Sony Ericsson W595

We have told you about the awesome Sony Ericsson W902 so we thought now the Sony Ericsson W595 should get its turn.

The Sony Ericsson W595 Walkman phone is the second handset that has been revealed today, this mobile phone is a quad-band GSM handset with 3G plus HSDPA. The main features other than the 3G support include a 3 megapixel camera; the camera has NO autofocus which is a shame.

It has a 2.2-inch display with QVGA resolution, capable of showing up to 262K colors, the Sony Ericsson W595 music phone will come in different colours which are Cosmopolitan White, Jungle Grey, Active Blue and Lava Black.

    how much does the sony ericsson w595 cost please? thaanks you

    Today I went to buy the w580 but was told by the salesman to wait for the release of the new w595 in October because he says that it is the updated version and that hopefully Sony has addressed the flimsey keypad problems of the w580.

    With the imminent release of the w595, the price of the w580 is now relatively low (£69.95). So do I buy cheap now and stick with the devil I know or wait for the new unproven and undoubtably more expensive w595? More importantly can anyone assure me that the key pad will be more robust and will not break after just 2-3 months months?

    Maine, Q4 mean = 4th quarter of 1 year
    Q1 = Jan,Feb,Mar
    Q2 = Apr,May,Jun
    Q3 = Jul,Aug,Sep
    Q4 = Oct,Nov,Dec
    so Q4 of 2008 mean = Oct/Nov/Dec 2008

    we bought it at amazon.de for 250 euros

    October 2nd, 2008 | 3:24 amLaLa

    It should be out already (not in America I don’t think)… but you can buy it online =D

    October 5th, 2008 | 5:38 pmOzzy

    I brought the phone today in phones for you and it is brilliant £139.95 on orange in white and you must get £10 top up…

    October 6th, 2008 | 9:27 amRinn

    What’s the cost of w595 ?

    October 9th, 2008 | 9:52 amMike

    £129.95 at 3 and is to be released Friday the 10th.

    October 14th, 2008 | 8:13 pmNick Brown

    I just ordered the w595 for £20 per month its a great phone…
    was it released after the w900i?

    October 31st, 2008 | 2:36 pmOlivia Sweeney

    How much is the W595 on pay as you go?

    October 31st, 2008 | 9:42 pmMike

    Read above. $129.95 at 3. BUT the Skype and mail on 3 feature is not working yet!! I work for three in the main office and it will be working in about 1-2 weeks. I love mine. The BT feature with my car stereo is great for music and hands free. Awesome phone.

    November 1st, 2008 | 4:50 pmmadi

    does W595 have msn?

    November 1st, 2008 | 11:00 pmMike

    Yes it does but it is not active just yet. All the software is already installed and it is in final stages of testing as is, Skype, email on 3. Email on 3 will be cool as once set up it will push your emails through to you like a text. So if you have gmail for example, or Yahoo mail it will send your emails right to your handset like a text.
    So far I am very impressed with the phone.

    November 2nd, 2008 | 8:32 pmzee

    At the risk of sounding cheeky… does the phone you have come unlocked when you got it on 3 as its quite new? I would really like to get this phone but know people who have had really bad experiences with 3, nothing against them. No one else has it on pay as you go in this colour! Thanks

    November 3rd, 2008 | 1:29 pmMike

    Jungle grey is exclusive to 3. It’s funny because I wanted it in blue and went to another phone shop to see how I could get a blue one and then unlock it. No luck there as the unlock place wanted a minumum of £30 and said it could take a few days as the phone was so new…scraped that idea.

    Nah, it does not come unlocked from 3. I am new to the UK (from Canada) and am amazed how many cell phones there are in use here and so many networks….good luck.

    Oh, it has Windows Live Messenger….same as MSN? However there are a few features that are in the final stages of testing before the W595 will be able to run some applications…such as Skype, Email on 3 and Windows Live Messenger.

    Personally I think its wrong that all these features are advertised but not “yet” up and running. I am told about 1-2 weeks from head office.

    does this phone have bluetooth please?
    thanks!

    hi every 1 , today im so happy , i get to purchased sony ericsson W959 even though in the market not yet released but i order it from my hp shop , and finally get this phone by today …. this phone are awesome , the PRICE i get is RM 999.
    And this phone , the DISADVANTAGE on this phone is when we capture photo , it not really like K series got shake proved. so the photo got abit blur , and also when we zooming we have to select the mode to the VGA. The worst thing is the 3G only 1 side , which is you can view another party , but another party can view you , due to the camera only got 1 side though .

    November 4th, 2008 | 5:24 amkek

    yes, got bluetooth

    November 8th, 2008 | 4:30 pmellise

    November 8th, 2008 | 4:34 pmellise

    November 9th, 2008 | 7:45 pmkek

    just need to order it , most of them no keep stock though ….

    are you from penang ? if yes , then i get it from one stop mall

    November 11th, 2008 | 7:14 amjim

    hey i’m curious that if i buy this phone from a foreign country, like china, am i able to use it in canada by just putting the sim card in? or do i have to unlock the phone. Since i know most sony ericsson phones are manufacture in china, i’m hoping it does work in canada.

    November 16th, 2008 | 4:07 pmjames

    hey, can you acsess facebook from the w595?

    November 17th, 2008 | 11:08 amRachel

    I got this phone about 3 weeks ago.
    I love it!
    I got it on contract from 3, and i’ve been with 3 for quite a while now and i’ve had no bother with them.
    The Windows Live Messenger on it is good, and yes you can get facebook but it costs, can get bebo as well.
    The only problem is the camera, no flash! And the camera gets blurred easily…

    November 17th, 2008 | 5:24 pmKatie

    i’m going to purchase this phone;
    does the msn cost?

    =D

    November 17th, 2008 | 7:57 pmRachel

    Yhe Msn doesn’t cost on 3, i don’t know about other networks.

    November 17th, 2008 | 8:34 pmkek

    hi Rachel ,
    i fully agreed with the : The only problem is the camera, no flash! And the camera gets blurred easily…

    its not like Kseries ,for the cyber shot …. sigh…..
    im going to wait for sony erricsson C905 - 8.1 mega pixel though …

    by the way how u work on MSN in 595 ?
