      it is unfair when somebody just wake up to criticise something only because he/she is not so technically inclined. W960i is meant for people who are technically inclined and developers of softwares. yes it is complicated but for a technically minded person it is fun... so pls this forum should be for a way forward and not just for somebody to discourage others bcos of his inexperience.

        This is really a bad phone. I've had mine for less than a year, and man, does it suck.

        The operating system is dead slow, the touchscreen is insanely annoying, and apart from a couple of nice functions, the overall user experience is one of frustration. As far as battery life goes - no comment. The worst though, is when the one thing on a touchscreen phone that just isn't supposed to break, namely the touchscreen function, breaks. My phone also hasn't made one single sound in more than two months - there is a problem with the sound. I still haven't taken it in, because according to my service provider, there is a "chance that all the data saved could be lost," and I find it to be a mission to copy things over to my PC using the provided software. I'm also struggling with the internet, though that might just be me being inept.

        I don't use the music player much either. This is due to how impractical it is as well as the fairly poor sound quality. The standard headphones also stink big time.

        If anyone is considering this phone, don't. Get a basic phone that does everything that you do most, everyday, well. That would be phoning and sending text messages. If you want a music player, get an iPod. I'm surely going to be following this strategy when I upgrade...

                                Music Lover: W960i

                                But, for overall performance, I would recommend 5800!
