"While the core of the W960 has to be the Walkman music player, the extra musical applications that are in the smartphone do add a certain level of synchronicity to the device as a whole, although much like the rest of the W960 software there seem to be one or two minor flaws that can potentially dilute the overall experience. The package is well rounded and is easily comparable to that supplied on other smartphones.
The software in the W960 is pretty much identical to that in the W950 from last year. What makes the difference is in the hardware and the physical design of the machine. With a much nicer flush screen, regular keypad buttons and smart styling, the W960 beats the W950 hands down in the fashion stakes – and with everything else equal, that makes the W960 a very worthwhile music device."
