overall. I wasn't expecting the video facilities etc.

According to the desctruction leaflet, the pouch is for the handfree set, not the phone. I have used it for the phone anyway, but there is one fairly major problem with that. The pouch is well padded and either serves to muffle the sound of your ringtone or dampen the vibrate alert if it is your pocket. It's not great if you're walking along a busy road, for example.
Another minor annoyance is the silent appointment alarm vibrates on and on for ages. It started going off on the way into work this moring, notifying me of an upcoming meeting, which I knew about and which I didn't really need reminding about, but it kept going for ages. |

CPW don't do o2's own tariffs, which IMO offer better value.
I'm going to see what deals Orange has as I'm out of contract I did want to get it on Voda, but I have no idea when they'll be releasing it - and everytime I ask them, I appear to get a different answer. |

I spoke to Orange customer retentions who said it's only been released for new customers at the moment, and it will take another couple of weeks for it to be tested further before it's released on upgrades! They obviously value older customers more then  |

I've had this thing since Friday now and the one thing that's puzzling me is the strange battery life.
It seems that if you have the walkman software running, even if you're not actually playing a track, it drains the battery. Fast. There's clearly a lot of power buzzing between the memories somewhere.
Not likely to last a long weekend without a charge, IMO. |

Has anyone found Blackberry Connect software for the W950i ? |

HI There
Disturbing about the battery ...
this phone is supposed to be the best phone on the market on accounts of its battery life being so good! |

I think the battery life is supposed to be excellent when the phone functions are off.
It could just be that the power meter is innaccurate - it wouldn't be the first time. The same thing happened with my K750 though. If I left it on the media player, even if it wasn't playing, the power used to drain heavily. |

Just acquired a W950 from O2. Its great, very little branding and if you switch off Transitions its very quick. Memory leaks seem less of an issue. Will back-up, Master Reset, restore to see if performance gets even better and will try an SEUS upgrade as well. For business use I would recommend the M600 over the W950.
