We have told you about the awesome Sony Ericsson W902 so we thought now the Sony Ericsson W595 should get its turn.

The Sony Ericsson W595 Walkman phone is the second handset that has been revealed today, this mobile phone is a quad-band GSM handset with 3G plus HSDPA. The main features other than the 3G support include a 3 megapixel camera; the camera has NO autofocus which is a shame.

It has a 2.2-inch display with QVGA resolution, capable of showing up to 262K colors, the Sony Ericsson W595 music phone will come in different colours which are Cosmopolitan White, Jungle Grey, Active Blue and Lava Black.

    I really need to know when does w595 come out. i know it’s going to come out at Q4 of 2008, but i don’t know what is Q4. Please be a tad more specific. thank you.

  3. anita says:

    Today I went to buy the w580 but was told by the salesman to wait for the release of the new w595 in October because he says that it is the updated version and that hopefully Sony has addressed the flimsey keypad problems of the w580.

    With the imminent release of the w595, the price of the w580 is now relatively low (£69.95). So do I buy cheap now and stick with the devil I know or wait for the new unproven and undoubtably more expensive w595? More importantly can anyone assure me that the key pad will be more robust and will not break after just 2-3 months months?

  4. fjr says:

    Maine, Q4 mean = 4th quarter of 1 year
    Q1 = Jan,Feb,Mar
    Q2 = Apr,May,Jun
    Q3 = Jul,Aug,Sep
    Q4 = Oct,Nov,Dec
    so Q4 of 2008 mean = Oct/Nov/Dec 2008

    i like W595’s design and colour, hopefully the features nice like it’s design.. come soonest W595

    Read above. $129.95 at 3. BUT the Skype and mail on 3 feature is not working yet!! I work for three in the main office and it will be working in about 1-2 weeks. I love mine. The BT feature with my car stereo is great for music and hands free. Awesome phone.

  14. Mike says:

    Yes it does but it is not active just yet. All the software is already installed and it is in final stages of testing as is, Skype, email on 3. Email on 3 will be cool as once set up it will push your emails through to you like a text. So if you have gmail for example, or Yahoo mail it will send your emails right to your handset like a text.
    So far I am very impressed with the phone.

  15. zee says:

    At the risk of sounding cheeky… does the phone you have come unlocked when you got it on 3 as its quite new? I would really like to get this phone but know people who have had really bad experiences with 3, nothing against them. No one else has it on pay as you go in this colour! Thanks

  16. Mike says:

    Jungle grey is exclusive to 3. It’s funny because I wanted it in blue and went to another phone shop to see how I could get a blue one and then unlock it. No luck there as the unlock place wanted a minumum of £30 and said it could take a few days as the phone was so new…scraped that idea.

    Nah, it does not come unlocked from 3. I am new to the UK (from Canada) and am amazed how many cell phones there are in use here and so many networks….good luck.

    Oh, it has Windows Live Messenger….same as MSN? However there are a few features that are in the final stages of testing before the W595 will be able to run some applications…such as Skype, Email on 3 and Windows Live Messenger.

    Personally I think its wrong that all these features are advertised but not “yet” up and running. I am told about 1-2 weeks from head office.

    hi every 1 , today im so happy , i get to purchased sony ericsson W959 even though in the market not yet released but i order it from my hp shop , and finally get this phone by today …. this phone are awesome , the PRICE i get is RM 999.
    And this phone , the DISADVANTAGE on this phone is when we capture photo , it not really like K series got shake proved. so the photo got abit blur , and also when we zooming we have to select the mode to the VGA. The worst thing is the 3G only 1 side , which is you can view another party , but another party can view you , due to the camera only got 1 side though .

  20. ellise says:

    how much is lipstick pink one on o2 i love the phone and have went on the o2 store online and the sonnt ericsson one but just cant find it anywhere???

  23. jim says:

    hey i’m curious that if i buy this phone from a foreign country, like china, am i able to use it in canada by just putting the sim card in? or do i have to unlock the phone. Since i know most sony ericsson phones are manufacture in china, i’m hoping it does work in canada.

