Sony Ericsson W960 is Sony Ericsson's top notch music offering featuring a massive 8 gigabyte flash memory, Walkman 3.0 Touch player, QVGA resolution touch screen, WLAN & Symbian OS with UIQ 3.0. Don't start shaking in your pants because you just saw UIQ...

Sony Ericsson W960 feels like one of the best products ever from Sony Ericsson. The operating system and user interface is strong and performs well. Multitasking is good because of the excessive amount of free RAM memory. Calls are good and the speaker i...

As far as Sony Ericsson's Walkman music phones go, the W960 is pretty sedate looking. But while it might look more like a suit than a hipster, it still packs a touchscreen and the full Walkman experience. Ricky asks it to dance in this review.

As the W960 features 8GB of integrated memory, it is trying to directly rival the higher class stand alone portable music players. In order to be competitive, it must be able ......

If you are familiar with Sony Ericsson smartphones you would know that they all use Symbian Operating System and UIQ interface. The W960 is not an exception and it comes with exactly the same OS as the P1 – Symbian 9.1 and UIQ for phones with touch-sensit

The Sony Ericsson W960i is a "Walkman" version of the Sony Ericsson P1i 3G smartphone, and it can be considered to be a straight upgrade to the existing W950i.

It is an unusually elegant looking device, available in one colour only (Vinyl Black). Despite the wide range of features, the W960i weighs a reasonable 119 grams and measures 109 x 55 x 16mm. Sony Ericsson anticipate that the W960i should be available in...

Thanks to Sony Ericsson, music phones are all the rage, and the W960i is the richest, best-sounding phone we've heard so far. Its 8GB of onboard memory nets you plenty of space for your tunes and the new drag and drop media manager is a breeze. If you're...

Walkman player; Wi-Fi; 3G; memory

Too many input options; interface isn't finger-friendly enough

The Sony Ericsson W960i is very close to being a fantastic phone. Audio quality from the music player is excellent and on paper it has some great features. Unfortunately, when you're using it, it just doesn't feel as good as it could be

candybar style smartphone with 8GB of storage

With 8GB of storage, a touch-screen and full smartphone credentials, it is a real shame that the user interface lets things down for this music-playing smartphone.

The Walkman phone to replace your iPod?

Walkman music player, connectivity

Control, keypad keys feel flimsy, no standard headphone socket

As a music player it works well, especially with that 8GB of storage, but the W960i seems to fall short in many areas

Once again the Sony W960i could be classed as an iPhone killer device of sorts, it certainly has the storage space to match the latter, with 8GB to play with ...

The Sony W960i seems to get better the longer you use it, at first the interface will seem a struggle and the performance issues off putting, but we believe the latter could be resolved with a Firmware update. As it is the sheer amount of storage space p...

Sony Ericsson makes a point of creating phones for pretty much every demographic, from cheap and cheerful handsets like the recently announced T280 to advanced smartphones like the P1i, including Cyber-shot models for the camera buffs and Walkman devices...

Great 3.2 megapixel camera with good editing features, Useful 3G and Wi-Fi connectivity, Generous 8GB internal storage, Simple touchscreen interface

Occasionally slow operation, Awkward to navigate, Battery life isn't great, No memory card expansion

The top-of-the-range Walkman is certainly packed with features, it's just a shame it isn't a bit easier to use

Complete with a touch display, decent camera and 8GB of storage, is this mobile phone a significant improvement over its predecessor?

You could argue that because of the flat screen and the cameras I should give the W950i a slightly better score than its predecessor, the W950i. But I don't think this is enough of an improvement. I wish Sony Ericsson would take the very capable UIQ and s...
