The Sony Ericsson W995 has a fairly standard design for a Sony Ericsson phone. A navigation array with circular keys sits below the navigation array.

Slide up the handset to show the keypad. We found it to be a little slippery during our brief test.

Sony Ericsson C903
The C903 is a rectangular slider phone. It also features a sharp display, but we were divided on the controls. Though the navigation array is relatively spacious, the keypad was somewhat cramped. The camera lens on the rear side has a sliding cover.
