    Not ALL SE phone included the headphones with adapter!

    For example, own the P1i and it came with standard earphones with the proprietary plug!
    The earphones sound like crap!

    Had to buy a simple 3.5mm adaptor to use the darn media player in the P1i with standard headphones!

    Sony is one company that still holds out in using their proprietary port for charging and for using headphones instead of using the industry standard mini USB port for charging and 3.5mm port for headphones!

    Goodness! Many of you weren't even aware that SE does NOT included the 2 piece earphone set with some models!

    You'll notice that many people especially online phone reviewers have critisized this
    fact in nearly every review!

It'd prob'ly be worth the wait for the amount of money you'd save buying a branded one...

If you add a decent amount of music, so that you have a choice you will soon use up that space. Fingers crossed they bring out a version of this where we can upgrade the memory stick for those of us that want the extra space, as currently it's on board 'shared' memory.
                              That and the lack of flash and zoom on the camera, the only real limited factors on an otherwise very cool phone.

                                  arak, 05 Jul 2008i really wanted such mobile to have a candy bar configurationHey, they most likely will have similar functions on the next successor of w960.
                                  Hopefully that successor will have a flash and auto focus camera just like w960....

                                  Personally, I've been waiting for a clam-shell-walkman phone for along time :D

Ever tried to send a text from a samsung? Type the message then go to options, send, send only/save & send, then either contacts or enter the number. I'll never use another samsung as long as I live...
