One of the Walkman Range by Sony, the W595 is excellent at what it is designed to be - a music store and playback system with 3G interconnectivity. Similar in appearance to the W910i - there are signs that the w595 is a much more reliable model - indications that Sony Ericsson has turned the corner in its production.
Specific models of the w595 allow for networks across the world, with the w595c catering for China Mainland and the w595a made especially to work in America. The standard w595 functions on 2G in the GSM 850 / 900 / 1800 and 1900 ranges, and in 3G on HSDPA 2100.
Released in September 2008, the Sony Ericsson W595 weighs in at 104g and measures 100 x 47 x 14mm - a nice slim line handset which fits almost any pocket or handbag.
It has 256 colours in its display, with a 240 x 320 pixel 2.2 inch display which allows easy viewing of pictures by means of the Accelerometer sensor - enabling rotation of the phone to swap between landscape and portrait format - viewing photos taken from different perspectives becomes a pleasure rather than a pain.
The camera is a 3.15 megapixel model - with images 2048 x 1536 pixels in size. It features video calling and QVGA quality video at 15 frames per second. There is no secondary camera.
Maximum battery life for this phone varies between 385 hours in 2G and 365 hours in 3G in standby, and a talk time of between 9 hours (2G) and 4 hours 30 mins (3G). It uses a standard Li-Ion battery.
The W595 comes with an internal memory of 40MB and 2GB Memory Stick Micro M2 card with the optional addition of up to 8GB for the card slot. It records up to 30 received, missed or deleted calls and stores up to 1000 x 20 fields with photo call.
In terms of connectivity - this phone has the following features: SMS, EMS, MMS and Email messaging, WAP 2.0/xHTML and HTML (NetFront) browser, StereoFM radio with RDS, Java, Games (with download) and comes in a range of colours, including grey, larva black, ruby black, white, blue, peachy pink and gold.
The W595 handles data by means of Class 10 GPRS and Edge, HSCSD, HSDPA 3.6 Mbps, and v2.0 Blue tooth. It does have a USB port, but does not have WLAN or an infra-red port.
Other capabilities includes MIDP 2.0 java, TRACKID music recognition, SensMe, Shake Control, T9, Walkman Player, Picture Editor, Organiser and Voice memo.
Shake Control is made possible by means of an activator button, and allows for track shuffling, forward, back, and volume up and down control. The phone controls are protected inside a vertical slide, with sound play buttons on the exterior face of the handset.
What we didn't like about it
It is chunky, the wasted bezel space on the front could be taken up by a larger screen, and the sharpish corners of the ends could have been more rounded to make for longer pocket-fabric life. It's appearance is unremarkable, but for the person who wishes for functionality rather than looks, it does the job.
The absence of a now industry standard 3.5mm jack frustrates those who wish to use larger headsets, however the phone does come with a stylish looking adaptor.
What we liked about this phone
The phone comes to life when it is switched on - the icons are a good size, and Sony Ericsson have maintained their established and familiar menu structures allowing ease of use.
This is a good traveler's phone, working on Quad-band GSM and 3.6Mbps HSDPA - allowing full use of the integrated YouTube application and mobile browsing.
As a medium priced (around £130 or free with some networks) sound-system with interconnectivity, this phone excels at its task.