  25. Rachel says:

    I got this phone about 3 weeks ago.
    I love it!
    I got it on contract from 3, and i’ve been with 3 for quite a while now and i’ve had no bother with them.
    The Windows Live Messenger on it is good, and yes you can get facebook but it costs, can get bebo as well.
    The only problem is the camera, no flash! And the camera gets blurred easily…

  28. kek says:

    hi Rachel ,
    i fully agreed with the : The only problem is the camera, no flash! And the camera gets blurred easily…

    its not like Kseries ,for the cyber shot …. sigh…..
    im going to wait for sony erricsson C905 – 8.1 mega pixel though …

    by the way how u work on MSN in 595 ?

  29. ooohYeh says:

    heeeeeey;
    i am just wondering if u can stop the blurred pictures from happing ?
    does it realy matter if it dont have a flash?

    please get back to this email ASAP please thank you

    muchlyThankdd;x

  30. Mike says:

    I am a semi pro wedding photographer and would not reccomend using this camera for pro pictures…lol However as far as blur is concerned I have no issue with mine it actually takes pretty good pictures…just a tad soft around the edges. Make sure the lens is clean (this can give the illusions of blur). Most blur is from camera shake in low light conditions.

  34. sarah says:

    The Sony Ericsson W595 is a great phone, really useful and has loads of extra feaures that are not labelled on the tin…its a fantastic phone of great quality and if you lose it, you will be gutted.
    The camera is not of great quality but it is better thn some that have been used in phones pointlessly in the past.

  42. Dan says:

    Hi, i got this phone for christmasof my parents, but its now the 26th and i have discovered a problem with it.. you cant send sms’s, i’ve searched the phone and the only thing close enough is multimedia message, but it costs twice as more.

  44. Sarah says:

    The SMS’s on the W595 are easy to use, all you need to do is to go to the menu, messaging, write new and then select text message.
    The messages send really quick too and if you go into the settings on messages you can request a delivery report which will tell you if the reciever has recieved the message or not.

    Still a great phone

  45. Jay says:

    i have got this phone and it is amazing!! my advice is to get it on orange (dolphin) and then you get 300 free texts a month when you top up £10, 600 if £20 and unlimited if £30, you also get free access to facebook for a month whenever you top up any amount.

  46. Lizzie says:

    Im on my 2nd w595 and to say im disappointed is an understatment, first one lasted 2 months until the # (space key for texts) packed up, then gradually other keys started to freeze. On replacement and after all of one day, realised the screen is slightly “pissed” so to speak, so for texts they start off straight as you read through the line and get to the end it starts to verry off upwards, not just me and my dodgy eyesight!! have asked hubby and friends and all agree, screen is pissed, now having to return again and have the hassle of removing all my music just put on it once more. STEER CLEER !!!

  47. Pheebs says:

    Just got this phone for christmas, and i have to say, i am impressed. I have always loved sony ericssons but recently they all seem to break. This phone (so far at least!) has done everything it said it would do, is easy to use, and is great for music and photos. Its a nice shape, and looks good too. It fits well into the hand and the texting is good too. Got it with orange, they are selling it much cheaper than anywhere else, and its great. Deffo buy this phone!

  48. Firelord says:

    In Sony Ericsson’s site the application that allows you to try the W595 shows th camera to have flash…..is this true??All I did was to open the camera in the application, open settings and there it was…….auto flash ( On /Off)……………what does it mean??..

  49. Monkeydj says:

    I’ve now had my w595 for about one month and I’m not sure what the problem is but when I listen to music occassionaly the phone simply cuts off and resets itself! Does anybody have any ideas why and has anybody experienced the same?

  50. jay says:

    answer to monkeydj. You might have to update your phone mate, ring the sony ericsson customer support and the adviser will tell you the exact steps. Its easy and takes about 10-20 mins.

  51. amy says:

    just been looking on the sony ericsson’s website and it shows this phone in ‘peachy pink’ – had a look around and can’t find it on sale in that colour yet, any idea if and when this colour will be avaliable in the UK?

