Hi.

I have just got my new w995, and just found out, that Salling doesn't have it listed as supported... :-(

Is there another Sony Ericcson phone, that I can use instead that supports WIFI?

Or is support just around the corner? 'Cause I miss my Salling!

Give it a go anyway.

It says it doesn't support the N97 either, but using the N95 file it works anyway :p

Indeed. Set it up as if it was a W890, and you should be good to do. I do not anticipate any issues with this phone.

Best.

My problem is, that I would very much like to connect with WIFI if possible...

And w890 doesn't have WIFI...

Understood. Currently, the Java client does not support WiFi. Primarily, this is because JavaME (the type of Java available on phones) does not let us implement service discovery (mDNS/Bonjour). This means you'd need to enter the IP address of your computer in order to connect. So, I've decided to not make WiFi connectivity publicly available on these phones. This might change if there's significant interest in it being added.

Best.
