jologs: the same thing happened to me. I also had to wait for more than a month, but in their defense, the branch manager was very nice and polite. I think the problem lies in their head office where they do not process the unit right away, unless you follow-up endlessly. Well, at last I now got my unit and I'm pleased with it. But still, there is this weird bug when writing text messages: for example, if I want to write "O" the output in the text message oftentimes becomes "MN" instead of "O". The same happens also for the other keys on the keypad. Anyone with the same problem? The previous unit that I had exchanged at Wellcom showed the same bug, and when I filled-out the technical problem form at the support page of Asus, a representative from Asus (Bibi Wang) replied that there was no such bug. If there are others with this weird bug, please address this to them via their support page. This could trigger them to update the firmware and maybe add even the "0" key as the dedicated space key, instead of the joystick. These are the only 2 issues I have with this phone so far. I have come to accept the fact that the flash is not intended for long-range shots, but is rather limited only to very close shots.

The phone has internal memory for sms but I think it can only store for around 50sms so if you got a sim that can store another 50 sms, thats 100 in total.
Thats really cheap coming from telecom, all the talk about the convenience in using the warranty anytime, anybranch stuff. I better think twice before handling my unit to telecom next time. Thanks for the info Jologs.

How many messages can it store? Can the messages be stored in the memory card?

i forgot, K750i's joystick sucks!V80's joystick is a lot better, very manageable and will last longer than that of SE..

go for V80..bigger display, better speaker, fm recorder, 2.5 jack, phonebook search by initial (K750/W800 cant search names by initials that's y it's so hard to text someone from the phonebook)..

but, k750 has a better camera, brighter flash & a nice camera cover..

Yup a USB cable comes with the unit when you buy it plus a cd driver wherein you can use it to synchronize phone data with pc.

yeah, MMS/GPRS was never a problem..i ddnt even have to configure it..i guess nasa simcard din, im on globe G-Plan so naka-activate na tlga..i can browse wapsites w/o hassles..

yeah pre, i-demand mo na sa wellcom..i month is too much..the branch in glorietta was ok, they even gave me a 2.5 to 3.5 headset jack (yung sa nokia 5300)..now i can use any headphone of choice..

battery life is excellent..it lasts 4-5 days on average use..it beats any walkman phone in stand-by & music mode..

i bought 1gb miniSD..now i have 240 songs & it never slows down!!

Hello Yehrwin, well if you get your phone in brand new condition then I guess it would be ok. You can always return the unit anytime within the warranty period. Well I also could use MMS for this unit because of the "Network provider dont recognize the phone stuff". But that less than a problem to me, I dont use mms its expensive. I always connect to PC (and send it to friend via email) or send pics via bluetooth.

hi are there anyone out there who had tried to send or receive MMS with asus V80? pls let me know!! smart center did manually set the mms/gprs settings on the phone and it was also sent to the wellcom store, it already has the globe, smart settings on it, they said the real problem is it's the network provider which doesn't support the phone! i'm confuse and desperate.. it has nice features but won't send pics? i will not recommend this to anyone :(

Just bought one of these today at SM North cyberzone, MEMO EXPRESS @ 10,400 Php. Actually its my valentine's gift for my fiancee. I hope she likes it.. expansion storage is great upto 2gb memory. its like having a ipod nano 2gb version.

hello.. you can buy a small adaptor for 3.5mm jack type headphones from ace hardware...maybe this could be useful for some of you.
BTW, my phone is still with wellcom (For almost 1 month now), but yesterday they confirmed that my unit is finally at the southmall branch.. although I was really demanding and hoping for a full replacement. That should be only mandatory for such a defective unit as mine, don't you think?

great phone..i had no plan of buying this one ( i didn't even know it exists, never knew of 'asus' phones) until i saw this at wellcom..i bought it for its simple design & enough features..i had many phones before(N71, N73, K800,W550i,Z550, D720, etc) & i still have the touchscreen Samsung E890...i think this phone beats some of my old phones..it rivals W810i & nokia 6233..and i think asus wins in design & features..here's the summary :

no unnecessary buttons
great music player
great radio (can record songs unlike other phones & even uses the mp3's equalizer)
good camera (autofocus with flash, like W810i)
2.5 mm jack (though i wish a 3.5 one)
USB mass storage (no need for the CD)
display is readable is direct sunlight (better than W810i)
superb sound

Hello, for karen. I think you really need to go to shop where you brough you phone get configuration for MMS. i dont think you can get it automatically from globe or smart coz they dont recognize the phone. (coz Asus is quite unique). For Yehrwin, thanks for sharing the info, I also brough mine from wellcom. Ill be sure to think twice before surrendering my phone to them.
