Sony Ericsson G900 - user opinions and reviews

wow, I'm having my first major problem with my set today.
it keeps on turning off by itself.
before it turns off, the screen turns dark, and I can't see anything, AT ALL...
the worst thing is I can't use the phone, obviously...
almost every time I try to turn it on, my phone dies again after I put in my phone lock code...
it hangs during the forming of the SE logo as well...
when I can turn it on, it lasts only for a few minutes, about 30 at the most before it starts to turn off again...
sometimes the contrast of the screen becomes a mess, it becomes extremely slow, and not long after it dies again...
I have no idea what happened...
it worked fine in the morning...
I'm going to send it to the SE guys tomorrow and I really hope that they can fix it...

I've had this phone 6 months and I REALLY HATE IT! The only reason i keep it is coz i've said so much evil against Nokia N series that if i bought one, my friends would never let me hear the end of it! SE has left a huge gaping hole in the market - such that I'm stuck with this piece of crap! There is no upgrade besides the Xperia - and the price difference with Xperia is too huge, this is poor marketing to leave such a massive hole in your product portfolio. Sad that they killed UIQ - the interface itself is great - it was just the poor hardware that let it down, particularly g900's lack of physical softkeys. That simple addition would have made this a stellar handset - together with a better cam. I may have to get an s60 samsung - but i equally dislike s60, UIQ is soooo much better.

G900 is a symbian phone and new series in 2008. I also dont know why the screen is so small can be used for touchscreen ah
Bad
1. Screen very small not suitable for touchscreen will easily touch other types of applications.
2. Camera is normal Function also normal

If the camera is not good...do take it to service centre. If they don't rectify it. Take the case to consumer forum. thats the best suggestion i have

Anonymous, 11 Jan 2009I agree with Philip. A gr8 fone. But, it's camera is a disappointment. Prolly da worst 5mp fone...This is the case with all SE phones though. The never compare to the Nokia cameras.
Overall though I think it's a great phone, and the cameras not TOO bad.

BopZ, 11 Jan 2009Yo, I tried, not bad... now I'm using it as my phone's own 'desktop' screen...!Well done, man. Did you download one of the ready made designs? You know, if the button doesn't work you can assign any program you have on your phone to it and change the icon. The optimal size of the icon in png format is 57x57. There are many icons available on the net, just change the size of it, save in the phone and use the in the design. The bigger image is, the bigger it shows on the phone. Browse the options and you'll find many interesting things. You know, there are some GDesk plugins, like clock (set the icon and assign a gdesk clock to it), shortcuts, task manager. In my last post i mentioned the website where are the available designs for download. The iphone is cool and my vista is good as well. Currently i'm using one of my own.

I just bought this phone today, great deal compared to the C902, I was torn that the C902 only had a 2" inch screen and the G900, almost exactly the same had a slightly larger screen 2.4" inch.
Upon testing it, I notice that the camera isn't truly a "5 Megapixel" camera, it feels as though it's 3.2 or lower. Functions? It's got lots and pretty good too. I wish the texting functions weren't so crammed up but other than that, overall this is a pretty good phone. Haven't had any malfunction issues yet and hopefulyl never will. For the price, I think it's a great deal but it's a shame the camera is terrible.

red, 09 Jan 2009hello kcostas..wats gdesk? GDesk is program which lets you make your own designs of the menu. Once you start it, it replaces your current menu view. It's not a theme! You can put your own icons anywhere on the display, adjust the icons size. Then you subscribe a program that will open when you press icons. Lets say messages, contacts, games, wifi, bluetooth, DivX Player, anywhere that is installed by you or preinstalled. You can put your own background ad menu pages. It's a full menu customization. It's a bit complicated to use from the begining but once you get used to it... First you need to hack your phone to have access to system file. It's not difficult. Google for capswitch.sis. It's free and easy to find. Install and its done. Then go to gdesk.wetpaint.com and get the rest of the info there. You can download the latest version of gdesk there. Enjoy like i do!
