i fell in luve so much with hikaru. and i really think i'm going to buy it.. moreover most review said the phone is worth buying.. and i believe them.. and some comments from the ppl in the forums, i dun think d phone is much of a troublesome.. haha..only the problem is my hp is still working and the reason to buy it isnt quite strong ... yet... and my money oso not quite there yet. haha..
u guys think, what time will hikaru's price going to drop aa? what is the current price now? i'm not kind the ppl that follows so much on gadgets..but looking at hikaru..i think she's worth buying... oh man.. hope i can buy the phone.. will it be in the market till next year? anybody can answer me..and to mr mode, i respect u la brother.. defended hikaru so much,showing out the best it it..

i want to buy hikaru... like the malay saying... tengah angau ni.... huhu... sjak bulan 8..

im curious. what is SE hikaru? is it somehow related to W995?

W995 is actually SE Hikaru.

I just check out the price yesterday and I found it to be RM1599 AP set and the Midland set is about RM16xx.

thanks... but i think it might be laggy right? huhu.. i just installed the pack by rodriguez, but then i changed it back to dfault one.. and lastly came with the flash wallpaper..

It wont lag

How is this compared to C905? I read from reviews that the camera is not up to par. What other reasons should deter me from getting C905 instead?

Thx!

@luigis0ka
You got your target, don't lose sight of it, W995 is a real pleasure to have

@knuckleballer
Hikaru was W995's pre-production codename, just like Idou before Satio

@C-Note
C905 has Xenon and a better cam sensor which makes it a better point and shoot cam. But if you look at some of my many photo samples a few pages back, W995 also has an excellent camera if you play with the cam settings. Review sites give poor ratings because 1. Some base their tests on pre-retail units which is different than retail ones 2. They can only be bothered to use full auto settings as a benchmark test for all phones whereby W995's potential lies in the manual settings. If tinkering with the settings is not your cup of tea then C905 is a better choice for you camera-wise. Media-wise it trumps C905 in video playback and of course audio clarity. Media plays fast and smooth, with a very responsive auto-rotate. The 3.5mm audio jack is really a welcome addition. The kickstand and stereo speakers enhance viewing pleasure. If you use GPS, the receiver is more powerful than C905 and locks your position within seconds. Ergonomically thin and nice to hold though I prefer the feel of C905 in this dept. And it's also worth mentioning unlike C905, W995 doesn't support TV-Out. Well, hope that helps

The difference between full auto and manual setting is vast as these photos show, and the low light shots can be quite delightful

yeah.. i heard about some keypad problems in c905 too.. u should buy this one.. worth buying.. good camera + best audio.. the 8MP + autofocus is enough..

Ya very expensive here. It was only at this place which I asked in PJ. The other places I haven't asked yet. I am still pondering whether to get the C905 or the W995.

Thanks for the heads-up. How much do they cost? Ori and Ap. What I really need are:

3.5mm audio jack
5mp or better cam
good audio and video playback without any lag
Wifi speed and performance
hassle-free SMS

ap around 1300 - 1400 depends on places..
ori around 1600.. some place still got 1800.. lame loo..

w995 suits your needs

I buy it here in Kajang Selangor an AP with 8gb only 1280!
Compare with my old and aging W810i which I used for 4 years!
It is really a masterpiece with a quite good camere and ok wifi for me.

How much was the Midland set that time you bought?

I read the review from GSMarena saying the volume rocker is a little too small for the ease of use. Any comment on that?

I've used smaller volume rocker comfortably. The comfort part is not due to the size but rather its position (similar to C902 near cam shutter button) which enhances photo taking but sacrifices music experience when you wanna control the volume, say, from your pocket since it's too crammed with the other buttons. Otherwise, no problemo for me

will there be any price drop next year Feb? CNY promotion lol

I did noticed that it's place at a rather odd place too. So it's not the size but rather the position la... Those guys in GSMarena only talked about the size. Any other feedbacks? I am really confused which one to take, C905 or this one. Both are great phones.
