Ahh, just finished my W960 review and in time for Christmas, too! Again, the review is far too large to be posted here, so I'll post the first lines and a link. Hope it's ok.



Sony Ericsson W960 is Sony Ericsson’s top notch music offering featuring a massive 8 gigabyte flash memory, Walkman 3.0 Touch player, QVGA resolution touch screen, WLAN & Symbian OS with UIQ 3.0. Don’t start shaking in your pants because you just saw UIQ 3.0 being used in the phone - it’s running absolutely flawless on W960 due to the 128 megabytes of RAM memory. Multitasking is superb and it’s nearly impossible to dry out this baby!


Advantages

* 3G connection & WLAN
* Bluetooth 2.0 (with A2DP support)
* Large 2.6 inch QVGA resolution touch screen
* UIQ 3.0 - enhanced compared to earlier products
* Walkman 3.0 Touch player - best music player on a phone EVER
* 8 gigabytes of internal memory
* Nice design, size and weight
* Bundled accessories

Disadvantages

* No EDGE and HSDPA
* Booting the device is a bit slow
* No memory card slot
* Somewhat strange T9 word input - many normal words missing, too


Read the rest here


Forgot to say, that I will of course also be answering all questions about the phone and if I've missed something or something's not correct, please let me know



Merry Christmas everybody!

Thanks!


Am surprised that nobody has spotted my awful mistake! I've written that it has BT 2.0 + EDR, which it doesn't

Well, the review is about 4.7K words long and includes an extreme amount of links, formatting and pictures. It's split up in several pages at the blog and would be even bigger as a whole thing here. Plus, it would be an extreme amount of work porting it here.

"The phone comes with 256 Mb of flash memory with 128 Mb being user-manageable" copypaste from mobile-review.

video is 15 fps, think camera is little bit worse than K810

Sorry about the late reply, didn't see your post.

It records videos at 15 frames per second and the phone memory is 160 MB free out of the 256 MB flash memory (the OS takes the rest). There is an application for this that can also run in the background - it's called QFlash and works perfectly. It's a bit worse than K810's camera.
