My slider has broken. It was loose from the first day now it only pushes up half way. Returning it tomorrow for replacement. I want another one cos I love the phone dont want anything else. There is 28 days if faulty. I am shocked because I am careful and look after my phones. The slide only pushes up past the bottom keys. Just when I was curious about how sliders are made this happens really annoyed but at least I shall get a new one again

Damn, you are unlucky indeed
I've had two W995's now and no problems with either of them. Great phone it is
Really like PlayNowPlus, too. Just out here in the Netherlands. Pity I have to say goodbye the second W995 again in some days/weeks

Yes its a great phone no other problems with it just the funny slide. I had a poorly built one as the battery cover is not that tight fitting either. But everything else is great I love it. I am unlucky when it comes to phones. When the slider went I slid it down not with force then I heard something click quite loud. When I tried to push it back up its now stuck
Why do you have to say goodbye to another w995?

Probably the linkage on the slider has bent slightly and needs straightening out again. Common with Sony Ericssons and Samsungs (along with the main connector ribbon coming loose on Samsungs causing display problems). When you slide your phone open or closed you get some resistance before the semi automatic open/closing function kicks in. This is basically 2 thin pieces of metal and a piece of plastic which operate the slide keeping the top section in the open or closed position. Kinda like a spring loaded mechanism but without the spring. The mech has either bent or become dislodged from their position on the slide assembly. The slide is quite solid but its the moving parts that are the main problem as they are quite thin and weak. Done plenty of slider repairs in my time.
Does the W995 suffer from squeaky battery cover syndrome like most Sony Ericsson handsets ? My new C905 has started with it already and i'm expecting my new C901 to get it as well soon.

No the battery cover does not squeak it just does not fit snugly and when you are holding the phone you can feel it move. There is quite a bit of movement. Overall its solid just I had a bad one and I do love the phone. I am not exchanging for something else. Only got it Saturday
the slide is actually pretty solid but with a little movement on one side. The battery cover actually hardly even clicks down into place properly I just hope the next one is better. Just ordered a hard wearing polycarbonate cover online for it from Mobile Fun plus a screen protector.

Ooooo last time I put one of those cases on a slider phone (S500) it caused quite a few scratches getting the rear section on and damaged the slider mech when I tried removing the part covering the top section. Made the slide wobbly.
The Martin Field screen protectors are quite good as are the Expert Shield ones. The missus has just bought me an Invisible Shield full body kit for my C9051 first time i've had one so gotta be careful fitting it. She bought it cos of the colour of my C905 being the gold/bronze colour so it's fully protected against scratches. I believe one has just been done for the W995 as well. Only distributer in the UK is CPW but they've put quite a big markup on the price. We got ours from First2Save on Ebay which were just £1 more than getting them from Invisable Shield themselves. Gonna attempt to mine tomorrow.
Hope you manage to get a replacement matey. Would like a red one myself but my next phone purchase will be the Satio but not until March next year.

Well yes I should get a replacement as its less than one week old and I am in a new contract. If they dare say I did it myself I will go ape though they cant prove otherwise. The invisible shields look cool never seen one properly yet. I would certainly never attempt to take my phone apart or repair it not confident. I would love a Satio but not yet I want to see how it pans out with bugs and reliability first few months. I generally dont normally buy a phone when its first on the shelves best to wait first. Though sometime soon dont know when I am still yet to recieve £10,000 from my uncle in Ireland. He left everything to me my brothers and cousins which means I will treat myself to one ultimate phone
Just gotta wait till his house is sold over there.

the hard plastic protectors are good up to a point but the rough finish inside along with dirt and dust collected between them and the phone tend to scratch and rub the painta away.
