Hey, I had 3 of these phones.. I loved it so much I kept taking it back thinking I was just unlucky. After 3 DOA phones I requested Vodafone to terminate my upgrade and give me my money back. Vodafone are always fantastic for stuff like that, so they did.. They also gave me a 6 month Ralph Magazine Subsciption!
My recommendation after my experience is not tto get this phone.

hallo all,
i have this phone for 2 months now.It works fine no problems.The only thing is that the speaker is at the back side of the phone so when it rings you can hear it very good unless if you put it upside down....SE mistake i think....

Hi I just bought this phone. When people call me it echos at their phone. So much so that it is driving everyone nuts. I turned off 3G and I turned off USB charging. Any ideas? Or should I just return it?
Thanks.

Hello!
I am very pleased with this phone.
A little problem:
I want to erase the games demos but they are protected.
Can anyone tell me how to erase the games demos?
Thank you,
Alex

You're absolutely right about usb charging. I got confused it actually can be disabled from the service menu, like someone described below.
Directly after pressing > * < < * < * choose the "Service settings" option, and there's a setting that sais "chargin on" or "charging off". That's the one.
Sorry about the confusion.

To turn "usb charger" off. Just go to the secret menu:
»*««*«* (» means joystick movment to that side)!
Good Luck

This is a responce to a email below. Yes I have tried turning off 3G network as noted in another Post. The phone still echo's. (Not all the time just some times) When this happens the person at the other end of the phone basicly cant hear themselves. Now unfortunatly as you state, "dont buy it" I obviously already have, so after 3 DOA phones in 1 week I am more than entitled to complain. As mentioned I love the phone, but the Echo problem is not the only problem ive had with my 3 phones.

You can turn usb charging off, of course - menu > settings > connectivity > USB > USB connection (must have the cable connected when you do this)
The manual sais it is recommended to fully charge the battery before the first use, yes.

hy, i just got this phone and i really like it, just one problem, anyone knows if i can stop it charging when i connect the usb cable? i'm afraid this might shorten the battery life.and does the battery need to be formatted for 12 hours to reach its maximum efficiency?

I got this model couple of days ago.
For not-yet-owners:
- internal memory is 16 MB, not 10;
- battery is 900 mAh Li-polymer, not Li-ion;
- comes with 256 MB Memory Stick Micro (M2);
- camera actually sucks, visible artifacts probably dued to an exagerated noise removal internal processing;
- I have had problems with joystick, precisely left and right buttons, so badly calibrated didn't even work at times, so I had to unscrew the darned thing and re-calibrate joystick buttons manually (kinda' do-it-yourself but that's me, can't help it);
- comes with USB data cable, great interface, phone can be set to charge from USB port, etc. ;
- has a pretty good processor, very fast image processing (menu animation included);
- very neat Vodafone live demo;
- I love the 2 dedicated call buttons (answer/reject) I've really missed them since T68i I guess; very practical, don't have to stare at the screen when you get a call to see which softkey means "answer";
- slower address book scrolling speed, my former S700 did better even without a processor as fast as this one's; My guess is there's a bad programmer out there ;))
- not so intuitive dedicated play/stop button on left side, they could at least have added a playlist overview when pressing it;
- volume buttons (right side) finally do adjust volume from anywhere you are (menu, games, video etc.), that's great;
- very neat overall design, the diagonal stripes on the cover are pretty kewl, and back cover finally opens without you having to do some workout first;
- pretty good standby, so far.
I'll get back for any other issues.

We know that this is still a phone. However, SE already have phones with better music player and radio FM in W800 or W810i, SE also have better imaging camera with flash, 3.2 MP etc in K800. So my point is why SE don't put all of those best features in this mobile? Therefore, we don't have to buy a digital camera or an mp3 player. We can use this features all together in one mobile phone. Sounds great??
