I like the 3.5mm jack and the 8mp camera, superb. I went to the store to maybe get it but changed my mind when i saw it. It looks like a freakin christmas tree or a tranformer on crack, to many wanna be bling bling silver details and buttons which ara astethicly badly placed and ruins the basic colour of the phone. I'll be getting the E72 or Aino.

    I just want to know how the keypad fairs, most of the SE slide phones are notorious for having very poor quality keypads that start cracking real soon. What about this one?

              The review says, you can change the text-size in the e-mail menu - but can you change the overall textsize for the phone too (like on most nokias) ???

              Thanks KC

                i purchased this phone off ebay last week and had it a day later.. it is a treat to use.. the camera does have no shutter but takes excellent pics.. the keypad is easy to use and the software is fantastic.. only thing wrong is the out dated video recording that was talked about in the review

                            Why are we still comparing phones with an iPod 2G? Have you guys really not bought an iPod since 2002?

                            If this is the reasoning, then kudos to you guys, seriously.

                              The Nokia N86 is INCREDIBLY ugly compared to the W995! The W995 has its looks as a big advantage as well as its strong feature set.

                                    I think we must not completely relay on the review because i made a mistake of buying w910i as its review suggest that it has excellent speaker sound and good camera...........but it proved to be wrong and also in 8mp shoutout this sites review said that samsung innov8 camera was better then c905 but in actual the camera quality of innov8 is no way near the camera quality of c905....i think the camera of w995 would be way better then the one mention in its review!!!!

                                      To whomever confused which phone to choose, just say:

                                      "Hikaru, Idou"

                                      (PS. It's my attempt at pun, like saying at the wedding altar. Hikaru is the code name for W995. Pronounce Idou the English way. There you go)

                                      PSS. I wish I could say that when the 2 phones roll out later this year.... :P
