I must have been sleeping for a long time that I failed to notice that Sony Ericsson’s W series phone is already in the 960i. It wasn’t too long ago when SE introduced its first unit in the family of W model phones, the W800. Whether you call it the Walkman phone, music phone or simply the SE W960i, this latest SE W baby should be in everyone’s Christmas gadget wishlist.
The SE W990i wallops a barrage of nifty features which every one of us could possibly think of. It’s classically beautiful and overloaded with mobile phone goodness, enough to make you forget the iPhone. There are many reasons why the SE W960i is a cut about the rest of the mobile phones available in the market. Highlighting the following major three features are enough for you to buy the SE W960i:
- 8GB of phone memory - with that amount of storage space, who needs an external memory card/stick?
- Walkman touch player - makes music management on your W990i as easy selecting songs using your fingers
- TV quality video display - the end of pixilated and blurry mobile video browsing, the W960i display video files on its bright screen the same quality when the videos are display on a TV screen.
So, what’s the lowdown? It’s a Sony Ericsson phone, the phone has to have a some kinks and flaws. Well, aside from the fact that the touch screen feature can be used only for managing music files and not for the major functions of the phone, the SE W990i is almost as close as to what you can get from a perfect high-end music phone model. It would have been a perfect iPhone alternative if not for the limitation in the touch screen implementation.
Nonetheless, it’s still worthy to mention some of other features of the SE W960i such as a decent 3.2 megapixel camera, music playback support mp3 and AACC music formats, Wi-Fi connectivity, fast loading web browser, built-in RSS readers, and other standard mobile phone features. Its LCD screen boost of 262,144 color with a max resolution of 240 x 320 pixel. And there’s a slew of SE mobile phone accessories that you can use with the W690i.
The SE W960i is a must have mobile phone for both Sony Ericsson fans and non-followers as well.
I was reading a couple of website; and thought that w960i will not have wifi. That would defeat the Opera web browser purpose, but still many website indicates that there’s no wifi on the w960i
