so this one or the iPhone 3gs
lets have a side by side comparrison 
w995 | 3gs
-------------------------------
+ 1 year contract | ++ apps / app store
+ safe choice | + higher coolness factor/ something new
+ best SE yet | + multitouch
+ FM radio | + better video solution
+ physical keys | + games
+ better sound? | + contract (150 min + 150sms + 3mbit HSDPA + hotspots for 35€)
+ smaller | - 2year contract
+ legal tethering | - not as 'open' as android, which SE will release soon. right?
+ battery life
The main thing is that i traded in 2 other brands before (a MDA vario, and a N82) for a SonyEricsson. I am so used to this kind of user expierence, and ironed out user menu. But because of this choice i have SE for about 7 years now, and it is pretty much always the same, and it is becoming pretty boring.
The iphone is pretty sweet, nice apps, gaming etc.... but i am a bit scared that i must trade it in also, because it wont give me a smooth experience. Like the iphone hasnt got any form of multitasking, which i use sometimes on my SE.... Especially when SE is doing so great with the new w995 (it even has a 3.5 mm jack!)
And the other thing is that it is rumoured that SE will release a android phone, which is pretty much the same as iphone os, but without the weird restrictions like no skype over the air, only trough wifi, and no competing apps for the build in functions (opera browser). This andoid SE (or even the cool symbian Satio) will be i able to get a lot faster if i chose the w995 with a 1 year contract. (you could only get the iphone with a 2 years contract here in the Netherlands)
what is your opinion? am i just that much of an SE fanboy, that wont find another smooth user experience? or do you want to pleasure me with some iphone bashing?

Well i have both the W995 and the Iphone 3G.
To me, the phone i uses is the W995, it have a great cam, it does everything well, it doesn't have the wow thing the Iphone might have, but for everyday use, i think it will suit you just fine imo.
But why don't you test out both devices, find out which one for you, and go for it.
Iphone gives a great web experience, so if that is a feature oyu use alot, it might be something to consider, if not, then W995 is the best SEMC device yet.
Exciting, maybe not, but it will do pretty much all, and do it well, and fast.

Anyone got a nice case for theirs yet? I've ordered a silicone one from someone off ebay, which hasn't arrived yet, but see there are now leather ones with bits cut out.
I changed my mind about the silver w995 and now have black. When I took the battery cover off the silver I could see where the silver spray paint ended and was concerned it could come off in time. Black looks really nice with the free mini theme. |

The bit I was concerned with is either side of the battery cover and around the navigation keys at the front, which is plastic. I thought it would be all brushed metal, but it isn't. It didn't look like it would come off, but for the money I wasn't taking any chances! With the black model the plastic around the keys and on the back may be coated too, but as the inside of the battery cover is also black plastic it would be less noticeable in the unlikely event it did come off.
I've just got my cheapo silicone case now, but it isn't good enough for my lovely phone so will get the leather one!

I got this phone a few weeks ago, it's freakin awesome. Then again my phone before this was the w200i so the upgrade was HUGE. Plenty of games and fun applications to fool around with when you're bored. It even has a guitar tuner (which actually works). Still trying to find a nice clear (and louder) pair of headphones though. The pair that I already have are too soft and the pair that came with the w995 are uncomfortable for my ears likings. Anybody recommend a good pair of headphones?
I have headphones that i really recommend ... bit big but you do not feel them on your head and have a great sound

I have found the solutions since I bought the C905...I bought an Ipod Touch 2G
I will buy a W995 in July and keep the Ipod Touch aside,it will be perfect

I love I-phone bashing! Now then. It is the best SE. Yet. Physical keys are a must for me so yep that is a plus. Hell yes. Best sound yet on an SE when it comes to speakers. It is smaller then a C905 and it has a bigger screen. Smart move. Oh the battery life that is a good one.
Meh not to joyous bout apps. Its not a high coolness factor more then douche factor. I know a lot of people own one but for what, apple and lulz i-pod phone? And its nothing newer then what will come in the coming months. Again its just the apple logo that makes people go wow its so awesome. iLulz. Meh multitouch is only there due to the lack of buttons so that is a negative for me. Hell no at lest I don't think its a better video solution. Gaming without buttons? Ha that will never become great. An SE android would come soon I bet. |
