Are you sitting comfortably? Steve quite likes the W960. The latest UIQ3 device, Sony Ericsson's second UIQ Walkman phone, with regular keypad, regular styling, flush screen and a practical 128MB of RAM, has made an impression. His thoughts on the W960 from the point of view of a smartphone user are here. I'll be looking at the Walkman components for the audiophiles next week.
"I could perhaps summarise the W960 as, at last, a UIQ 3 smartphone that I'd be prepared to use day to day. It really is that much of an improvement over the idiosyncratic W950. In contrast, the W960 seems a lot more... normal.
"While regular readers will be reeling with shock that I'm prepared to endorse the Sony Ericsson W960, you should all also note that the device is by no means perfect and that it's very obviously in typical 'early firmware' territory. Most problems are fixable in software though and there's no denying that the W960 is a pretty powerful and desirable smartphone."
