:con?
Was wondering if anyone has had either phone and could offer a comparison of the two? Ideally - has anyone had both at some point and would they mind enlightening me as to which one they were happiest with and why?
I've had an N95 since it was released in the UK and have never been 100% happy with it and am looking for an alternative (or - a good reason other than the camera / GPS as to why I should stick with it).Mainly - the battery life is poop - 1 hour using the WLAN / internet radio and it was dead... Have considered a TyTN II but that's a bit of a brick too and have been put off by the driver issues.
Ta muchly.
If your only quibble is the battery performance get an N95-8GB
The W960i looks like a pretty good phone but falls short in many areas that the N95 doesnt.
Check out the reviews on the web for both phones and there will be a clear winner
Depends on you.
Will you miss GPS?
Will you miss the better camera?
Do you like touchscreens more?
Answers to those questions would probably make your decision for you.
Realistically, the only thing the W960 does better is it's media player, and even then, the difference isn't that great.
The N95 8GB has better camera, GPS, HSDPA and more applications available for it.
It's let down by battery life only really.
Or, get the N82.
Much improved batterylife I hear, while retaining practically all of the functions of the N95.
If your used to finding apps for the N95, you will really be stuck for the SE.
If it's anything like the SE P1 I would stay well clear, since it seems UIQ development takes a back seat to the S60 Platform now days for many developers. A lot of ''Must have apps'' seem to appear on s60 first and then trickle down to it's sibling UIQ3. On a side note it appears Sony Ericsson have it's user base on a technological drip waiting for the next gimmick and fashion accessory to come out gone are the days of the mighty SE P900 imo.
I have to agree with madflex my previous phone , now my second phone is my trusty p910i. software wise you have far more choice on s60 than uiq
U know what...
I've found my n95 8gb too losuy for me to keep... too many problems...
I've decided to ditch it and go back to SE !
(leave technology to the Japs)
got rid of my N95 and got the W960i... personally i find it better
maybe im just lucky or got good phone but the only annoyance I would say i have against mine is the battery life ,yet I did my research and was aware of this so I knew of this before I brought phone. I have had my phone for about 9 months with no probs so I really have no complaints about it
To be honest after the v20 firmware upgrade on the N95 everything just works as it should got the beast piping lossless music, pictures and h264 video strait into xbox XBMC and PC via UPnP and SAMBA at strategic family locations and got the phone doing stuff mobiles weren't supposed to do. If you think about it the motivation it gives to developers to come up with ways to exploit the N95's hidden potential is crazy compared to where we were just a year ago to this day I think if we relax are fanboyism towards brands and take a step back we will find that the Nokia N95 isn't trendsetting at all, it's one of many landmarks in mobile technology.

Totally agree!
A truely groundbreaking piece of communications technology.
I can't see anything even on the horizon that comes close to getting me to consider a change!
