Our large review of the upcoming Sony Ericsson W995 is finally online! Believe it or not, we started work on this review back in February, but because I've been rather busy we've not been able to publish it until now. Our review is based on prototype units running very early firmware versions. This means that some features either did not work or were missing, and our review will reflect this. Some sections of the review are rather short compared to our usual standards because of the prototype firmware, but we will naturally update the review with our thoughts of the retail version when it hits the stores in 2½ months.

I have yet to include screenshots in the review, but they'll come soon. There are quite a few images to upload, and I thought you'd rather have the review without all the pictures early on. Many of the screenshots will be similar to the ones from the C510 and C905 review, so you can just check them out, if you want. In short, the W995 is Sony Ericsson's best feature phone to date.

It naturally depends on the buyer. If you don't care about a camera cover then it won't be a disadvantage. I would personally have liked to see it all in this phone, especially the FM transmitter would have been really cool.

Best viewed with on a Linux PC, where you will be able to see naked pics of Kim Kardashian in my sig in the area below. If you're using Internet Explorer and/or Windoze, you will just see a blank area. Get yourself a decent browser and OS to enjoy the sights.
If you're wondering who that lovely lady is in my avatar, you'll be pleased to discover that it is NOT me. It is, in fact, her. Besides, I'm a male.
