Sony Ericsson W995a skips past on its way to the US

General

A little over a week ago the Sony Ericsson W995, affectionately known as the Hikaru, was revealed to have made it’s way through the FCC screening process. We knew the US-bound W995a couldn’t be far behind and sure enough, here she is. As is customary with Sony Ericsson handsets that actually find their way to North America, the “a” model is identical to the standard version but it brings WCDMA 850/1900 MHz to the table as well. Mmm, 3G. Specswise, we’re still looking at an 8.1 megapixel camera, 8GB of internal memory, 2.6-inch QVGA scratch-resistant screen, aGPS, Wi-Fi, stereo speakers, Walkman player 4.0 and dedicated media buttons. Will it get picked up? That remains to be seen but in the meantime, hit the jump for more FCC shots.

    I swear SE doesn’t understand the market. They seem to permanently stuck in the past with their boring numeric keypads

    The only phone for me. I cannot wait for this to hit US. I have big hands and touch screens suck. It is nice to see that someone is getting the BS out of hand-held devices. 3.5mm headphone jack, 8g built in, dedicated play pause btns, and killer 8.1mpx camera … now, which carrier will I have to bribe to pick this thing up?!

    Yech! Yet another phone that looks sweet in promo ads but looks horrid in real life. Most companies just DON’T get it.
