      Anyone used the "Walk Mate" feature?
      Is it useful??

      Do not have it on my model!
      Only thing similar is "Tracker" under:
      Menu - Location services - Tracker

      It's GPS based and tracks where you go.

      Is this similar to "Walk Mate"?
      Can it be downloaded anywhere??

          SP, 21 Jul 2009Don't get me wrong...I think the phone is good but I was ex... moreNope, you're correct.

          For the high-end Walkman phone and the high price, the W995 should have included a "better" camera that rivals that of the Cybershot phones or Cameras.

          It's not good for night or long-distance shots but it's good day/short-distance shots.

          But it's a given that the phone excels in the media player since it is a Walkman phone.

          This is "supposedly" the "last" Walkman phone as SE is reportedly stating in various news reports that it may merge certain phone lines. If so, SE screwed up in ending the Walkman line with a so-so camera!

            Randy, 21 Jul 2009**Update** If other people are searching high and low fo... moreThat's strange...

            Bought the Asian version when w995 first came out in Asia and it's there under:

            Menu - Messaging - IM

            But it could be a regional feature so that would explain it since different settings/features are phone dependent on phone market region.

            For example... iBBC player is meant for UK market!

              You can set brightness level in Settings.

              Fade out is somewhat related to Brightness setting and used to conserve battery life and appears to be a fixed setting.

                                I got my W995 today and love it. Am just confused over 1 issue, and that is where is the text delivery notification option that comes with previous models? I found this invaluable and will sorely miss it if it is not available.

                                  i cant believe sony ericsson are advertising this as a movie phone!

                                  the omnia HD can play incredibly high bitrates and has a better screen, as does the HTC touch HD, the iphone, most modern day LGs

                                  so why would anyone pick this?!?
