    The W950i is a terrible handset. The user interface is terrible slow and extremely non-intuitive. What's the point of having all these features if it takes several seconds to get them up and running?

                    @Jon

                    As far as I know, you can copy mp3 files FROM and TO all Sony Ericsson Walkman Series phones without the need to convert it.

                      @ Steve Ashford.

                      Your the loser here, you bought the phone knowing it had no camera and wi-fi then you moan? Think of it like this, Sony Ericsson Walkman Phones, no k now where in there does it say, Cyber-shot so your not going to expect a decent camera. Wi-Fi in a phone is retared atm no free wirless hotspots in most place, and people use laptops/pcs inside where wi-fi is avalible not a phone with a tiny screen.

                        as far as i know the W950i has not been discontinued. If you wanta Great MP3 playing phone then you could get the W850i if you like it, or wait for Nokia's N95 which could be crap no one knows yet, hyoe is just a load of bollocks you need lots of reviews not hype to determine a phone. AQsk your self a question, how often do i use a camera? Do i need a camera on a phone? If the answer is Yes then buy something else if No then the W950i is a great purchase its 4GB of flash memory and the best sounding phone on the market according to many reviews, then get this. I doubt you will be diapointed with all the other features you probably wont miss the camera!

                            Another disadvantage is that you have to use Sonys propietary software to convert your mp3s as you copy them onto the player. This wastes a lot of time and is the main reason why i wouldnt buy this player. There is no reason for this. Mp3s should work fine without being converted, IMHO.

                                This is just a shocking phone, and I'm shocked at all you losers for buying it. You all want to grow up. Who'd make a phone of this calibre and does not include WiFi. I am shocked and not at all impressed. The keypad is uncomfortable and there should be at least a 2 mega pixel camera on this phone. It's a phone for loser and hypochondriacs with no life.

                                  i agree with Ali, i work in a phone store in denmark, and we get way too many Nokia 6111 nad N70's in for repair compared to Sony ericsson, witch for the most part is joystick malfunctioning, so just be sure to get a S//E without joystick and you're good (:

                                    i work in cpw.. and i have seen both phones.. and tbh out of the nokia n91 and sew95i i would diffinatly go for the sew950i for the following reasons

                                    *its small
                                    *its touch screen (screen not buttons)
                                    *you can write on the screen using a styles
                                    *you can easily make your own playlist's, delete songs, rate the songs, put the songs in a different mood catagory. example, sad, happy, fast, chill.

                                    and tbh it doesnt have a camera which is a good thing for me.


                                    some bad points

                                    *dont like the feel of the keys
                                    *dont like the scroller, its too hard or may b its my phone

                                    and i actualy own the sew950i lol.

                                    as for the nokia.. yes may b its a 4gig phone but that doesnt mean anything... the phone is simply too big you have to carry a bag for it you know.

                                    i work in a repair center and 6/10 phones we get are nokia's such as nokia6111, nokn70,

                                    the se are 1-2 out of ten which most of them are bcz of the joystick or waterdamage



                                    my advice is that if you just want a phone which has mp3 which is quite advanced. and small than go for the sew950i

                                    unless otherwise u wanna hang around with a weapon... for your own safety got for a nokn91.. funny thing is some customer almost asaulted me with a nokia n91 few days ago... bcz we werent repairing his phone (he had a water damage nokia n91 lol)

                                      and why is no memory slot a disadvantage of the phone? it has got 4gb of memory inside...?

                                        if the SE is copycating to nokia, then Nokia copycated to SAMSUNG,.. nokia did to make the N91 complete with features just to make sure they had the latest technology to beat SONY's tech know how,.. but in looks and style, it looses so much o SE... they come up with a future phone(as NokiaFans say) but killed the looks and apperance that more people already avoided it... more and more people prefered walkman handsets than N-91 for simple reasons: style/looks,functions and quality, and the very best of all: simplicity in which N-91 can't even offer to us...they had an 8Gb N-91,.. painted it black but still looks ugly and big and i dont even think it would beat IPOD or walkman's sales nowadays... and this W950 only needs time for proving itself as a music phone pioneer,.. N-91 already wasted it's time but still it's not as best selling as IPOD and WALKMAN...
