hi guys, I've got a question about w960, i was wondering if some one could help me with that. I have a p1i now and cuz of two major problems i want to change it and since I kind of liked this w960 I wanted to make sure that it doesnt have the same problems i am having with p1, first: you can hear the other persons voice in a very weak volume even when u've put it on maximome mode, and the other is that there is no icon to sort ur smses by Delivered, so they get lost in the middle of the other ones if there is any difference in time of the sender or me as a reciever and i have searched alot but there is nothing i could do for it, so plz do tell me about these two features in w960

    Ok, this question is aimed at any owners of this phone.
    i currently have an N95 (the original one) and my contract comes up for renewal in the next week or so. I dont fancy another nokia, but will probably end up getting one if i dont find something i am confident with.
    I had a w950, it was horrendous, constantly restarting, hanging. was horribly slow to access anything in the memory through the file manager, and in general, i thought it was quite bad. This may have been just the one phone and a combination of firmware problems. However, i like the look of the w960, and am a fan of the walkman series of SE phones. I am looking for a reccomendation as to whether or not this phone has the same issues regarding slow memory access in the file manager, rebooting to "recover ram" and the like. any help would be greatly appreciated. My other alternatives are - "N95 8GB" and the samsung i8510, which im not sure is even out yet. Also, the c905 looks good, but again, not sure of the release date. thanks in advance, sean.

It's certainly not as slow as it would have been if they'd put an 8gb memory card instead of flash memory in.
