Sony Ericsson W995 was launched during May 2009.
Walkman plus Camera (Camera is a whopping 8.1 mega pixels) plus motion gaming plus Net browsing. And yes, it is all in one single device, which is nothing other than a phone. Whatever the Music Express junkies want, they will get it (and more) from the Sony Ericsson W995.
It leaves all those who own it - Is it a Cybershot? Is it a Walkman? Is it a phone? It’s all up to you to decide but this multi-tasking phone is able to manage to stride the fine line between being serious and being playful.
And if phones are all about music, movies (way-cool video quality plus a stand to rest the phone on) and photos (picture quality is better than most phones but not astounding considering the 8.1 mega pixels), then this new phone is definitely a “Mind-blowing- fantastic” and what not!
It is available in India for just Rs 26,786.

What to look for:-
Superb music features and sound quality. The interface is a much-improved one. There is 3.5 mm headphone jack as well as a wonderful GPS
Main disadvantages:
- Video recording limited to WQVGA

In short, this is something to those who are crazy about hi-end gadgets.
