To many sub menu's
Review:
Took a few days to get into using this phone. It is very different from any Sony Ericsson I have had before. Its menu's are more like a pc than a phone. I found this the key to using the W960i it has sub menu's very similar to that on a operating system.
The camera is excellent of a MP3 phone. Does not loose to much clarity in digital zoom and focuses well.
The MP3 player is excellent. The in ear head phones are up to the usual Sony standard. The sound quality is superb. It is also easy to find a track, album or artist especially if you you use the search facility.
It also searches the Internet well. Fairly fast seaarches and downloads.
Oh yes, it's not a bad phone either! Text menu's were confusing to begin with.
If I have any complaint about this phone it is the fact I had to refer to the manual for some operating instructions. First phone I have had to do this with. After all I'm a guy ad we don't do instruction manuals well!!
I would give this phone 9/10 and I only drop a mark because I think it could look much better. Sony Ericsson have put a great deal into the operations of this phone and forgotten to make it look as good as it really is.

Clicking touchscreen may be useful for clumsy people, but ditching the Qwerty keyboard has its drawbacks
INQ Mini 3G
Sluggish at times, and not the easiest phone to use, but it offers a great range of features at a low price
BlackBerry Bold 9700
Has everything that makes the BlackBerry format great, but other smart phones offer more innovation
