Score 8.0/10+ very easy to put music on sounds good through headphones

Score 9.0/10+ Looks good, user friendly, walkman good. Text messaging good now that I'm used to the differences with my previous phone.
- Calendar/ organiser rather basic and the reminder page irritating - have to say no reminder rather than a default setting of no reminder. Text messages sometimes take some time to go through, my previous phone did not do that.

Overall i am well impressed with this phone.

Expert reviews for Sony Ericsson W595
TechRadar expert review
Is it us, or has somebody upped the ante with mid-tier mobiles? Sony Ericsson's latest outing into Walkman territory sees the new W595 sashaying off the shelves with aplomb. Jazzy graphics, Walkman features and a fine set of fun apps, the youth market is well catered for‚Ķbut dig beneath the street-cred and there's a lot to tempt those looking for a more mature mobile. Vivid screenThe Sony Ericsson W595 is from the same mould of sliders as its W580 predecessor, but with some of the more higher-end W910i thrown in for good measure.
