Sony Ericsson W890 - user opinions and reviews

Sony Ericsson

it's a compact phone with the Great Walkman inside.. don't really need the camera..coz it's a toy for a girl..
what i need is a compact phone with great music player..
why people always talk good bout nokia?
proud? thats your choice not mine..
u have wi fi? 5mp? n what else? that's what u want,not me..

what's the point u have in a 5mp cameras phone?

to shoot u'r self??
are u a gay or what??
(if u r a man..)

wifi??
there's a notebook,why do uneed to browse while there is note book? if an emergency,we can browse with HSDPA right?

jeez..
just don't bother our phone..
coz this is what we needed..not yours..

I actually have a V8 and those features are quite useful. However, and with the exception of the frequent missed calls/messages reminder, SE has those features but only in their smartphones/UIQ devices.

Otherwise, I can't complain much about my W890i.

I also have W610 and W890. W610 is a wwwwwwonderfull music phone, I don't like only the average camera resolution (170X220). Besides that, W890 lacks only in voice. In any voice, ringing phone, music... Some handsets are getting better with new firmware. Is it possible to do that with this phone or the loudspeaker just sucks?

one thing irks me about SE, as much as i love them. They have forgotten the basic telephony conveniences. Tese are the issues i have with my w890i, were also present on my w610i:

a) 30 items in call record, thats just pathetic!

b) does not record call duration in call records - is it really that hard? Motorola can do it (so it must be easy)

c)no decent notification of missed events - again Moto give you a beep every few minutes if u have a missed call or message that you havent checked

Somebody PLEASE wake up at SE - Remember this is a FONE first and foremost - give us nice FONE convenience please. BTW i'm not advocating we go out and but a moto, let them die quietly - BYE BYE MOTO.

i have this handset (3rd one now due to same fault) and it does tick all the right boxes for me but i have constant problems with reception, network is fine so is definately handset issue and all 3 have had same fault. swaying back towards nokia i'm afraid and i was a MASSIVE sony fan. just hope w902 is better.

> In reply to rei @ 2008-08-26 08:18 from PSvNG900 is better since it Touchscreen UI and Wi-Fi and a 5MP which is similar to one in the C902

C902 is good for its Camera only

G900 is better

> In reply to richard @ 2008-08-11 12:22 from ftb}Hi Richard, Snap I am actually on my 5th handset, so finally giving it up as a bad job.. The problems have been no H symbol displayed, 2) phone kept knocking itself on and off. 3) speaker problems, sound distorted after I took the antenna out. And I finally get one that seems to do the job, but can't send or receive picture messages .I'm with o2 by the way,It seems the settings aren't on the phone, no updated software as yet, so I'm getting the new w980. so what is your experience so far.

the speaker volume is waaay to low...I agree to the last anonymous,I got that phone like Birthday present, and buttons is to small, but other things is very nice, and design is fantastic(mine is silver one)

> In reply to Anonymous @ 2008-08-24 23:06 from M@T2How can you say that......

W910i is a slider and is similar.
T650i is old
W760i is a slider

W890i is a Walkan like W910i, has a nice slim body like T650i and is a Walkman like W760i......

W890i is perfect!
