    Info new phone needed - W950 V N95? your opinions

    Any W950i users out there?

    Looking for a new phone/MP3 player combo, currently have a W810i and its a bit buggy when in music mode, heard the new SE phones are getting better.. played around the last couple of weeks with some new MP3 players on the market (namely the clix 2 and the iaudio7 ) and its to many gadgets to carry around with me .

    So, W950i users? any problems with it? is it drag and drop in UMS mode?

    I know the N95 has awful battery life and i will not be using it for t'internet or GPS so it kinda rules itself out of my list..

    Basically i want to know if W950i is worth the purchase (with the W960i and the iphone and the HTC touch etc etc all round the corner) i dont know anybody with this paticular phone..

    Cheers all

    they can be bought for under £150 sim free, so not really pricey..

    to be honest i cant remember the last time i used my cam on my fone at the mo... so cam no really important to me.

    the W960i is the same as 950 but with cam a few more goodies thrown in, buti think that puppy is gonna be pricey.. at the mo i leaning towards the 950.. seems no fecker own em though.. which in itself is worrying :/#

    yep w950i costs a fortune Se are taking massive losses on all these handsets and you will find a bucket load on ebay unwanted upgrades etc. Stay well away mate or buy one then post again in 6 months time , I can count on 2 hands the number of w950i we have sold this year, bearing in mind I buy 3-4 k handsets a day that puts in perspective
    Seriously go for the w880i or w580i

    Man, i really like the of the W950i on Utube and review sites but i may just stop looking and use my buggy W810i with my 2Gb stick for a few more months,

    Really after a phone/Mp3 player with on board mem, thats why it appealed.. I bow to your superior experience on the phones.

    W580i is a slide phone, dont really get on with them and se seem to make em 'plasticky', i was gonna go for the 880i but its probably about the same as my w810.. Wanted to move away from memory cards..

    Iphone looks good... maybe not as a phone mind you.
    N95 is nasty in my opinion.
    W960i may be worth a look

    Cheers mate!

    I have a w950i, got it as an upgrade in january this year and i can honestly say i have been very impressed with it. there is only a few occasions that i thought i wish i had a camera but the other features more than make up for that.
    texting with the touch screen is easy as pie, so is surfing the net, can even access df to a degree. the walkman is a great feature as well, i have it mounted in the car and play it through the car stereo, navigating the music is a breeze using the touch screen and there are 4 mood settings so you can put all your favourites in a playlist and put it in random, then you can just pres an icon to play a sub set in the playlist.
    tom tom also works a treat.
    can't praise the phone enough, battery life is also pretty good.
    the only reason i would change it is for the w960i, wich should be out by the time my next upgrade is due.
    any more questions?

    Oooo great, an owner!

    Is the phone slow to respond to input commands? i.e looking up contacts, opening apps or just using the walkman? seen a few comments stating it lacks processor power.

    Is the phone a UMS device? or do you have to sync it with some kind of SE software?

    can u use your finger to navigate ? or is it so precise you have to use the stylus?

    I will be driving and listening 99% of time so finger control is better.

    see loads of complaints about not having a cam but i can't honestly remember when i last used my cam on my phone.

    Seem to be cheap on
    ebay
    which was a little strange, but as mobileman stated no body wants em.. i would love to have a play with one for a couple of days.. :/
