Sony Ericsson W960: 8GB of Internal Memory who needs a card slot

Under: Mobile Phones, Sony Ericsson
Date: June 27th, 2007

The Sony Ericsson W960 or W960i as some will see it is a sleek and stylish phone that will woo you into buying it, let us start with what many people will class as a downside. The downside is that it does not have a card slot, but hold freeze step back and rewind that “Who needs a card slot” it has a massive 8GB of internal memory that is huge for internal standards not alone card slot expansion standards.

According to Sony UK, it still wont play my DJ mixed and live recordings without gaps between the tracks. Very annoying – I wont bother upgrading my trusty W800i with 4Gb already installed.

I can not wait to get this phone, i have already purchased mine from amazon they said i should recieve it around nov/dec it cost me £420. I was going to get the iphone until i saw this beauty. Just gotta wait now (:

The release date has actually been pushed back (for the UK at any rate) till after Christmas, which is extremely disappointing. (the info is from an article on PhonesReview.co.uk) I was very much looking forward to this phone – personally I do think the lack of the card slot is a bit of a downside, because I find it much easier to use the provided card-reader to slot the micros SD into my laptop’s card slot than to connect up the entire phone via a USB port. Having said that, the rest of the phone is +++. The w810i didn’t have an infra-red port, so I can live without it.

i have the w950i n this beaty looks 10x better that n no way is no card slot a downside my w950 has 4GB n av never filled that, cant wait till the 21 of jan 08 wen its released over here in the uk
Dave
Flick, the w810i did have a infra-red port! i know because i have it infront of me right now because i own one. I cant wait until this phone is released so i can get it straight away. I love walkman phones and i have had 3 so far. I dont think i will ever get any phone that isnt a sony ericsson walkman phone.
Oh and Jay..why the hell did you get the w950 ? it is awful lol ! no camera. i mean whats up with that. anyway l8a ppl.

More disappointments:
No camera “mirror” near the lens, and 802.11B Wi-Fi. All devices should be 802.11G by now!!!
I read on one site, that it supports both, but majority of the sites that I’ve read say that it only supports 802.11B! Read
