Sony Ericsson W595 review: Music on the slide

26 February 2009
We've already welcomed the W595 at the proto stage, but this time it's the real deal - we have a retail unit on our hands and we are ready to put it through its paces. The differences from the preceding model...

              Can all users of this phone confirm once and for all:
              1) Quality of the keys, does it break up, cracks, pops out?
              2) Does it freezes, reboots, stops working?
              3) Any software hardware issues?

              There is always some problem with ALL the phones out there, but has this one got any serious problems that stops you from using iy on a daily basis.
              All sensible comments welcomed!

                          I think GSM arena confused the speakerphone values. They put 75.7 , 75.7 , 83,6 (almost the same as T650).
                          And if you go to the full explanation loudspeaker performance test and you read w595 values, they are different: 80.6, 76.7 and 86.7.

                          Thanks for the review anyways.

                            I think it´s sad that sony ericsson still have not moved away from their proprietary port for music! and they put it in the most horrible places on a phone, I mean on the side of most phones!?!?!?!? Have any of them tried to put a phone on a pocket and to listen to music? Well I have, and it shucks! And the dual phone jack was a cheap solution to that problem. Most headphones aren´t made to be attached to another cable. But i agree with the 2Gb card (although don´t agree with the fact that they have their own one(M2)). Which not only makes me but i´m sure a lot of other people too very unlikely to buy one of their phones

                              I'll keep my W760. This is nice, but has less features.

                                There were many people who after W902 review wanted W595 review. And here it is. I think the point here is that GSMArena listen to their readers.

                                        whats the point of reviewing the 7 year old UI? every single thing is the same..

                                        "calling is great, phone book can store number..?"

                                        wasted what 3 days on that crap?
