- the software is really unstable /crashes/reboots whenever, syncing with outlook corrupts my contacts and calendar items and it is slow.

Score 9.0/10+ I love this phone - paticularly pleased with the large screen and the size of the memory. Music sounds great.
- Not much really - battery not great, but par for the course, given the size of the screen. Also, the screen can be a bit difficult to read in bright sunshine.

Score 8.0/10+ Once you get used to not having the usual soft keys and normal number pad this phone is easy to use with the touch screen working very well. It is also very good for internet browsing which is the main reason I went for it.
- Low battery life

Samantha, Kettering
Score 8.0/10+ the walkman has a good memory, so i can store and listen to hundruds of songs! pictures are high quality and look really good!
- it doesn't have a long battery life and sometimes there are problems clicking things on the touch screen. the signal isn't very good and i often loose the network which means i am unable to send or recieve phone calls and texts, ive been told this is because 3g is being upgraded.

Score 10.0/10+ Best music mobile I have seen to date. Loads of storage (rivaling an iPod Nano), an excellent pair of ear-buds and plenty of battery life that will keep you well choon'd up for ages.
- Number keypad is a little fiddly, you need tiny finger-tips in order not to press 2 buttons at once. Not a major problem though, you have touch-screen (with QWERTY keyboard) and of course the coolest handwriting recognition software I've used.

Expert reviews for Sony Ericsson W950i
TechRadar expert review
If you thought smartphones were all about business, then Sony Ericsson is here to remind you there is life outside the office. After all, when you're stuck in a departure lounge for hours on end, your MP3 player can become your best friend and, naturally enough, Sony Ericsson would prefer you reach for your Walkman phone rather than an iPod. To that end, you get 4GB of Flash memory to store your WMA and MP3 music files which you transfer from your laptop over a USB 2.0 connection.You get three cables in the box that fit the proprietary connector on the bottom of the phone. There's a US…

Pocket Lint expert review
Blurring the boundaries between mobile phones and MP3 players even further, Sony Ericsson's W950 is a phone that carries a hidden secret; a 4GB flash drive for storing music. But it is this good enough to replace two devices with one? We take a closer look. Taking elements from the company's smartphone M600 model, the W950 is a flat fairly large phone...
