Hi, here are some pictures taken today.
Build quality is great, metal feeling is superb. Battery cover is metalic.
Inside the box:
Headphones HPM 77
Battery : BST 38 930Ah (quite small, W705 has 1000 mAh)
Charger & cable
8Gb M2 card
The screen is so good, at first it's kind o weird seeing the big menu icons...
Audio quality from the speakers is the best i've heard with other SE phones I had.
The stupid thing about the earphones is they are so short, you cannot use them with the jack, unless your ears are in your pocket !!
Took some pictures & videos with W995, I found quality to be fair. Size is 2.3 mb each for 8MB rez photo

Only thing that turns me off is that its a bit well simple. The W760 had a great box I mean sure a bit big but damn sexy. I hate the purple too. Otherwise excellent phone but it doesn't look like I am missing out on a lot. Yet. |

I will try this weekend
What's annoying with my W995 is that the conversation style for text messages is not present...
On my W705 I had to flash it with the latest firmware to get the conversation thingy...

Looks sweet!
Can the new W995 check if the texting is a little more troublesome that what it used to be? According to the simulator, clicking on "CON'T" to send the sms brings up a list that now has EMAIL ADDRESS listed first. Is this correct?
Thanks!! |

There was a way to enable the SMS chatting style in G705 using A2 Uploader...

Question: how does the keypad feel? Early reviews of prototypes always complained about lack of tactile feedback from the keypad, do you feel this problem has been addressed? |

It feels good. Havent tested prototypes to compare, buttons are a little flat but tactile feedback is still good.

I dont have it on my w995, it's the normal sms writing area and options after continue are the classic ones.

Breaking: Engadget Mobile just posted that the release date for the W995a will be on July 6 for about $600.
Finally, I can stop searching the internet every day for availability... |
