"Sony Ericsson W960 is aptly the big gun in the Sony Ericsson portfolio of music-centered handsets. Gifted with the scorching 8GB of storage space and a large touchscreen TFT display, a 3-megapixel camera, Wi-Fi and 3G capabilities, the W960 easily stands out in the Walkman crowd. Powered by the Symbian OS and UIQ user interface, it delivers one-of-a-kind Walkman experience with rich fullscreen visualizations and advanced track filtering. All this is enough to have us drooling over the specs sheet, eager to get our hands on this smarty Walkman and see what it's made of."

Final words
Summing it up, the Sony Ericsson W960 easily offers more than any other Sony Ericsson Walkman before. Positive changes compared to the W950 are noticeable both in system performance and in the hardware equipment. In terms of software, the handset is identical to the previous UIQ 3 mobiles and, when compared to Nokia S60 smartphones, loses only on VoIP capabilities, which are much more elaborate in the latest S60 mobiles.
The biggest controversy as we see it, when making the purchase decision for W960, lies in the use of a touchscreen interface for a regular smartphone. Our opinion is that a smartphone interface should be either optimized for finger touching or the screen should not be touch sensitive at all. Pulling the stylus out for anything except handwriting on the screen is not justifiable. So, just to put it shortly, the W960 would have been a great choice if it had some sort of a D-pad to allow easy single-handed navigation through the menu options without the need for stylus all the time.
However, we find the Sony Ericsson W960 a great choice for all you music fans that don't mind using both hands for operating your handset

Interesting review... About the (camera) pictures, I never understand why people post resized samples, it says so little. (And these are some of the better samples?). Also trying to determine if I see something of a green tint (the indoor pics seem to have strange colors on the right...)
Ah well, I love the look but I love my qwerty keyboard on the P1i more I think... Wonder what firmware version the W960 is on.

What's the bluetooth adaptor? is it included in the box?
"Now, an intriguing accessory of the W960 is the Sony Ericsson HBH-DS220 stereo Bluetooth headset adaptor."

The only thing that worries me is the screen. If you look at the picture comparing the screen to the k850, the w960 looks TERRIBLE compared to it. Honestly I don't see how PeterKay could say the screen looks great in his review if it looks like that. PeterKay, any thoughts?
