Iphone Killer

Apple Iphone has launched the awaited Iphone last June. And now, an Iphone Killer will be launched in the Fall.

I've been so fascinated with gadgets that I am finding it so difficult in comparing phones and what phone model to buy. Particularly with the latest hit in the cell phone world. Apple Iphone. Yes it has been released and launched last June. Since I am from Asia and knowing that it will launch by 2008, I tried finding alternatives. And there it is..

Sony Ericsson W960i

  • 8 gb memory (phone memory)
  • Touch screen with Stylus
  • 3G capable 3.2 megapixel camera
  • Walkman Player
  • Bluetooth Stereo (A2DP)
  • TrackID (let's you track song names, singers,etc.)
  • Infrared
  • FM Radio
  • Photo Flash & Light
  • Video Recording
  • Opera Web browser
  • Usb 2.0PLUS
  • Wi:Fi!

This is definitely going to be an Iphone Killer when it launches by expected date of December 2007 and 2008 in Asia.

Setbacks of the Iphone are:

  1. Difficulty in typing
  2. Lack of stylus
  3. Not 3G
  4. Locked

In selecting either Sony Ericsson W960i and Apple Iphone. I'd go for the Iphone Killer.. I will definitely buy the Sony Ericsson W960i when it launches in Asia by 2008. It can easily be unlocked, more advantages than the Iphone because of its overall features. Not to mention that the Sony Ericsson W960i is lighter than the Iphone.

This is just to give some advices to my fellow Asians or those who haven't bought the Iphone yet. The Sony Ericsson W960i will definitely be a match or better than the Iphone.

I like your review.. Very informative.. I hope Sony Ericsson will release the unit as soon as possible. :) Before the Nokia comes out with their newest gadget.

*yawn*.. "launch by 2008?" By then Apple will have the next generation of iPhones out.

The W960i won't work with iTunes. It has a lousy web browser. It uses a crappy stylus. An "iPhone competitor" it might be. An "iPhone killer?" About as likely as Sony producing an "iPod killer."

Dream on buddy :)

I use Macintosh, and Safari is not the best browers I have to use Firefox for professional sites, Banks ect. and Camino for everything else. So Safari on an iPhone is the crappiest web browser, so I rather use Opera. Two, you don't need to use the stylus in order to use the operations, and as stylus is good if you're eating and need to work at the same time. iTunes is not the best music store in the world, it is the most popular, but that doesn't make it the best. I rather have my own tunes and use my own software to put into my phone.

There's an iPhone killer shipping now. Actually, it's been shipping for hundreds of years. It's called a "hammer"...
