A great phone they say. And it looks it. It really does. Shame its faulted. The camera is far inferior to the one on my Nokia 5310 XpressMusic for a start. And there was an unusual software error when the phone slid closed where it DIDNT lock. In doing that, it ended up calling a friend of mine in the middle of school for AN HOUR, wasting 60 minutes of my 100 minute plan.

I have had the SE W595 for 2 months now and I think that it is a great phone, I like the design and think that it is a really good looking phone. I have had the same troubles as a few people with the number 1, 4 & 7 keys being brighter than the rest but apart from that I have no problems with it. I dont really use the walkman feature as I have an ipod but when I do the sound is great. Amazing phone!!!

The walkman music player is excellent, as it has fantastic sound quality. The camera is good in the right light, but it really needs a flash. The battery life is very good, but the battery cover is really hard to remove, and feels very fragile. Also the headphones that come with it are worth about 10p - they're very uncomfortable and produce a very tinny sound.

Great phone! The walkman music player has excellent sound quality and the shortcut button is very handy. Camera is good when the light is good, but a flash would be nice. The screen quality is excellent and it has a much more user friendly interface than older models. The battery life is also good. However the battery cover is very hard to remove and feels very fragile. Also the headphones that come with it are cheap and nasty, they're uncomfortable and the sound is appauling.

I have been looking for a new phone for quite a while now. I have chosen to get a sony walkman because most of my family have them and they all seem very good. I have been stuck choosing the w910i or this phone. My friend has this phone in pink and white and it seems great, she loves it! She says the camera is great, the music is fantastic and it is very stylish. I couldn't agree more. I have decided to buy this phone over the w910i because it gets much better reveiws and now reading about the 'firmwire' i feel much better that it will not do all of the things that the w910i has been seen to do! this phone is fantastic !!!

My search for a music phone eneded when i found this superb music player. The controls are easy to use and all things considered its a top notch phone. It has switched itself off a few times but so what? The battery life is nothing to be worried about..if it runs down - charge it up again..cmon people - lighten up! I have the blue version which looks smart. Lightweight and compact. Perfect.

Got this phone today, seems like a great phone.. Only flaw i can think of is the #1 key being brightest... loudspeaker is nice, It seems a bit louder than nokia 6300.. overall a great phone to buy for music lovers who don't care realli much about the camera (nt tht it's bad or anyfing) the camera is pretty decent for a walkman phone..Anyway , hope this helps CHEERIO!!!

Had this phone for a week now, my 3rd Sony Ericsson following on from the original walkman phone (w800) and the poor w850. I was after a 3g phone and bought this one on Orange pay as you go. IT IS EXCELLENT!!! The battery cover is no big deal I dont know what people are banging on about, unless your stupid it's straight forward. The shake control is a bit of a gimmick but you can also increase the volume by tilting your wrist up which is cool. The auto tilt is great for viewing pictures/internet/videos, if you turn the phone from portrait to landscape the screen changes too! One thing I wasn't expecting was to be able to watch tv on it. What an excellent feature. I've been watching sky sports on it all day it was amazing. Ok, your watching it on a small screen but Orange charge �5 for a month of sky sports 1, 2, 3 and sky sports news, plus others like at the races, sky news etc. You can sign up for loads of channels like bbc, itv, setanta etc etc. One thing I'm not sure about is the camera(?) on the front of the phone, even the guy I rang at Orange didn't know. I've read somewhere it might be a light sensor??? would be pleased if someone can let me know? All in all, excellent, affordable handset (�130 ish on pay as you go)

Only one criticism of this phone - you can't manually lock the keypad, without opening and closing the slide. Otherwise great. For anyone having trouble with Walk Mate - silly question but have you tried walking with it switched on? I found it only worked when I put it in my pocket and actually walked, and then it seemed to be very accurate. You can't fool it by tapping it or shaking it - it only responds to real walking movement.

