last time original bundled with a bluetooth headset, but now not anymore, just standard package.. icon_rolleyes.gif

yeah man. it sucks i bought mine with the bluetooth headset. so nice to be high tech finally, and then i lost it. :'( so sad man. hahahah. but luckily my bro in law gave me his old one. also SE ori. the one that loops around your ear. the mic ends up sitting below your ear lobe one. i think its ok. for those who wanna get it. i dont really recommend it though. the voice commands dont work well. im guessing its because of the mic locasi.

but overall decent. i like it cause i dont have to put the speaker into my ear. dunno if you know what i mean. with that. hahah. just a heads up on bluetooth headsets thats all. tongue.gif

Guys, can G900i create folder to store smses?
slare
been using this phone for a week and this is my review:

Plus :

1. User friendly - easy to sms except when to insert symbols such as @, !, ?...
2. Sticky Note - most useful
3. Got everything that i need - wifi, 3G...


Minus :

1. Wifi Internet connection seems to be disconnected every now and then
2. Battery life is very short - a couple of times drained out completely when i wake up
3. hanged a couple of times

Hopefully i can download a couple of programs which is more easier for me such as opera mobile (similar to computer version).. other thing now it cannot be detected by my laptop...why?


thats my review for now. Overall i like this phone very much maybe a couple of tune up will make my life better whistling.gif

Hi there newbie. Creating a new account just to post this?
Anyway thanks for the brief review of the phone.  notworthy.gif

Hahahaha yeah cause I don't see much photos here while most are complaining about it so maybe some photos would be nice.

Just want to share my opinion since I got my infos from this thread and the others as well before getting mine. Really helpful to know what other people have to say especially when you know nothing about phone like me. Lols.

the phone comes with opera mini meh? i dont think so. mine comes with a standard type opera. opera 8.65
opera mini is quite different. plus its not so resource demanding.
why you wanna have the same look as on the comp. theres a difference between 15"++ screen and 2"+ screen.
just set it to landscape mode i guess.

you have to paste it somewhere lah. then it will dissapear. just paste it then delete it again. or copy something else. does it bother you that much?

what do you mean contact inside sms? like when you forward an sms? when you forward something you can also edit the sms to be forwarded. if thats what you mean

paste number is when you copy a number from within an sms message. there is a copy option under 'more' i think. you gotta highlight the text. click more. then then editing. then there is a copy option.

if its like that then its probably your wifi. how is the signal strength displayed on the phone? mine sometimes 2 out of 4 bars still have no connection problems. i think it probably is your phone. try to update your firmware and see if the problem persists.

also....my g900 came with opera 8.65

like when you 'enable wifi' right. then the option comes up and you have to click 'scan' then it lists all the wifi networks in your area. they also have the strength bar there.

the tiang talipon one is your reception to maxis or whatever. that can be zero pun should be able to connect wifi.
if that is red and no colour then i think there is something wrong with your phone dude.

times square has the biggest service center i think...you have to cari in there somewhere. or just check out their website.
dani_irwan
No, I think the tiang telephone he's talking about is the wifi connection icon...it's red when you're connected a wifi network, gray when you're not. for me, i can connect to a website just fine. after that, if i'm idle for about a few minutes, then the tiang telepon will turn gray...but no problem! when i want to browse to a new webpage, the tiang telepon will turn red again, so it reconnects to the wifi network automatically when u come out of idle.
panda-man
ohhhh that tiang talipon. hahah. yeah. sorry.

yeah gray is normal when it is activated but not being used. and when it connects, it searches for wifi's to connect to. i use work and home so it searches in accordance to priority of your saved connections.

if the tiang talipon is red, and there is the blinking globe next to it. should be working fine.
AskarPerang
Let's say if you are in an area without wifi connection.
Can you still connect to the internet using 3G or GRPS?
panda-man
Yes no problems there,

the phone is initially set to use 3g and GPRS. i think. if you want to JUST use gprs or JUST use 3G, you will have to set it under mobile settings.

go to:

settings>> connectivity >> mobile networks >> more>> GSM/3g Networks.

for me, the wifi icon will stay red if i connected to wifi, and when nothing to load, the earth icon will not blink...when i surf, the earth icon will start blinking.. tongue.gif

yeah... i can connect to wifi without any problems.. and yeah... no need to set anything actually.. just turn off yr wifi and start surfing.. it will surf using 3G service.. but IT"S VERY EXPENSIVE!!!
slare
now i know why. my phone is the one!!

the tiang talipon will turn red for less than a minute then suddenly will turn gray even if i'm still surfing. Now even worse-it cannot even detect a single network "no network found".

i dont know when it comes to hp my luck will run dry very fast. my story:

1. CSL M50 phone - got stolen ... this is a nice phone cry.gif
2. HTC P3400i - hate so much...sold less than a month vmad.gif
3. SE P1i - Hard fall - repair costing >RM350.00 (trade in with SE G900) mad.gif

erm well.. since this is a OS based phone.. so u cant really compare with those normal phones... it will be slower when u first open the application.. but if the applications are running in the memory.. it will be alot faster in opening the next time... it's just like computer.. startup/minimizing/maximazing...

BTW.. one thing i dun like abt dis phone is the message part.. it will blink a few times before u get to read the new sms..

opening up a new application is pretty slow. sometimes even the messaging. so you gotta really be patient until you get used to it.

sometimes it feels like the phone is stuck. tongue.gif gotta wait a while till it loads. if you are an sms freak. i think you should get a normal phone. you might be a bit annoyed.
