W995 is still king of Walkman, Aino may be better but I don't see any W logo on it.

@spiid: I thought so, however i would like to know if it is normal, can you hear something when you take a picture?

Also, what about the 1 cm movement of the slider when closed?

So, in your case it does not move up and down about 1 cm when touched in the top right corner or in the lower left corner?


Also, my build date is: 37W09, that is about the second week of September...

I find the build quality good, i just was wondering, since ive never owned a slider before, and ive heard they get problems sometimes... But i guess a little movement is normal...

Im only a little worried about the click sound in the camera module, because if its not normal, then it could result in damage to the module in the future, however, if some members confirm they can hear it, i will simply ignore it

The thing is, we only get 7 days to return the handset for a replacement, after that, they just repair the one with problems... but i cannot go there and ask for another handset if i dont know it is indeed faulty...

2.- The camera makes a sound, like a click, after taking the picture, while saving... it seems to come from the camera module itself... to listen to it, take a picture while holding the phone close to your face/ear...


This is quite normal. In fact - Just about every phone does this coming from the K790/800, K850, W810i (but not the K750/W800). Its to help the lens focus (AF) when taking a picture, and it seats itself back (I guess to protect from shock when dropped) into a rest position. If you owned any of the above phones & haven't noticed this until now, then you where just simply busy with phone. (for me it was easier because all those phones I've had, had the ability for silent mode when taking a picture - no audible noise from speakers).

Sorry, dude. IF the AINO was pulled from 2 providers for issues and admitted by that is NOT a King that should get any praise. Also its not .

Nice!, i thought it was normal during the focusing process, but it makes sense that it seats back to a safe position later... now i know why it sounds just after taking the picture... its somewhat strange, my C702 doesnt seem to do this sound, hence my worrying....

Well, It is really bad in some aspects where it shouldnt... camera is below average (for a Cybershot branded handset), its near useless in low light conditions despite its LED flash (too much noise in pictures). And since the camera was the main reason i bought it, it did not lived up to my expectations... If fact, W595/W705/T700's camera outperforms it in color reproduction and noise control almost everytime (save macro shots)... Software is slow, even with current firmware (R3EAXXX i think)...

Its like ive read in the W995 picture thread, the C702 (and C510 for that matter) doesnt deserve to be called a Cybershot...

That pretty much describes it...

Sorry for the offtopic...

O/T: My W995 makes me happy

@Lightspeed_x
I think you should replace it. There should be a clicking sound while focusing/release focus without shooting, but not after a shot/ when saving. And secondly, only with considerable pressure does my slider move ~1-2mm (I'm sure you don't mean cm right? Change it for sure if it moves by the cm) to the side at the top left with slider closed, but as I said, considerable pressure otherwise it shouldn't wobble/move as it really is solid. Seriously this is one crazy solid phone mate, don't settle for anything less

I have some questions that I hope you can help me out with. I'm on the fence of purchasing either the W705a/W995a (the price is a factor but only based on core functionality). This phone will not be for me only my daughter (But I'll keep it if she doesn't like it).

* Calendar on A2 [DB3210 specifically].
- Has this improved since the K850i? Layout, more information displayed, Notes having alarms and displayed in the Calendar? Can I attach notes to the Calendar? Can I get an hourly count (not the bars) of the total time of an appointment?

* Browser.
- Can it surf over WLAN without the GSM/GPRS/EDGE/WCDMA radio being on (ie Flight mode)? Can it surf even if radio is on and no connection? Is the WLAN connection available to the J2ME applications, any restrictions?

* M2 card.
- Can apps be downloaded and saved (via 3G,WLAN or USB/WLAN) to the M2 card and installed later using built-in File Browser?

* Screenshots.
- How on Earth are you guys able to take screenshots?!? I never knew this could be done on SE phones, is this a built-in function now?

* Keypad.
- Is this Numeric keypad as clicky and noisy as all other phones? I recall the K750 and the K850i as being fairly quite. I ask because the kids here are not supposed to have phones in class and if its an emergency or situation where she needs to message me or her mom (for a call to office to allow to be excused) then a quick sms can be done quitely.

Personal question (yes because I'm feeling the nastalgia of )
* Conversation/Threaded SMS - can this be disabled in all phones released since January 2009? I HATE conversation/Threaded SMS.

Browser - It can use Wi-Fi when no data connection is configured (never tried in flight mode).
Keypad is not as clicky as K750.
Conversations - The old menu item 'Messages' is still there if you want the old view instead of conversations.
