The Perfect Multimedia Phone : SE W960i

[gxsaurav]

Lolz....looks like SE has taken the spotlight from iPhone just a few days of iPhone's release. iPhone is already severaly over priced & flawed Phone while W960i is not only gorgeous but also damn powerful.Anyone in there sense will not buy iPhone with so many limitations when W960i provides 8 GB Storage too & much more features then iPhone like Symbian OS & 3.2 Mega pixel camera. Those who didn't like N95 as a cool device should look at this instead.

1) 240X320 pixel 256k colour 2.6" Touch screen

2) Symbian OS 9.1 with UIQ 3 Interface

3) Opera Mobile

5) 3.2 mega pixel with Auto Focus.

6) GPRS EDGE 3G HSDPA WiFi

7) USB 2.0, USB Mass storage device. No drivers needed & it will work with any OS out there. Just copy paste your files to the correspoding folder

8 ) Bluetooth 2.0

10) It has led flash just like K750i but not Xenon flash like K810i or K790i.

11) Push Mail support.

Wow finally one ultimate phone from SE. Thanks for the info.
Also please tell us the source of this information.

[i_am_crack]

Thanks for the info.....Being using SE since 2000

[gxsaurav]

This is my next buy as soon as I get a job again

[blueshift]

Yes..I just right now read about this mob in GSM arena.
I surely love this mobile. What will be its price?
But are you sure. it supports EDGE? Read from the link here


SE also released 5 megapixel camera phone. K850
Info

[Sykora]

That said, it'll definitely cost more than the W950.

[sachin_kothari]

any idea about the price?

[dreamcatcher]

shud be round 28000 or less..its a comp to the iphone remember..so....i guess prices will be a bit low and in par with the w950

[amitava82]

OMFG.. I WANT ONE OF THOSE.... Sorry for shouting..

[Apollo]

Specs look really good. Is it in stores now?

[soham]

According to GSM Arena it doesnt feature EDGE as mentioned here.

[amitava82]

WTF?? No EDGE? Whats wrong with SE? Most of the SE phones does not come with EDGE.. Consider P990i, such a good phone but no EDGE!!!! :shok:

[sachin_kothari]

i think we will need to use more than 1 phone in future if we need all the features.
iphone - no 3G and SE - no EDGE

[Cool G5]

I would still go with N95.
At last SE bought symbian os in their w series.

[gxsaurav]

There is EDGE, you guys are getting it wrong.

W880i for example was for Europe without EDGE but with 3G, while W888i was for Asia & China with EDGE but without 3G.

This current W960i is 3G & it is for Europe only. SE has not given any info regarding W960i for Chine & Asia yet. If they come here they have to support EDGE cos 3G is not here (other then Japan)

killer looks

[aryayush]

I used to be very updated about the latest and greatest among mobile phones, but ever since Apple announced the iPhone, I've just stopped visiting GSM-Arena.

That is one hell of a phone. SE always makes awesome products.

[Lucky_star]

Awesome phone!!
8GB walkman+3.2 megapixels+symbian
Good combination.
when will it be available here

[sandeepk]

Very good looks!

[hullap]

Really good phone

This is why I tell you not to follow some company like a cult.

This phones pwns iPhone like hot knife cutting butter. Not only it provides far mote features, but so good multimedia capability that now there are only 2 reason to buy an iPhone over this.

1) You are a Macboy & like to drool on anything Apple blindly

2) You want a phone on which you want to play your iTunes purchased music. But in this case you obviously already have an iPod.

To be very frank, I can't seem to understand how the much touted multitouch feature of iPhone makes using a phone easy. It is also not yet sure whether iPhone can work with stylus or not, but since there are hardly going to be any 3rd party applications for iPhone, a stylus won't be missed there.

One more thing, althougn not official, but since W950i supports various DRM stores, chances are that W960i might already support your favoriot music store purchased music.

[eggman]

Oh my god!! This phone is awesome, really awesome.. I wish I had the money to get it

[gxsaurav]

^^^ it is not even out yet dude

One thing which I was expecting in new SE phones is 16bit colours screen. But that does reduces battery life.

03.) OS X.
04.) Multi-touch.
05.) The much better screen.
06.) A full-fledged web browser.
07.) The awesome user interface.
08.) The incredibly slim profile.
09.) Killer looks.
10.) Flaunt value.

The phone in its current state DOES NOT have EDGE. Period!

When it comes to Asian countries, we will see what modifications they do but right now...it does not have it.

11) You've got enough money to flush down the drain
12) OS X ( like it will be able to run OS X apps )

Buying an iPhone is not flushing money down the drain, regardless of any opinion you might hold.

OS X, in and of itself, is the reason I'll be buying the iPhone. It would have been better if it supported native third party applications, but it is not just great because of the applications.

03) Not the one you use on Mac. Don't worry, it won't let U Expose

4) Tell me one thing, just one thing. What is there in Multi touch that we cannot already do in single touch phones? Just one thing.....which should not include that pinching pic to zoom out or zoom in. It is just a method to do it, we use a slider in Windows Mobile.

5) Yup

6) Opera in Symbian/Windows Mobile anyone? which has been doing this since 2003

7) Compleately Subjective. Tell me arya how does that UI makes working on a phone easy?

8,9, 10) W960i, W910i.....nope won't ring a bell in your head.

Buying an iPhone is not flushing money down the drain, regardless of any opinion you might hold.

To be very frank, it is. You can't just stare at your phone 24x7, nor u can use it as a multimedia device 24x7. Most of the time it will stay idle in your pocket while u do your work (means advertising apple)

OS X, in and of itself, is the reason I'll be buying the iPhone. It would have been better if it supported native third party applications, but it is not just great because of the applications.

Wow....tell me one thing. What makes an OS better over the other?

1) Security? well, all Windows Mobile & Symbian Phones are very secure if you do some research.

2) Application? Well, I don't think I need to tell you how functional the Windows Mobile & Symbian Applications are.

[ambandla]

I would say this one is REAL competitor to iphone.
