          I heard that he is a twin of W980. Just it does not have 8GB interal memory.

                              I have Z 520 clamshell and yes the flex cable was changed twice along the last 3 years and now it happens again but i no longer find this spare unit in the service center so i am using it and the screen flickers and move around and waiting to buy new mobile.
                              i haven't tried samsung mobiles nor motorolla.
                              i think samsung mobiles are very light and it wouldn't tolerate( i don't know if this right or wrong),about motorolla in my country the company that guarrantee the motorlla is very bad and don't have good reputation and i won't buy a mobile that hold the same company guarrantee
                              so what is left now is either nokia or sony ericsson, i prefer sony ericsson but if there is a better nokia phone it is ok.
                              may be i haven't arranged my points well.
                              Good build quality,light weight,small in dimension, good keys, good battery,good looking.
                              i want to buy something as good and better than my Z 520 not less than it.
                              although z 520 has the problem of flex but i love it and appreciate the phone even it doesn't have the huge features that are available now.
                              about w 980 i think it doesn't have the option to show the picture of the person calling i have read some comments of people asking about this option.
                              anyway it is a good phone but it is still expensive in my country it is around 430 USD although in every other country around 250 USD
                              i think i will wait for the T 715 sony ericsson phone i hope it will be good phone, if not i may think about the w 995 again

                                Ashraf, 15 Aug 2009Hi Kean and Tim thanks for your replies i do agree with... moreAllow me to tell you:

                                I know clamshell phones have a weakness in flexible cable thing. Some people always said like that. I am worry too about the flexible cable, but it's OK for me. I had used clamshell phone for 21 months and never replace the flexible cable until now. You said Z520's external screen can show picture of person who are calling. I think Sony Ericsson W980 and Motorola RAZR phones can do this too because their external screen is colorful. Of course, W995 is expensive because its features. If you said you want a good looking phone, I would say some Motorola phones (RAZR V3i, RAZR V3x, RAZR V3xx, RAZR Maxx V6, RAZR2 V8, RAZR2 V9, W510), Samsung Z560, Nokia 6600 Fold, and some Sony Ericsson phones (Z770, Z610i, Z555i, W980, W508, T707) are good looking. For quality, all phones have advantage and disadvantage.
                                So, why do still confuse to buy a phone? Consider what design you want and what features you want.

                                Hope this will help. Thank you!

                                    thanks for your replies

                                    i do agree with you about not spending much money on a mobile phone. i also have a suspicious about the xpress music phone and also the symbian i thought that i will not like them. i am kinda convinced about sony ericsson phones.
                                    but really i need a phone and have made many searches and haven't decided one till now, i know that there is no perfect one.
                                    i do like clamshells but i am worried about the flex problem also in my country the se service is very bad and i don't want to go again with that problem.
                                    i do like the w 508 and also the w 995 but it is too expensive.
                                    so if you can help me to recommend a mobile for me i will be very thankful
                                    the things that are most important to me: is to have small mobile phone in dimesnions and to be light weight.
                                    another important thing i want a good build phone and also to be a good looking one.
                                    w 995 is a good build one and i haven't heard problems about it till now but it is 113 gram and when in my hand i feel it is little heavy weight.
                                    it has many good features ( i do confess that i don't need all these features) but the main problem it is so expensive
                                    w508 is a good one but when i compare it to the old Z 520 that i still have. both are good looking
                                    z 520 is better in build quality and in keys and even at the external screen. the external screen can show the picture of the person calling and i think this option not included in w 508 since th external screen is only monochrome
                                    it is 3.5 years old and se instead of making better things they are cost saving
                                    i think other features of camera and sound and memory they all are in favour of the w 508

                                    thank you

                                      ness, 12 Aug 2009hi! may i know if the camera still works if you flip dow... moreness! I think the camera won't work in the flip (cover) is closed. Most of clamshell phones aren't created to do that. Average people who use clamshell phone, open the flip to photo. So, I think no problem, if W508 can't do that. If you want a clamshell phone that can do this, choose Motorola RAZR2 V8 or RAZR2 V9. They can do this (I had ever read in a magazine). :)

                                        Well, I think Sony Ericsson W995 and Nokia 5800 Xpressmusic are good phone. Both of them have HSDPA support, wifi, GPS, etc. Nokia 5800 Xpressmusic is touch screen and uses Symbian 5th edition operating system, while Sony Ericsson W995 is not. For me, I don't like them. I like clamshell phones (no all types).
