The Sony Ericsson W995 is a slider-style mobile phone designed by Sony Ericsson as their flagship Walkman phone, previously known as codename "Hikaru". The W995 was introduced February 2009 and released on 4 June 2009 and uses the 4th version of the 'Walkman Player'. It is also the first Walkman phone to feature a standard 3.5 mm headset jack rather than requiring a FastPort connection. ^[4]

Features

It features an 8.1-megapixel camera, similar to that of the C905 model.

The W995 is available in three different colors which have been advertised as Progressive Black, Cosmic Silver and Energetic Red. It comes with an 8 GB memory card in its package.
