Anonymous, 08 Jan 2009Thanks for the answer on GPS! And what exactly do you mean... moreMaybe i can answer that. There's a lot of device and software of GPS in the market. U will have to install the GPS software into the phone then pair it with the GPS receiver. Your phone will be use as the diaplay and the GPS device will link to the sattelite. For me, i'm using Garmin Mobile XT for symbian to install it into my W960 then pair it with Garmin GPS 10x GPS revceiver. For further info u can go to garmin websites. Hope this will help u

    And what exactly do you mean by GPS accesories? Do I have to have some external part or something like that?
    And what's the price range of those accesories?

          Gnani, 06 Jan 20091]my fone finds it difficult opening programs early in d mo... moreQ1. i agree, but still u can load ur phone with more than 4GB, its alrite unless the content is multimedia like music, pictures etc.., apps will make ur phone slow, either u keep them open or closed!!
          Q.2 theres a firmware update for this pone tht u can find on sony ericsson's official site!!

            ewer, 07 Jan 2009thx bro for the answer.. tat's mean i cannot use the phone... morehi ewer,
            no0o, i dont mean tht!!
            u can surely use the phone's memory till 8GB for storing music, videos or watever u like!!
            i wz saying tht if u install many applications (those apps do not much memory, probably 50-1000 KB), it would make ur phone slow nd sumtimes hang!!
            nd frankly speaking coz im using this phone since 8 months, i would not recomend anyone to buy this phone and at tht same time i would not stop also!!
            if u want a good smartphone for a reasonable price, i would recommend u nokia phones like N82, N95 or 5800!!
            im not a nokia fanboy type but im saying this coz i owned N82 for a couple of weeks and frankly tht phone wz very good, better thn W960i in many areas but not all!! If u want a touchscreen phone, u rather go for 5800 as its out, nd it has all the features tht W960i has nd i think its aso cheaper!! but if ure not interested in nokia phones, or ur more into sony ericsson, then its alrite to buy this phone!!
            W960i is also a very good phone (ITS NOT SLOW - unless u install MANY apps as i told, like 10-12 apps r fine), just tht since UIQ is officially dead and there are other competitive phones out, i would recommend the other phones!!

                      Gnani, 06 Jan 20091]my fone finds it difficult opening programs early in d mo... moreactually it depends on which firmware version his phone has, sony ericsson released a firmware update which is, R9K009,so he might be able to update if he has an older version, but if his version is, R9K009, then, there's no update.

                                the phone is awesome. It is a bit slow sometimes..especially when im downloading emails and trying to search in the menu at the same time. Only major problem is when recieving files via bluetooth, you have to maunually save it too the 8GB memory. Otherwise the best phone that i have used so far.
