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]
