                if the stickers are peeling off, no worry, looks better without than with stickers.

                      Or, call SE tech support or check eBay to see if parts are available.

                      Otherwise, just live without the case since the case is somewhat durable but eventually it'll wear and show signs of scratches!

                            Pros:
                            Excellent camera still quality in good conditions
                            Bright LED flash which can be used as a flashlight
                            Awesome sound quality, conveniently located speakers
                            3.5mm jack
                            Kickstand
                            Youtube AND bbc Iplayer (UK)
                            Screen quality and size
                            Smooth , easy to use interface
                            Awesome Walkman player with music skip, play/stop buttons
                            GPS is quick to find a location, Google Maps v3.0 with Google Latitude preinstalled
                            Wi-Fi has no problem at all
                            The UI is awesome looking, snappy, very easy to use- the best UI of any phone
                            Comfortable soft keys, nav pad
                            Very cool design

                            Cons:
                            Network signal seems poor compared to other SE phones, especially outside from cities where it switches between 3G/GPRS often causing web problems, and loses connection entirely in some places where others can connect
                            High latency on GPS (Slow to update location)
                            The phone is slippery to hold- no grip on the back, sadly far too easy to drop
                            Not the most comfortable keypad, the keys could have been bigger with better feedback
                            Web browser has some issues with pages
                            Fiddly, badly located volume keys
                            Outdated FM radio interface with only basic RDS and no visualisations

                              I had been using n82 & i switched over to w995, but within one day I sold it out again & got a new n82.
                              The only positive point is 995 has an external speaker , else according to me being a 8 m.p its still inferior to 82 in all aspects. If u won;t music , go for it else dn't .

There will be high risk of cannibalization if they put xenon here. Think about the C series, lesser will buy those if they will put xenon with this one. That's what I think

                                        Sony Owner, 23 Aug 2009A survey...... Firmware: R1FA035 Performance: Actuall... moreMy phone is noticeably faster! Most ppl are happy with the update thus far so which firmware version do you have exactly? A branded version or a generic version?

                                        I have my phone since July 10 and nothing's peeled off yet - let's hope it stays that way (and no, i do not have a plastic case).

                                        Value for money - 2/10 is pushing it a bit (but you're entitled to your own opinion); while I agree that SE phones are highly priced, this particular model is absolutely worth the cash spent, and the build quality is excellent (very solid).

                                        Besides video recording/playback capabilities, there's nothing this phone cannot really do.

                                        My verdict: superb all-in-one device (I chose it over Samsung Innov8 btw even tho I W995 costs more in my region).
