Sony Ericsson W995 video hands-on

So it's not totally clear to us why you'd wait for this thing over a C905 that you could buy today, but once again, that's the confusion behind Sony Ericsson's Cyber-shot / Walkman branding that they're claiming they hope to clear up going forward -- it's just that the W995 isn't really a step in that direction, and we weren't huge fans of the chicklet-sized nav keys up front. That being said, it seems like a fine phone overall -- the display looks crisp and vivid, the interface was relatively snappy, and there's little to complain about having an 8.1 megapixel autofocus cam at your disposal. Click on for a quick shot at the UI in action!

C905 you can buy right now - IF you live in europe. As far as I know, the C905a still isn't for sale!

Unfortunately the W995 is also launching with an "a" variant, and I love this phone but who knows when - or if - it will ever arrive :(

I beats me! Why is some people buyng these antiquated phones, with minuscule screens and keys, terrible UI, awful looks, and lacking most basic features of a modern phone?
They are not even cheap.
Even Apple's iPhone seems modern compared to SE lineup and it's cheaper too.
