    Anonymous, 05 Oct 2009By the way, will updating the phone's firmware affect perso... moreYes unfortunately. I updated mine about 2 or 3 weeks ago and it wiped all contacts not on sim and all my game saves. :(

    Other than that, I am loving the phone. I had a w890i before and it was so terrible I didnt think I could give SE another chance, but i'm glad I did. It was a toss up for between this and the N86, but as the most important thing to me is how the phone works as a dedicated mp3 player, I went with the W995, however I dont know how the two compare ive not properley tried an N86. Audio quality is fantastic, screen is very bright and sharp, and seems quite large to me, but perhaps I wasj ust used to small phones.

    The N86 looks slightly better to me cosmetically but oh well. Camera is great, but it's not quite as good as my gf's Samsung Pixon 8mp for some reason, and the video quality is average at best.

    I would only really suggest this phone if you use your phone as a dedicated mp3 player, because there must be slightly better options for camera.

    Web surfing on the phone is ok, but nothing great.

    Overall im very happy.

          Vish, 06 Oct 2009I wud b greatful if any1 can tel me wether the 256k colour ... moreThe screen is very good and very bright even brighter than N86. The colour is not as rich as 16 million colour Nokias for example - but very nice. The only time the pixels might look seperated is when the phone starts up with the SE logo else unnoticeable. Why don't you wait for Aino?

                  'software failure never hbeen heard of for SE'? 'no such thing as faulty batches'?

                  Yes there is complete software failures and faulty batches. Id know i work in a phone store and ive ELF'd my w995 3 times due to buggy software, usually happens in initial batches of phones. Its a good phone once software is updated however. i would've swapped model;s otherwise. but dont spin BS man, no phone or company is bulletproof...
