I just bought this phone last october and I would say it is a phone with great features at lower price compared to nokia and SE of the same/near specs. Regarding the joystick and the rubber ball, fortunately for now, I have no problem with it. =]
Downside of it is the "bug" in text messaging where the letters got doubled instead of getting the right letter you want. I hope Asus got a firmware for fixing it the way they did to V66.
Just a question, is there a way where we can change the theme other than the ones they have? Seems like V80 only have 4 themes and we cant add no more.
More power to Asus!

It's a very good phone indeed. Have to admit that there are so called "bugs" for the text messaging and even what the other said for phonebook entries are all true. What is not true about the previous opinions that I have read is that he/she is claiming that we can't use mp3 as a messaging alert tone. i have mine obviously and I can use mp3 tones as a messaging alert.
Hmm..
I think it's because that I have upgraded my firmware. Try to do an upgrade for firmware bro and check. It has no downfall/s by the way.
I'll be missing my phone. I sent it out to repair the joystick and yeah the ball easily gets off. Just after a day of having the new case, it was lost! Case costs a thousand box..
Repair takes 3-4 weeks Wellcom! Come on.. You can do better than that?!

Hello Monica, there is indeed an error in the software. The double letters frequently appears and that so far the only most annoying aspect of this fone. Aside from that, im completely satisfied with this one given its cheaper price compared with others brands with the same feature.

Im planning to buy this phone but i got discouraged by the opinions. Its cheaper than the nokia brand of the same merit but almost everyone has a problem with the joystick & messaging (double letters). & is it true that you cant use mp3 tones as message alert tone? i was also planning to buy in Wellcom but it seems that there are lots of defective phone cases. Any suggestions where i can buy instead?

I like the design, but it lacks more features, like 3g,hsdpa,edge, hscsd. i hope asus can do more improvement on this unit.

In India, this phone is being sold under the brand / model of SPICE S-900. The calling & messaging features of this phone leaves something to be desired. One is that there is no feature to add a second number to an existing name in the phonebook. Second is the fonts do not automatically go to caps when it is in phonebook name entering mode, which it should essentially do, since all proper names should begin with caps. However, these are small features, but which were present in my previous phone, Sony Ericsson T230. Anyway, these lack of small features are to an extent, taken care of by the S/W (works only with MS Windows) provided with the phone, which is an excellent value addition. On the whole, it is an excellent value for money bluetooth enabled multimedia phone.

Hey Pam, if you want to enable your WAP.... go to your service provider (Smart, etc.) and let them activate your WAP for free.

how do we use the remote control profile for this phone? it supports but i dont know how to.
if a laptop has bluetooth in it, a phone can act as a remote control during presentation so one need not go to tha laptop each time. se has this profile and the remote control function is so easy to use. help!

If you want to save your word document just plug the unit to the PC while it is off , it will appear 2 options "USB Storage" like a flash disk or "COM Port" just select "USB storage" and check it in My Computer Icon it will appear an additional Drive just open it and save or paste your file..

DRM is where your secret album and videos are stored.
it cannot be used as a flash disk if you mean word documents or the like.
if you try to make your texts small, the one who will receive the msg will get small prints too (this is with other asus phones, havent tried sending it to other kiinds of phones though). under write msg, click on options then text format then text size.
overall, it is a durable phone. it can last 5 days when im not using the video, cam or music; 2-3 days if i am.
there are times when i set my alarm or phone on/off to a specified hour or days but it doesnt ring!

Durability isn't quite good, 1st, the little ball on the joystick will get off, then the "0" button will flip up, and then, between the "menu" and "phone book" button will break~!!! it's true, I just use it bout 4 months~! oither than that, the "DRM" memory really screwed me up~!!
