The Attractive Of Sony Ericsson W995a

June 4, 2009

sony-ericsson-w995aSony Ericsson Idou became official, the other phone that the company unveiled at GSMA 2009 was released into the world. Sony Ericsson W995a has 8.1-megapixel camera and a Walkman player it had a 3.5-millimeter headset jack and kickstand. Sony Ericsson W995a is attractive and has other attractions of course. The display is brilliant, the music player performs well, and the feature set includes Wi-Fi, stereo Bluetooth, and GPS. It also is a full quad-band world phone that supports AT&T’s 3G network.

Everyone familiar with modern of Sony Ericsson feature phones will feel right at home with the W995a’s user interface; there’s nothing wild, wacky, or new here, and the well-respected NetFront browser appears to make a return in this model. It’s among the best browsers you can find outside of a smartphone; it’ll never top S60, Android, or an iPhone for raw browsing power or speed, but it does a commendable job with desktop-grade websites, and the W995a’s automatic screen rotation is a nice touch.

Sony Ericsson W995a is a hell of a device that does its job as a non-smartphone multimedia powerhouse with aplomb. Problem is, the “non-smartphone multimedia powerhouse” target demographic is getting smaller by the day, encroached on by ever-cheaper models from Nokia, HTC, Apple, and others that make the W995a and its contemporaries an endangered species. Sony Ericsson seems to understand that this phone is for a very unique, very hardcore group of people but they’ve also got to take to heart that the real action going forward is going to be up in the trails being blazed by the Satio and the Aino, and we’d be thrilled to see similar efforts to bring those kinds of models to the US.
