hi,
well i have few questions about w960i.
How much ram does it have(hope its like p1i's!)?
Does it record videos on 30fps?
Will its volume be atleast as loud as w900i(w950i's volume sucked real bad, n almost every other se phone's volume is lower than that of nokia's n73 or other n series)?
Will it have phone lock thingy like the one in s60 series(nokia)..cuz its quite pathetic to not have that(my w900i doesnt have it
)?
N,
Why the hell doest it have only 3x zoom!!????????
Thanks to anyone who can answer it, also if these question were posted earlier(i tried search n cudnt find em), then i m sorry.

as there is no dedicated hardware music player button (despite what the white pages say, but i think they're a copy/paste from the W950i).
Isn't the "W" in the keypad a hardware music button?
Well, here is the list of hardware buttons taken from the W960 white pages:
On/Off button.
Keypad with 12 keys.
WalkmanŽ key
C (Cancel) key
Jog Dial, 3-way: up, down and inward.
Back button to switch back a view. Pressing and holding turns the keylock on and off when in standby view.
Play/stop button for the WalkmanŽ player. Also mutes/unmutes the FM Radio.
Volume up/down rocker key. Long press on this button skips to previous or next track or radio station.
That would imply there is a hardware button (play/pause) other than the Walkman button on the main keypad, but it's nowhere to be seen on any W960 picture. Besides, i don't really find the Walkman button to be a practical button at all if you have the phone in your pocket or in a pouch as you'd have to blindly touch around the keypad to locate it and press it. A button on the side of the phone (like on the W950 and so many other models) would be so much more practical.

@djin
Answers to most of your questions can be found on the SE website or various other sources, but here they are nonetheless :
1) 128MB RAM
2) it does record videos at 30fps though only in QCIF format. for QVGA the frame rate is only 15 fps
3) for the volume, can't tell. ask someone like Jimster71 who has tested the phone, or else let's assume that the speaker volume will be reasonably loud like most Walkman-branded models.
4) if by phone lock, you mean the possibility to lock the phone, should another SIM card be inserted or simply at every turn on, then yes it will have it, like most SE phones, Symbian-based or not.
5) it has only a 3x zoom because it's a Walkman phone and camera performance is not a priority. Besides, 3x or 4x zoom does not make such a difference, and honestly using a digital zoom should be avoided altogether, it just makes the picture quality worse.

Hey thanks benitorios.
By phone lock i mean like u know, u need to put a phone lock code each time u wanna access ur phone(not the one in se phone like the code only on startup). I need this code because it helps me protect my data and messages etc from unwanted people.
Also if jimster71 can help me with the volume issue then it wud be great.

hey buddy, why do you need more volume?? its worse if you listen to music from the speakers of any mobile, i wuld rather prefer to listen from a computer speakers rather than a mobile speakers and i think even if you put the headfones the sound is high enough for our hearing pleasure....remember sound always goes haywire at high volumes in any mobile......
and zoom its just a walkman fone and we should be happy tht it has 3.2Mp instead of crying on digital zoom, which is anyhow unnecessary as it decreases the image quality.

Hey Jimster... just a question regarding the screen... is it glass/hard plastic like the iPhone? Or soft like the P1?

i think it's hard plastic and level with the outer part of the screen... unless Jimster71 proves me wrong.
