Dear GSMArena,

The designe of the phone looks nice but if you have +500 contacts, I don't suggest anyone should buy this PDA phone. G900 same as P900, the phone just doesn't connect PC even after you installed PC suite. If you lost you phone, you lost all your information because G900 can not do it back up work to your PC Outlook. I am just wondering all the software development department in Sony Ericsson is only paid for doing nothing. Otherwise, the PC suite should connect as good as windows mobile since everything nowaday should be simple as plug and play... user friendly, right?

Price will be less than 350 Euro (see http://www.idealo.de/preisverg...ricsson.html for example). Seems to be a good deal!

if it is 400 euro then SE deserves that huge profit loss in Q1

For those comparing with the Samsung G810: read that review too!
- Xenon flash? Sounds great, but irl very dissapointing
- Cool design? maybe but weighs twice as much
- Cool design again? The Samsung looks like a huuuuuuge brick
- Quality? Japanese/Swedish versys Korean? Place your bets!

If you ask me, the SE is for the Business men wanting more then a usual phone. The Samsung is for 13 year old girls, who want to show off on the playground...

G900 have nice features and more business-like design, unlike chineese-toy-like Nokia. Also Nokia has disarrange their menus in latest phones, looks like they try to do toy-for-all.
I was long time with Nokia smartphone, liked many features, but my next phone will be SE.

Big disappointment from this preview. The specs are great, but the execution is lacking. I've been with SE for a long time but, after the horribly plasticky W960 and now this half-arsed job, for my next phone it's looking like I'll jump ship to Samsung's G810

I have a hard time believing that the price will end up being €300. That price would make this phone (and the G700 even more so, providing the price is noticable lower) a great buy and something I would consider buying myself, even though I have a P1i from work.

Can anyone verify the price?

Can anyone verify if the music player included in this phone is the same as the music player found in w960? with the full screen visualizations and all?

just a little tip on the preview...

the sample video is recorded at 15.16fps only. why are you stating that it is 30fps...

the video shows good and bad things both:

good: the video stabilizer is doing so good that the reviewer made a mistake with the framerate!!!

bad: where is the 30fps video recording???

Does anyone have an idea in which month it will arrive? Q2 starts in april and I like this phone.
To compare this one with the N96 or N82 is like comparing a Ferrari with a Volkswagen car. The Ferrari is obviously better, but also costs at least twice as much...

As for the camera those of you that HAVE tested it should also know that the camera functions and quality are not finished yet..read the release notes that came with the sample. for the rest of you.. YOU really think SE would ship final products a full quarter before launch?...

I've seen the final product pics on this baby and it outperformes N82 easily!!

ahh just my $0.02

Cheers