i purchased this phone last week and as it stands, i worship it. brilliant graphics, sound quality and a wide range of features. cool themes such as splatta and comes with a 2gb memory card. it has a smooth sliding mechanism and doesn't feel uncomfortable in the hand. i thought all the small buttons on the front of the phone would be difficult to use, but as i've already had a sony ericsson they aren't bad at all. it's a very, very, very stylish phone; great look and comes in many different colours. however, looking through the dizzying splendour of the phone, the camera is a letdown. it lacks autofocus and flash and it's very blurry. apart from that it's terribly good. if it didn't have the minor camera fault this phone would've been nothing short of perfect. i'm currently on PAYG on orange and am very happy with this phone indeed. one happy customer! :)

I Looove this phone, I'm 15 and i think it has everything i need in a phone i got it a month ago and its goin on quite fine, i listen to music for houres per day and only charge it twice a week and its not even empty by then. i had the w300 before this, it lived for about a year and half before the screen went white,i love the themes and the motion sensor, I can't imagine a 40-year-old using it. lol. its very teenagerish but i feel all the SE phones lately are sorta made for the younger crowd.

i had to get this phone as my last one the w810i which i thought was excellent died on me, so how does this one compare to the w810i? well the most obvious being its a slide phone whereas the w810i is candy bar shaped so the w595 right away has a bigger screen. the keypad takes some getting used to as its flat rather than buttons that stick out so big people with big hands may find this tricky, saying that though mine are far from small and i manage fine. the music system is great and is a nice upgrade over my old system on the w810i, the earphones are still kinda rubbish (well to me) but a half decent pair can be had for a few quid. memory is bigger to with a 2gb memory card that came with it compared to the 512mb i got with the w810i. camera although its bigger than my old phone at 3.2 pixels compared to 2.0 pixels, its not something im that bothered with if i want to take photos i use a proper camera, or if its that important to you on a phone then get one of the older k series phones or the newer c series. battery life seems about the same as my old one i use it quite often for texts phone calls etc and it more than does the job. customization well both phones have this in spades but the w595 has just abit more with the ability to choose how large you want the clock on screen to the way the icons are displayed on the main menu. build quality well its about the same as my old phone the slide feels solid enough and the buttons give a nice click feel as you press them, the back panel that covers the battery and the sim does feel flimsy but how often do you need to get at them? could have done with being a slide off back i think. overall ive had no probs with it and think its a great successor to the w810i well for me anyhow. i suppose one downside is weight its quite heavy, but that is being abit picky, if you can overlook the weight (and it isnt hard) this a great phone

I read a comment here about the #1 key being brighter than the other. I also checked my unit and it's also the same. Is it a defect? or just really meant to be like that? This is my first SE phone. So far, I think its great. About the camera, I think this phone is on Walkman category so we cannot expect that it's very good because it's not cybershot. I also love the design compare to other nokia phones. It's very sleek and sophisticated but simple.

I got this phone yesterday on pay as you go for �120 - and its amazing. The features arent exactly a huge update from its previous models, but the sound quality is amazing (the best sound quality i've ever heard on a phone - and this is my 3rd sony erricson). The texting is easy with a decent keypad for once - unlike my old w580i. The talk volume is amazing - people can hear me really well and i can hear them - UNLIKE my old w580i. It even has good games - what more could you ask for in a phone? only draw back is the fact it dont have wifi - and im abit concerned about the battery as it seems to be draining really fast

I have just recently got the Sony Ericsson W595 on contract, free on Vodafone with 200 minutes and unlimited texts for �15 per month. Overall the phone is great, with an outstanding Walkman system as with all good SE phones and a good camera and video quality. The menus are also very easy to navigate and texts are easy to write too. However, the camera doesn't have a flash feature and the back cover is a bit difficult to remove/replace as it is a bit plasticky and flimsy, but hopefully it won't have to be used that much. Overall I'm happy with the phone, it's not to heavy and it looks great. Would definetely recommend.
