At last, Sony Ericsson joins its Walkman and Cyber-shot best features into one feature-packed phone. Sony Ericsson has done this before with its SE W902 and now Sony Ericsson did it again with SE W995 slider phone. SE W995 manages to fulfil nearly all the requirements of a high-end user as you will find out. The front face of the SE W995 is mostly dominated by a 2.6 inch screen and a few handy buttons. These buttons allow you to navigate most of the functions of the phone without having to use the keypad.

Sony Ericsson W995 phone is very user-friendly as it has a lot of shortcuts for applications. Plus, you can even configure your own shortcuts so you don’t have to enter the main menu to drill down to your applications. Dialling contacts through the address book or keying in numbers is easy. And when you dial a number, the phone will look up names in your address book that have the corresponding number. You can then select a name instead of dialling the whole number. Sony Ericsson W995 supports SMS, MMS and e-mail messaging. You can view SMS and MMS messages as a list or conversations. The phone can handle e-mail attachments but there isn’t a document viewer on the phone, so you can’t view Word, Excel or PDF files.

The quality of the photos are as good as those of a 8-megapixel camera though there is a bit more noise in low-light conditions. An LED flash provides adequate lighting. I love the Sony Ericsson W995 — it looks stylish, is easy to use, the screen is lovely and it has good speakers. Plus, the camera could even replace a basic point-and-shoot camera. All in all, the Sony Ericsson W995 performed well and I felt a little pang when I had to part with it. That’s when you know it’s a good product.

Mobile phone giant Sony Ericsson has incidentally confirmed the existence of its oft rumored SE W999i slider phone. The new Walkman phone was leaked last month, and as Cellular stated, finally Sony Ericsson has incidentally confirmed the existence of its oft rumored W999i mobile phone.
