      I'm afraid to update my W995 firmware. Will updating it make any changes to personal data, games, or applications?

                That faulty batch can also be fixed in the same way.

                    Guess you are a fanboy of other brand. Complete software failure has never been heard in any SonyEricsson phone. It's the most famous and successful phone now. And hey, why don't you flash your phone. Nobody can believe on your false stories like whole batch is faulty and all. It's an Excellent phone. See the points and votes this phone has got.

                      Does updating the phone's firmware change personal data, games, applications, etc in any way?

                        Had the phone 3 days. loved it for the first 71 hours. After just 3 days, i have had complete software failure. Sony Ericsson have made a total batch of these faulty phones. So beware...

Remove SIM and M2 card. Run SEUS. Select your phone. Plug data cable to USB port of PC. Now click Next / Continue . Press C button from one hand say left one and plug data cable to phone from another hand. First the driver would install. Meanwhile there would be 6 steps being shown on screen. Do not release button until 7th point comes up. Release the button and follow SEUS software for next steps.

                            I love se, 02 Oct 2009I am an se fan and w995 has impressed me a lot want to buy ... morewell.. i am se fan too. I have w995 and would like give my opinion, that perhaps could answer your question ^^
                            1. fast port: file transfer from phone to computer quite slow if i compare it with w960 (w960 was my phone before i changed it to w995)
                            2. image display is good as you can expect from SE. i love se for the lovely pics on the display. the pics look okay to me.
                            3. speakers are good , again if you compare it to w960. i don't know much about speaker other se phone but i can say it is good. (anyway.. the music output from

                            headphone is awesome... again.. as you can expect from SE)
                            4. kickstand. i haven't used it yet but it can support the phone quite well.
                            5. keypad is so comfort, seemed durable to me. i compliment this phone for its keypad. it is very soft, so easy to press. i've heard that C series have a bad keypad that will crack or something,

                            but i haven't found anything like that in this phone. maybe cause i only have using it for 1 month?
                            6. it has flash, the resolution is vga (640x480), 2mp,5mp,8mp (1mp and 3mp option are not available). camera quality in dark is good. but still good lighted enviroment

                            can produce more impressive pics.
                            7. the battery cover is soo thin... so you must be careful when you open it. 8mp logo, it comes out. at least it hasn't vanished yet till now ^^.
                            9, i don't really understand this question so i can't answer it. but as for my experience, if you turn off this phone, you will need to wait for about 2 minutes before you

                            can turn it on again. don't know why. if you try to press the on/off butten as soon as it turned off, nothing will happen, so i usually wait.

                            if i can suggest, the phone is good. still the best of walkman phone out there to me. it still have some problem like the volume key which is so small that almost hardly

                            pressed, in contrary, the walkman button is so easy to press that i almost always hit it when i want to press the volume key. the position of walkman button is not

                            strategic so i barely used it. but not problem like you worried about
