Hi SE!
I have this phone for about 4 months now. I'm having some issues with it.
1. It doesn't have a PC suite. I can't sync it to my PC. It has a USB driver which says it could allow me to use this phone as a modem, however, it is not possible without the PC Suite.
2. I have Windows 7 Ultimate 64 bit, the USB driver doesn't work that fine. Sometimes, when I switch my phone to Mass Storage mode, it will show. After several hours of using it, when I swith back to Mass Storage mode from Phone mode, it won't view my cards. I've fixed when I reintalled the driver again using a different compatibility mode.
3. It's kinda slow for some reasons. Slow in terms of USB transfer. It's only 400Kbps. I can't remember whether it was faster with my XP before.
4. It doesn't have any automatic setting for my email account. It could have been better if I could use the email feature without having to manually configure it. I'm using Google though.
5. It doesn't have a theme creator.
6. It does not support MP4. 3gp is not that good. Too much compression, bad quality. 2mp, could have been okay for video recording if it doesn't get pixelated.
I bought this phone for its feature. In spite of some of its issues, I still recommend this for youths, or those who loves music. The phone's sound quality is good. For computer savvy like me, especially those who want to take the best out of their phone, try another one. Something which you can tweak more. When it comes to java gaming, this phone is good. It has lite 3d capability.
SE, please provide some updates to this phone. It's kinda lacking something that could have been in it.
I hope my review benefit us all W395 users. SE might re this, hopefully.
Thank you for reading my review!

mohit, 05 Feb 2010Is this mobile durable... its slider will not give me prob... moreDun worry Mohit, the sliding mechanism is perfect as I've mentioned earlier. Sony Ericsson have great experience manufacturing slide phones. To be truthful, Sony Ericsson had problem with slide function with their very 1st slide model, W850/W830, but later they managed 2 improvise themselves & their products are now very reliable.

rose901, 05 Feb 2010how can i activate the clock beside the battery icon? anyon... moreHi rose9101, there is no way 2 activate clock beside the battery icon. I believe u r asking because u have seen it on other sony ericsson models. Fyi, W395 runs on OpenSSl Platform which differs frm other model which are running on Sony Ericsson standard platform...Unfortunately, OpenSSL doesn't support that feature. Any question regarding W395 or any other SE models >> kevin_rajandran@yahoo.com

Hey guys. I just got my hands on this cute slider & would like 2 comment on ups & downs of dis model. I tested Dusky Grey version with 1 GB Sandisk M2 on it. Basically it runs on OpenSSL platform & thus its simple & user friendly as well. The phone's user interface is about the same as other models in SE. Just that unfortunately, it doesn't support third-party themes. Users do have the options to use themes but u can only play with the 5 preloaded ones. The best part about this slider is the sound & music quality. Stereo speakers built on it are really gud(loud & crisp). I got HPM-62(the most lowest quality headphone frm SE) in my package. But surprisingly when i hooked it up & played a song through the walkman player ver 2.0, it sounded great. I felt the clarity & the nature of the song. The music quality is mind-blowing. A number of equalisers are present. Bass++ is my favorite but it depends on the user's taste as well. If u want an extra studio-like quality just turn on 'stereo widening'. JAVA apps support is pretty gud. Overall system performance is moderate. M2 inserted works as the RAM. The higher the M2 capacity, the better the general performance! Camera is the drawback. Absence of auto-focus causes the picture quality 2 be just ok(not gud, not bad). The picture will look fine if taken under natural lightning & viewed through a PC. Sliding mechanism is perfect. Now its time 4 me 2 give overall rating. [ Music(5/5), Camera(3/5), Performance(4/5), Overall rating 4/5 ] If any of u have queries about this particular model or any other sony ericsson models just drop me a mail 2 kevin_rajandran@yahoo.com
