Comeks Strips is an application that lets you add speech bubbles and various comic-style additions to your camera photos. The comics you make can be then saved or sent via MMS. Making comics is fun and easy following the step-by-step wizard.

One of the most interesting applications that come preinstalled on the Sony Ericsson W595 is Music Mate 5. It consists of several music-centered mini applications, the first of which allows you to play music by shaking your phone. You can choose from a huge list of musical instruments for each direction.

Music Mate 5 also includes a Beatbox with quite a variety of beats. The application can also help you play the guitar or keyboard by demonstrating the proper finger positions for individual chords. Finally, Music Mate 5 includes a guitar tuner that can help you tune your guitar using the phone's microphone.

The Music Quiz is exactly what its name says - you have to name the title, artist, album or year of release of random tracks in your music library. Long story short: a part of a song is played each round and you have 5 to 30 seconds to guess.

Rock Bobblehead is a totally useless application allowing you to play bobblehead with an Elvis Presley doll using the built-in accelerometer.

The Sound Sensor catches the surrounding noise and shows it in a real-time graphical diagram - just like an equalizer or music-animated visualization.

The VoiceFX application records your voice and then allows you to apply different filters and effects to it before saving the new sound file to your phone.

The Walk Mate is a simple step counter application that works in background mode based on the built-in accelerometer.

And at the end we find the YouTube client, which gives you full access to clips and uploading, bookmarking favorites and so on. It's really nice and it's also tightly integrated into the Media center, so it's always on hand.

YouTube is a click away

By the way, the beta of the Java application is available for download over at the YouTube website.

Location services and knowing your way around

Available to download for free and compatible with a variety of mobile OS and Java-enabled handsets, Google Maps for Mobile comes preinstalled on the W995. With Location services you can get help finding your way, view information about your current location and save your favorite locations. To use all the features of Location services, internet access is a must.
