We don't like:
Flat keypad; lack of built-in 3.5mm headphone jack; lack of camera
CNET.co.uk judgement:
The W950i is one of Sony Ericsson's best Walkman phones so far. If you want a music phone that can hold up to 1,000 songs and gives you access to a plethora of services then the W950i is definitely worth a look. Unfortunately, it's really let down by its keypad -- you should test it out before you commit to buying
