We like:
Walkman player; Wi-Fi; 3G; memory
We don't like:
Too many input options; interface isn't finger-friendly enough
CNET UK judgement:
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
