W950The W950 is an ultra-slim, ultra-stylish, Symbian v9.1 and UIQ 3.0 platform powered, UMTS-enabled device with 4GB of onboard storage complete with touch screen. Basically, it has all the features as previous announced M600, plus an integrated hard-drive and (as far as I’ve understand) better music player.

Sony Ericsson likes to emphasize the style of this phone. As their press release says – Its thin, sleek and compact form is finished in Mystic Purple, fingerprint-proof matt with orange accents. The purity of its design is strengthened by the keypad being flush with the surface, and orange backlighting that brings the music keys to life in a stunning, practical way.

Main Specifications:

  • Size: 106 x 54 x 15 mm (4.1 x 2.1 x .6 inches)
  • Weight: 112 g (4 oz)
  • Networks: GSM 900, GSM 1800, GSM 1900, UMTS
  • OS: Symbian 9.1 and UIQ 3.0
  • Memory: 4GB
  • Display: 262,144-color TFT, 240×320 pixel
  • Connectivity: Bluetooth 2.0, IrDa, UMTS modem, USB
  • Key features: Lot of memory, Slim and stylish design, Large touchscreen, E-mail on the go, Dual-function keyboard

To summarize: Another great phone, but where’s the camera and WiFi? And why M600 doesn’t have the 4GB hard-drive? Nevertheless, one of my personal favorites (I still prefer M600) and for more information visit W950 on Sony Ericsson site.

Also, check out the Nokia N91, another smartphone with 4GB of storage space.
