CNET Asia Review
6.4
out of 10View score
The bad: Uneven keypad lighting; poorly located Back button; no built-in 3.5mm audio port; dismal battery life; laggy performance.
The bottom line: The W960i Walkman may be the company's flagship music-phone, but its various shortcomings take away most of the hype on the handset.

First true TM "WALKMAN sound, sexy looks, killer downloadable apps, iphone killer
May 4, 2008Rating: 10 out of 10 (Perfect)
Pros: walkman 3.0 (touch), sound to die for, jog dial, touchscreen, sexy looks, countless apps n amazing 3d games online, office applications
Cons: lil expensive, have to clean wipe the screen 5 times a day to make it luk spotless, but lets face it .... it not DAT BAD!
Opinion:
I'm a total music buff, and a big fan of in canal the walkman headsets you get along with the phone (ht ebass just blows you away!) . I had a w810i prior to this. The audio quality's much better in the 960, almost comparableto my sony NET MD walkman, and its also a looker ! I'm pretty comfy with th jog dial cuz i'v used it for years on my net md. Plus its symbian so you can download millions of apps online and frm p2p networks,, themes and premuim 3d games. I had to put up with java for a whole 3 years, but that was pretty decent too near the end. My w810i lasted me 3 n a half yrs without ever once having to take it for repairs, (I used it as phone 3 hrs a day and as a walkman fr 2 hours) and I expect the same frm the 960.. Sony ericsson ...

Apr 27, 2008Rating: 9 out of 10 (Spectacular)
Pros: 8gb, High Resolution, MP4 Playback, Sleek and Nice Design
Cons: No GPS, 3.5G, 5mega...
Opinion:
It is unresonable.. Correct if i will the editor i wouldn't not comment on the phone such that everyone are wishing to buy w960i..
We understand it may not reach the expected rate.. It Below 6.5 over 10.. Most recommanded N95 8gb editors choice oh please dunnoe how many went for servicing and complainting even more then W960i..
Shortcoming of the back button is alrite.. Not the size, the features we are looking into it.. 5mega, GPS, or etc not everyone want that.. Anyway it bias that all.....

Pros: 8GB. Good looking
Cons: Slippery; at least for me.
Opinion:
I've reviewed this phone a few months ago and given it a very high score (between 8 and 10). However, I sold this phone a couple of weeks after using it. Does that mean the phone was no good in itself? No. It's just that it doesn't suit me. That's all.
What I don't understand is why are people slamming the Cnet's editor just because his review is not in their favour?
When his reviews are in their favour, has anyone given him praise at all? C'mon, give me a break.
How would we feel if we're Cnet's editor and we gave what we thought it's our honest and sincere opinion and someone slams us for not giving our opinion (be it high or low) in their favour?
Everybody is entitled to his/her own opinion. Our opinions are just, well, our opinions. As long we have used the ... Read more
