Id get the Iphone tbh, which phone are likley to get board with first, the W995 thats just a k850/W910 combined with the same old outdated platform with the same media player since the W910 or the iphone which still has the same platform but has an app store which you can never get boared of with apps as cheap as 50p while sony ericsson fun and downlads sell apps for 5

I would rather pay 5 dollars pounds or euros for a quality app then 50p for a flashlight or fart app. And while yes the platform is outdated it is amazing and they Yario/Aino variation is more amazing. I hope it comes to the 995. |

Notice how lightly the word amazing is being used above.
I would rather not pay for any apps and get "friendly" ones  lol. Id get the W995 simply because it can multitask (not just run music player in background but actualy run multiple apps).

The iPhone has become so mainstream that it's lost its novelty. And it's still crappy at that(somewhat of an overstatement). Don't be like the sheep out there and buy one just because you think it's "cool". Oh, and audio and camera quality are definitely betterer on the W995. And it has a kickstand! lol
No, seriously, I found the latter useful on many occasions while I had a W995.

Indeed. I work at my fathers store a lot and when I wash the dishes I have it on the kickstand to stand on the shelf above. It is annoying to place it face up cause its impossible on its side. |

Had to give it back.

I wonder how the guys at Enea manage to put multitasking into a "dumb" phone? |

I do hope that was sarcasm seeing as every SE I owned could do that. |

The one on the newer 705 series seems VERY nice.
I'm considering this device but I need to know the following:
1> Software buttons (left & right) - how solid are these?
2> speakers, just how good are they at full volume? Bass response good? Any comparison to other manufacturers phones?!
3. Just how fast is browsing on WiFi with NetFront 3.5 browser that ships with all SE phones?!
4. GPS; I've read specs stating its aGPS with the GPS chipset. Is there ANY PROGRAM that allows me/you to store map data onto the M2 card and then use that map data with satellite information. I can do this on my N85 so I'm looking to do the same. I don't need turn by turn navigation.
THanks.

1. The buttons are quite solid from what I heard.
2. Best on an SE and possibly the market.
3. It should be fast I think.
4. I think that is possible. |

I wouldn't say multitask as apposed to app switching. Yes you can run music player in the background; but you cannot run MS exchange sync live while playing a gaming app. When you run a J2ME app, and switch to another, that first J2ME app awaits in the background - unless its an email app with a fetch function - but for the most part it doesn't fully multitask. Apps in the background rarely update the data.
Show me two valid apps J2ME or capuchin that run in the background and update data while running another. Unless JSR271 finally gets authored and delivered we'll still need smartphones.

Excellent! Thanks for the fast feedback! Actually I'm using HPM-72 earbuds with my N85 right now ... lol - SE still hasn't left me thus far.
I forgot to ask ... any improvement on the calendar/task/memo app since the K850i and other A2/A1 devices before it? SE really needs to IMPROVE this and SOON if not 2yrs ago!
