Except some poor movie maker who can't afford a proper camera for his movie.

                        [deleted post]Yes its coming and yet not xenon flash equipped just like Hikaru. I think i'll pick Hikaru and not the N86 anytime.

                          Just look at the furstration of nokia fanboys..just look at it..LOL, They are trying their as* off to prove that even this monster set is not good and nokia is oon going to announce a great set..dream on los*rs, SE has done it, no other set matches the style, functionality and coolness of this phone. Samsung???only good on papers..create crappy sets with lots of features that never work right.
                          Only SE has provided us with something great..and now all nokia fanboys are saying ohhh 12Mp is not necessary, its useless...well STFU los*rs..if it would have been nokia announcing a 12mp phone you would be jumping like monkeys on the trees that Nokia is the best blah blah blah...but its SE..so wake up, nokia is dead, all they can produce are crappy useless and boring sets like N97. Even N86 is pure crap.

                              its a 12MP, that means its video recording can be DVD or HD resolution...i think idou is more focus in multimedia, so if you dont want your original video player, this time they used S60 so just installed a DivX movie player... but all in all
                              cant wait till the full specs shows....

                                hope that video quality will be good and it wont take forever (like x1) to hit the stores

                                  Are they going to improve the video playback of the W995? ( which i hope)

                                  Sony Ericsson also announced that they are planning of hitting the video playback from various angles by not only focusing W995 on video, but by providing unlimited movies downloads via the PlayNow Arena Movies service, which would require a monthly subscription.

                                  Peace
