I had this W595 to replace my Samsung which developed a fault after six years of constant use. The phone is light and easy to use and has lots of good features especially the MP3 player. The battery life is exceptional. The only negative points are that it could be easier to slide open with one hand and putting a thumb grip at the screen lower edge would help and prevent excessive pressure being put on the screen. The other point is more worrying: it keeps switching itself off. This fault seems to effect Sony Ericsson phones because my son's C902 did exactly the same thing and had to go back for repair. My W595 has only switched off twice but it should not happen at all. My old Samsung never switched itself off and this defect makes me have no confidence in the thing. I need my phone for my business and I could easily miss a call when the phone 'goes to sleep' without me knowing, which is not very professional. This is a nice phone let down by a major fault and therefore I would avoid Sony Ericsson phones'.
