Hello, I'm planning to buy a new phone next month and this phone has caught my attention.
I want to know if it will be worth the price if ever I'm going to buy it.

What can you say about the:
a) camera
i. based on the corresponding megapixels, are the images clear/vivid enough?
ii. does it have flash?
iii. does it have video light?
iv. does it have a good shutter speed?
v. is the secondary camera able to render clear images?

b) speaker
i. does the speaker have good sound quality?
ii. is the sound clear?
iii. is it loud enough to be used for alarm?

c) media files supported
i. can it play flv, wmv, wav, mpga, avi files?

d) display
i. does it have an auto-rotate function?

e) internet connectivity
i. is the connection speed fast enough?

f) battery life
i. how long (in terms of # of days) is the average standby time after charging?

g) group SMS sending
i. does it have threaded view?
ii. what is the maximum # of recipients in a group SMS?

h) memory
i. what is the maximum # of messages that can be stored in the inbox?
ii. can you store messages in the memory card?


Your answers to the above questions will be greatly appreciated. Thank you for taking the time to read and answer. I hope you can help me decide wisely on this matter. :)

> In reply to sam @ 2009-10-29 04:21 from v3CYThe only lag I experience is when I switch on the phone. Other than that I did not notice any form of lagging. I still like the phone after 4 months of using it. I like the fact that I can have flash themes with flash menus on SE phones.

I have read in one of the reviews that the speaker's voice is not clear...is this true? Plz those who own the phone tell me if it is true or not.

i've been using this hp for 2months now, and i still love it, though it is a little slow at navigating the menu, but still it looks really 'smooth' like apple, n the cameras is great at daylight

> In reply to Kean @ 2009-10-26 02:00 from PDGuHi kean..
i mean slow in the sense when processing..like opening up a nearly full message inbox, navigating the menu, starting up..etc
i remember the article said its not recommended for heavy user...
i think i myself is just a moderate one..:)
my priority is a music phone actually...

> In reply to Kean @ 2009-10-26 02:05 from PDGuThank you Kean! I just don't like Google Maps and don't want to use it. Same with Facebook for Sony Ericsson (a pre-installed application that come in W508, T707), I don't like it. I know I can go for Sony Ericsson Z555i or W380i if I don't want those application. I just want to know, those application can be deleted or not.

Thank you!
