Almost perfectly equipped mobile phone

Why I have gained this phone?
Came to me after 4 years Nokia 6230i crucially on:

- Halfway usable digital camera
- Useful organizer functions
- Music playback than any Bonus
- Very good workmanship
- Internet Access
- Overall good connectivity

Originally, I had been looking for a phone that would replace my old compact digicam also equal. Predestined would have been a SE phone the C-series. The vehicles of the W-series are indeed more specialized in the Walkman and music features.
I then discovered the W995 and read through reviews on several websites; and at the end it was clear that quintessential reports was: tips music phone with 8MP camera, but want their images in terms of quality or leave something.
The latter, I can confirm.
Well, by now everyone should actually have noticed that the number of available megapixel permit in no way a statement with respect to the image quality. First still the photographer takes the picture and not the camera - and secondly, it depends on the installed components on. Us what do you there because you expect in such a small device like a cell phone? Correctly. Not much.
But what you get in the case of the W995, was good enough for nice Clippers land at parties, for one or another memory on excursions etc pp
In the dark, the functionality can be desired, since there is no xenon flash, but only an LED as Bildaufheller. However, this works quite decent. And let's face it: somehow, the W in the name is justified also still.
The images ansich see in bright light quite useful in showing sometimes but very strong chromatic aberration and have a tendency to blur - caused by camera shake eist by the user, because the trigger must be pressed quite strongly.
The digital zoom should not prefer to use, which is profitable for nothing.
All in all, the built-Cam my pocket camera does not really replace, at least not in all areas - but a new compact camera, I still do not buy me. For this, the cell phone is now only once further serve.

The images are the way by default stored on the included 8 GB M2 memory card, which is also used for storing music and other things.
8 GB! Guys, this is a word! The first extends quite a while!
Either an average of about 2,500 songs or for no less than 2,000 to 3,000 photos. Really amazing!

I have to admit: the mobile phone has brought me back to listening to music on the go. The sound quality is superb and easy to operate. By pressing a button you can switch in Walkman mode, and can even play in advance of imported iTunes playlists. The supplied headphones are perfectly fine and even have enclosed several essays for different ear types.
Particularly impressive for me is that you can connect two pairs of headphones. One of the universal connector on the phone and even medium cinch at the top side. So two people can simultaneously enjoy music on the go, without having to share headphones.

The entire processing of the device leaves an excellent impression. Nothing rattles, does not vibrate, no squeaks, etc. also contributes to the metallic housing at. The design (as seen from above the phone acts sort of like an American muscle car) and the processing work excellently and leave you wanting more.
The buttons can be pressed very well, but have a final pressure point, which does not have to be a disadvantage but necessarily - apart from the camera times.

The display is - in my opinion - a good size, many a times, it is too small in an iPhone. This is a matter of taste. In any case, the resolution is excellent and the light sensor for automatic brightness control performed practical and reliable his service.

The menus are used to clear - some perhaps hiding a setting a bit too much.

I was particularly impressed personally connectivity with my MacBook from Apple. Using Bluetooth can be via an included plug-in for iSync the Mac Address Book sync with the contacts on the phone. - From a to me unknown reason, but 3 to 4 contacts were completely lost here, both on the MacBook, and on the phone ... dubious.
You can have direct access to iTunes and other libraries and synchronize them with the phone using the supplied data cable. Fabulous!
Apart from the usual mobile internet techniques you can also from home or a known access point via WLAN to the Internet. The browser is a little slow, but performs his duties reliably.

Pictures, videos and music player are incidentally also displayed cross when rotating the phone.
The memory card is large enough to look sometimes an MP4 movie on the go.

Practically, incidentally also the small metal clip on the back that allows to set up the phone so that more can see what precisely it happens - the speaker may in such a case, times are used, the squawk namely much better and clearer, as on so many other mobile phone.

Otherwise, a lot of useful and less useful programs and games are already installed, dealing a once for days and also bring something for the future.

In Organizer to all kinds of practical settings and programs cavort:
File manager, Alarm Settings (clock, etc.), video call, calendar, tasks, notes, Synch, timer, stopwatch, light, computer code memo ... fits.

All in all I can say now after less than a week that I have little reason to complain - only the camera could be better - but you can not (yet) have not all combined in a single device.
Ultimately, remains a thoroughly positive impression on a well-crafted device with many useful features, excellent connectivity, with superb sound quality and useful camera.
An absolute buy recommendation!
