Sony Ericsson has been boosted by strong sales of the W995 as it prepares to unveil an Xperia-branded Android handset.
Retail sources have informed Mobile that the W995 has been ‘flying off the shelves’ in its first month of release, after Sony Ericsson gave the device a £5m marketing push.
Sony Ericsson has been counting the costs of the W905’s software problems and the X1 Xperia’s underperformance, but the manufacturer looks set for a better second half of the year.
Sony Ericsson’s marketing manager, Dave Hilton, told Mobile: ‘We are very pleased with the way the W995 has sold, it proves there is still a strong market for people who don’t want a touchscreen, and that there is still an appetite from slider phones.’
The W995’s success looks to be followed up by an Xperia-branded Google Android phone, after a video of the device, codenamed ‘Rachael’, was leaked onto the internet.

"Mr Komiyama’s hopes that a revival is imminent have been bolstered by the recent success of the Sony Ericsson W995 and signs of strong pre-release demand for the 12 megapixel Sony Satio cameraphone. "

The W995 has been selling here like hotcakes as well. Just last week I went out with a friend to help him buy a new cell phone. We caught the last W995 in a local carrier store.
The shop assistant said there'd been a very strong demand for the handset and there probably still is. Apparently.

Great news. The phone itself seems solid and bugfree which bodes well for Aino too.
Now what comes after the W995 will interesting as there is obviously still a strong demand for good Walkman phones.

Great news, hope SE takes a lesson about build quality and launch pricing from W995 launch instead of raising the prices.