  52. zozzy says:

    I just got this phone and i kept my same number. The man said it would take 24hours to reset and work in my phone. Its now been 2 days and it still says inactive sim. Any suggestions?

  53. mike says:

    typical ericsson always freezes just cuts out all th tym 4 no reason crap just lyk th rest of them get a nokia!!!
    and dont even try for the c902 cause its a plain pile of cripe… had way too many problems to list and was on my 2nd handset within 2 days.

  61. Yolande says:

    Got the W595 last week, been happy with it up until last night, the screen suddenly froze part way through writing a sms, couldnt do a thing with the phone, couldnt even turn it off. had to fight my way to the battery as back is awkward to get off. took out battery & sim, left it a while then put it all back together, still no joy, only the backlight on the keys lit up. left it over night with out battery in and it is now working again, for now, t-mobile recommended taking it into store to be replaced, hassle i could do without 🙁

  62. james says:

    Yolande just to let you know that I bought the same phone three months ago and my hangs and turns off all the time but in my case it resets itself and comes on after about a minute. It mostly happens when I’m listening to music and it turns off at least once a day! My phone shop told me I could send it away to be fixed but it would take a least a month to come back to me! If it continues or gets worse I might consider it. Overall not impressed by this phone at all will not be buying a sony Ericcsson again!

  63. Roland says:

    hi dears,
    i would like to let you know about this handset recently got within the two last months i have never imagine that SONY ERICSSON would invent such a mobile.
    1-it turn off suddenly
    2-pads are not compatible with my fingers it always batch down
    3-i recommend no one to buy it nor to change the old one to 595 eric.

  66. krupa says:

    hi,
    i’ve heard many bad things about this phone. Is it true that the phone constantly freezes and the screen gets stained with ink from the inside??

  72. helen says:

    I’ve just found the pink one from T-Mobile Pay & Go at £88 and some goes to breast cancer awareness. Wonder how easily i could then get it unlocked to put my o2 sim in? How much for such a phone to be unlocked? £30???

  74. Tas says:

    I got this phone 2 months ago as a replacement for my v640i and I am v disappointed with it.I hate this phone and i haven’t used it much,maybe a week at most out of it before i stuffed it in drawer and went back to my v640i.

  75. Shaz says:

    heyy guys , i have had this phone
    for lets see six months now & i thinks it great
    . the key pad buttons suit me , although at times it
    can be slow but the set up and camera is very easy too use. im just waiting on mine to be fixed at the moment however as i sat on the screen. 🙂 x

  79. kendra says:

    Does anyone know how to make video calls so that the receiver can actually see the caller. I have tried and tried and can only manage to achieve this if I turn the phone round so that the screen is turned away HELP!

  81. Rico says:

    does any1have the problem that the phone doesnt play songs because it says insufficient memory (when there is 12 mb left) isit a fault in the phone in general or just in mine lol?

  82. Rico says:

    does any1have the problem that the phone doesnt play songs because it says memory full (when there is 12 mb left) isit a fault in the phone in general or just in mine lol?

  83. chris says:

    new upgrades in june of 2009,went for the w 595,two of them,both are now showing signs of faults.ie the flip front when in the open postion,im am loosing the use of all the push control buttons,as is happening to my sons as well,exactly the same problem,
    we have to close the flip front down then we are able to use the munu and such,any body no anything about this problem,no doubt when i take it into the 3 shop,i will be told its water damage as always.

  87. Allan says:

    Does anyone know how to deleted the recently used numbers for text messages? The option was easy on Nokia, but i can’t seem to find a way. I can delete call records but there must be a way, surely?

  88. dean says:

    just bought this phone from the warehouse for $399.99 which is not too expensive, but not cheap.

    havent opened it yet cause my mums giving it too me for chrstmas, but read the box and yes, it does have expandable memory.

    in the shop i was having at one on display, and was seeing how sturdy it was, and could feel alot of movement in the two pieces when slid open…is this a problem e.g does it break easy……

    this phone has a 3.2 mp cam, which i guess is good considering my brothers 600.00 motorola touch screen only has a 2 mp cam.
