Thank you for the excelent review.

Just one question, that I have always had with SE phones;

Is the speaker on the back of the W960 phone strong enough to hear music / clips with out using the headphone.?

My P990 speaker is worthless. and always get jealous when listings to people using thier Nokia speakers.

Thanks

@naqi
You can access about 80-90 % of the phone features using the touch screen and about 60-70 % of the features using hardware keys only.

@Mozzer
Thanks W960 is the phone for you. The phone features are excellent and the music part is superior to all other phones out there.

Hi

Currently have the w850I and really like it. upgrade due on 14th feb Hand on heart what phone should i go for next? really like the look of this W960 but have been put off a little by the reviews. Basically want a decent phone/music player? like the fact you can burn Cds with the software? (can you with a N95?) i really dont know what to go for?

Sorry, perhaps I wasn’t clear – or perhaps I misunderstood the reply. When you say use the finger to navigate do you mean use the finger on the touch screen? or use the phones buttons/keypad?
I wanted to know whether most of the phone can be accessed using only the keypad and not the touch screen? Or what features of the phone have to be accessed via the touchscreen?

Thank you JohnnyTep!
Well, that really isn’t a mistake. It is not possible to use hand-writing in T9 mode – you have to turn off T9 and enable the multi-tap mode to get hand-writing enabled.

@naqi
Yes, it is possible to use e.g. your finger to navigate.

Hi,
Can the phone be used without having to use the stylus , i.e can i navigate the phones various features without having to use the touch screen and solely use only the keyapd?
Thanks

I enjoyed your review very much. It was honest, concise and very informative. I am, as of yesterday, a W960i user and enjoy it as much as you seem to! One small detail, you made an mistake: In T9 mode, you CAN toggle to the hand-written mode (which is kinda useless because the handwritten mode is kinda sketchy), you simply hold * and it will toggle between T9 and handwriting.

Nice review!

Does the W960 have a virtual QWERTY keyboard ?

It will work then

I’m not sure where you can find a review from someone in USA, but it will work with your provider.

Well, it’s not a quad-band GSM phone and it doesn’t have EDGE, so it’s not certain that you can use it in the USA.
