      kishan kumar, 17 Jul 2010the set is awesome no doubt but there is some problem of usb port and improve the quality of t... moreDo not understand your concerns with the earphone... you must have a different piece from the ones we get here in Portugal... My earphone from this phone is absolutely superb! Best audio ever! Love it, its looks, the audio, the general quality, how it is easy to use, lightweighted and all.
      One thing which could be improved is stand-by time, compared with my other Sony Ericsson a K810i is smaller. Maybe because of a smaller capacity battery and more power consumption due to the two screens and the light effects?

                  The problem with Charging/USB socket is sth common for SE phones.when it gets dirty (or maybe because of Oxidation),you can use a small brush(like teeth brush) and a little alcohol to clean it.make sure all the pins are completely cleaned.
                  -----
                  now I have 2 questions:
                  when I want to use FM transmitter,i encounter an Error saying that I can't use it because of restriction of my region or sth like this.
                  I saw some Patch files ,but i think its hard to patch and unsafe .can anybody help me with another method?

                  2)anybody has found accelerometer Application and Games for Java ?

                        This is my third review/comment (I think). I sent my phone to SE service center for the reason that its USB/headset/charging port is not working good anymore. After fixing it with them for a month, I got my phone back again and it works like I got it as brand new. After 3 weeks of use now, I have same problem again but not so much like the first prob. This will go back to problem 1 soon again, too bad my 6 month warranty is done. They should change that charging port like that Nokia. Simple design but it works all the time. I am an SE user ever since but because of what I encountered with this phone, I guess its time to shift brand.

                        I have good hands-on experience on this when I am riding my bike and got hit with a heavy rain along the road, I didn't bother stopping (because a cold beer is
                        waiting for me and a friend hahah) so I got soak wet all
                        over. My wallet at the back pocket, underwear everything
                        including this phone are soaked. Worried that this won't work,
                        I hurriedly open it and, walllahhh!, its still
                        working. I am even texting under light showering
                        rain. I didn't even see moist inside the screen. I think this phone is splash resistance. heheh

                          The sound is very good, but the camera is awful.
                          I had problems with this phone, turns off, slow navigation...
                          I sent to sonyericsson authorise but the problem was'nt solved, but some weeks before it come back to normal ...
                          I bought it in september 2009...

                                BRAVIA phones will not be released world-wide. Those are for Japan, and for Japan only.

                                Sony Ericsson Japan is a completely different company compared to the Western world, a company simply using the 'Sony Ericsson' name for Sony's Japanese mobile phone market. Regardless, lets just say that a Japanese spec SE is released outside of Japan. Such a move won't really be viable because prices will be through the roof. Sure, those with deep pockets will buy them. But then, there ain't alot of such people, and those fitting into that category will most likely stick with Apple and their 'cool / fad' devices.

                                Either way I don't really care; you can get them off 'grey-markets' and get them working somewhat (no MMS, 3G, WAP etc etc, just GSM telephony) with HyperSim modules. If you are interested, I own the Sony Ericsson SO905iCS, SE Japan's docomo branded phone with a 5MP CMOS camera and 3x optical zoom (which is now about 2 years old). That set me back about US$400 at the time. And I doubt SE will find it economically viable to sell such high-end phones (which Japan is 99.99% of the time focused on unlike the Western market with low-end devices still being released).

                                ...Moving onto the W980
                                I found that I can get some decent performance increases by turning down the brightness down to 50%, and when in WALKMAN, disabling the auto-orientation setting. That does help with the lagging issues.
