This phone is terrible. I would not recommend this phone to anyone. I purchased this in October of 2008 and had to send it back to Sony for repair in June. They ended up sending me a brand new phone which stopped working in October and now they ar saying the 'new' phone they sent me had a warranty that expired in July. This is not a quality product and I would not recommend this phone is you are considering it. Save your money and purchase from a different company.

SE G900 is a messed up phone made by Sony Ericsson but this phone still have some good sides in it.

For support check out gsmarena forum http://www.gsmarena.com/forum/...60916#260916

I will also post on how to change icons on desktop and menu.

I really hate this SE!
Since the begining I was owner of Ericsson flagship models.
But is time to Give UP, all last models that I tried are disapointing. With my g900, a really miserable phone. With X1 that suck with its WinMO, there are no other choices! Will go for Black Berry!

This phone has a good keypad.
5MPixel which is high.
Not much of a walkman
More of a CYBERSHOT
TouchScreen
But its not like a 5mp
3MP is better somehow
I compared
Other than that
The Status bar disturbs you alot
and Makes you have problem with touch screen
For the left and right button on top
(The main) Next to the console
Is for notes and message
You cannot use it for yes or no
Or delete things
You must touch screen it
But my phone
The status bar is making problems
So I cannot do anything good.
I must call people back
I cannot answer
I cannot delete
I cannot send long messages
I cannot save and more
So if you suggest this phone
TAKE GOOD CARE OF THE TOUCH SCREEN

this phone is good but the problem is that is it laggy and for a 5mp its not always clear only sometimes and the key pad is nice easy to use and soft it also is touch screen the major problem is the TOUCH screen... the two main top buttons left and right is message button and notes once this phone has a probelm with touch screen the only button you can use is the middle ; means u cant do much. usually no matter what the left and right can be used.. this is ONLY for notes and msg noting u can use else so for like sending mesages or deleteing stuff you must only can use the touch screen.. since mine has problems cause of the STATUS BAR interuupting and has caused problems, my phone is no use.. i cant pick up people's call I HAVE to call back, cant send to long message, cant delete anything. i need a new phone~!

My advise to G900 owners: after you purchased the phone you must master reset the device... most of the problems would be gone! i had problems with camera and messaging and auto restarts.. but after master reset its fixed now! try it..

been a week now with this phone and i can say the following:
- restarts by itself
- once the battery died so i plugged the charger and i started the phone only to say that the folder is corrupt and i lost the info.
- the only 2 tracks that i saved on the phone were suddenly deleted automatically
- slow processor
- No! can't open youtube
- tested the battery under normal and below normal usage and gave me 44 hours (less than 2 days)
- touch focus never worked for me so far
