Till recently, Sony Ericsson had just one dedicated line up of Symbian smart phones – the P series. Unlike Nokia – who have not restricted their smart phones to any particular line up, Sony Ericsson smart phones were restricted to the P series that can boast of highly regarded mobile phone models like the Sony Ericsson P990i and more recently, the Sony Ericsson P1. The Sony Ericsson W950i is the company’s first smart phone to be a part of any other line up other than the P series. Infact, the Sony Ericsson W950i is the current leader of the famous Walkman series of music phone – at least till the launch of its upgraded version – the Sony Ericsson W960i.

The Sony Ericsson W950i is based on Symbian operating system and have a UIQ 3.0 like user interface applied. Built wise, the Sony Ericsson W950i resembles the Sony Ericsson M600i with their shell looking alike, but with a number of differences in their functions and specialties. Unlike the M600i, the Sony Ericsson W950i do not feature a QWERTY keypad, which is logical for a music centric Walkman phone. The PDA styled handset features a large, TFT based touchscreen that can produce more than 262k colours. The handset itself is coloured in Mystic purple.

Being the leader of such a prolific line up like the Walkman series, inclusion of the very best features of all Walkman phones in the Sony Ericsson W950i is obvious. Loaded with the latest Walkman media player v2.0, the Sony Ericsson W950i plays many popular media formats with amazing power and clarity. Bluetooth wireless stereo headset support, 3.5 mm audio jack adopter, a massive 4 GB internal memory pool – the Sony Ericsson W950i is designed for the most demanding mobile music enthusiast. The Sony Ericsson W950i boasts of Flash memory, unlike hard drive modules used in many other mobile phones with bigger memory size. This ensures that the Sony Ericsson W950i is devoid of any kind of lag time as seen in many other smart phones.
