Sony Ericsson's w995 review
At last, sony ericsson has came out with their 1st w- series (walkman) phone that promise to give its users the ultimate entertainment! B4 i start my review, lets c some of this phone's pros and cons.
Pros:
8.1 mp cam music phone
Wifi, 3.5G
Nice-to-use keypad
New-Featured Kickstand
Good Audio Quality
Lots of pre-loaded applications
Motion-sensored games enabled
Built-in accerolometer
2.6 inch large screen (320 x 240)
New Media Go software
New Walkman 4.0
Cons:
Still in QVGA size screen resolution
The battery should be more 'powered'
No smile detection
Not a smartphone (means that u can't install other software other than java)
So, lets start with this phone's looking. This S.E high-end phone is a nice slider and has a dual-speaker ( upper and lower part of this device). For the 2nd time, this phone is equiped with a 3.5mm earphone jack by S.E, that replace Fast-port that is not so convenient. If can go to gsmarena.com, u can see more of this phone picture. A new exciting feature of this phone is this phone has a kickstand @ it's back, that is quite a nice treatment for S.E fans. This kickstand has been seen on Nokia's N96 b4, and it seems to b quite useful as u can use it to support ur phone whenever u r watching videos. The nice 2.6 inch large screen also is a good improvement for S.E as there're only a few of S.e phone that come with that size of screen. But the resolution is still At QVGA (240 x 320) which is a dissapointment as many stuff outside had already use resolution more than WQVGA ( 240 x 400).
a) In- box package
As this phone is a high-end phone, it is sure that S.E will definatelygive more goodies to it's users. W995 support up to 8gb memory card and S.E has provided their users with ya, 8gb memory card that means u don't have to spend more $ after puchasing this phone to buy a larger M2 card. it's retail package also come by with a 930 mAh battery, that i personally think should be more as this phone is a high-end entertainment phone and this battery is definately not enough for those who wanna lots of fun without charging it.
b) Cybershot and Walkman , Media Go software
As a high-end phone, this phone come with the new Walkman 4.0 and a nice 8.1 megapixel, that is a worth to mention about. The 8.1 mp cam a great spec that make this phone ' entertainment unlimited. It has features that u can find in a Cyber-shot phone such as face detection, flash, Bestpic, Macro mode, 16x zoom, A-GPS, Shake-reduction, flash and it can defeat many of cybershot phone. But, the sad thing is, it don't had the famous smile detection, that is quite and dissapointment. But bear in mind that this phone is a Walkman phone !
And for the walkman stuff, this phone came out with the new walkman 4.0, which is a improvement of the walkman 3.0. As usual, it has SenseMe, shake control, Clear Audio Experience that includes clear bass and clear stereo, Track ID, dual speakers and wat's more, a nice earphone!! And with these, u can expect u can have a great time with ur music!
Besides that, the new Media Go software, that is a sofware 4 u to costumize ur music, converting ur videos and downloading ur free podcast, which is a great software. (u can get more info from gsmarena.com). In addition, this phone also preloaded with Youtube apps, which allow u to watch videos anytime,anywhere. But the sad point is, it is not compatible with Wifi, that means u need to pay for a nice video-watching time.
c) Apps and Software and Games
As this phone is not a smartphone, it has limited software. But, as a high-end phone, this phone was loaded with a lot of games, useful apps and software. For games, it has motion-sensor, that means u can play games like u play games on Wii. There games like bowling ( which is quite nice for a motion-sensor playing), Nitro street racing (motion sensored), real football 2008, Guitar rocks tour and many more! Of course, u can download more games if u like.
As for apps, this phone came by with apps like 'comek strips', Walkmate, Musicmate , music DJ, Video DJ and more! There're a nice apps--Comek Strips that i found interesting. U can create comics by the picture u took, and share it with ur friend via MMS!
This phone also come with software such as Google Maps. If u find it not enough, u can also find more software like wayfinder navigator and Tracker for those who love sport. This phone also support GPS and that means u'll not miss the place u wanna go. For more stuffs, u can visit S.E official website.
Last Words
This phone is a great phone, but u can expect its price to be very high-end when it is out ( i think that it'll be more than rm1800), but nothing to scare about, cause it is not a smartphone and S.E's phones always drop their price faster than others, so u can expect a drop of 200-400 2 or 3 months after it is released!
As for my opinion, this phone is a very great phone if u don't quite care wherethere it is a smartphone or not. the only great dissapointment is it's screen. At least, the screen should be larger in inchs and better in resolution, haha.
Last but not least, pls leave some comments after u visit my blog so i'll know u were here b4, THANKS!!
