u've got a great deal dude

Some shots by the G900. Courtesy of davidsic.

if G900 can capture pic as nice as above, sure c902 can perform better....nway, price to performance, G900 better

It also depends on the user. If he/she knows how to take pictures, it'll certainly look nice. But if he/she thinks that having a 5mp camera will let them take great shots always, then they're wrong.

if AP with Asia region CDA, you certainly no problem to read/write chinese language


fuiyoo! very nice pictures there ya!!

but the fact here is my G900 couldn't read chinese sms so do for mp3 or software


looking forward for help

here u go, change/add on ur own language

Do update us what result you get ok?

why there is still some bad comments for the camera when i see good shots was taken by others...?

Perhaps it is user problem, not the phone problem

good one

maybe the cam is slightly complicated to use...

ah..........i still not enough money to buy it cos i spend most my money to build my gaming pc liao...sad
but i saving my money for next G series haha.

Bro, the list of languages doesn't include Simplified or Traditional Chinese. Does that means it doesn't support any Chinese language?

din't notice also my bad.. probably need to wait?

perhaps, change to APAC CDA is the only way

guys thinking of getting either G700 or G900 ? which wan have better price based on the features ? dont really need wifi...

those photos look good, but do u have any higher resolution photos?

higher res photos will make a better judgement

Unfortunately, I don't. I'll try to find some.

hey guys...G900 worth to get it?? i'm very hesitating in between G900 and N82...any suggestions, opinions or advices are all welcomed!!!! as the price for both of these 2 hp not much different, which 1 is worh to get??

Been to that page already. No chinese language support for download over there

anyway, Thx for help

It really depends on what you want out of a phone. Both models targets a specific consumer market that is different from each other; G900 positioned as a N-series equivalent, do-it-all multimedia device while the N82, although has similar objectives, extends its functionality to give you superior mobile imaging quality.

Both model uses different variations of the Symbian OS, G900 using UIQ touch interface while the N82 uses S60 platform. Between this two, I would have to say that S60 is pretty reliable and matured now. It has been proven many times to be ahead in terms of new developments and updates.

If you expect good pictures or like taking good pictures, N82 is no doubt the device to use. Also, if you're a internet junkie that relies much on its WIFI connection, N82 is the choice too. Although G900 also has it, N82 has a full blown Nokia Web Browser that is fast and efficient. Nothing comes close to it and it still ahead of the competition (except for iPhone's Safari browser).

However, if you like a balanced device from a slim form factor to comprehensive functionality, G900 is no doubt a smart choice especially if you like the touchscreen capabilities and the need to write scribble short notes. You can do this quickly in G900 while the N82 do not have this feature due to the lack of a touchscreen. Its not as fast as N82 but it does it pretty OK. I really like the Media Center Cross Bar UI and the multimedia capabilities.

Its a touch call but both is a good product. No matter which you choose, you'll be stuck with an excellent device which make you a smart customer no matter what.

thanx for ur reply ...haha.....is that means G900 is not really strong in wifi function if compare to N82? and can the wifi run smoothly on G900? if owas got problem wif the wifi, it is useless also....

i was needing a comprehensive review too. thanks davidmak for it

g900 wifi only support wifi b while n82 can support wifi b/g
so, if the wifi place has wifi g n support backward compatibility, then the g900 can connect la...
for me, normal browsing wifi b also quite ok, js certain place, dun hv backward compatibility function thus make it cannot connect...
in this case, n82 can connect better

my shots for the day



erm...well, i think it's standard





this one is a little bit dark

as i was focused on the board, other parts of the photo do look much more different, blur is what i mean

G900 wifi support b only or both b/g??..very confusing,,, all the spec on the net say b/g while some say b only....wat's the correct one??

hand shake?

follow SE spec sheet.. they couldnt possibly provide wrong info.. i think is b/g la.. not sure..

If got money for G900 then go for that.
Wifi when you have it then you realized is quite useful.

LOL

maybe

same prob wit me oso
N82 or G900

N82 for nice nice 5mpix cam with wifi b/g
G900 for ok ok 5mpix cam with touch screen UI


which site? SE site got say it's b/g?

SE Official white paper did state out its wifi B & G

http://developer.sonyericsson.com/site/glo..._phonespecs.jsp

whao

it is wifi G

the white paper is confirmed specs by SE lo.. wince it says support wifi b/g then better lor..

a/b/g doesn't matter for me, its ain't much different as still mobile phone's wifi, speed performance wise very dependent on CPU & display

i also seldom use wifi.. once on sure battery life drain like drink water..

Well actually G900 is by no means a slouch compared to the N82. The only down point is that its browser isn't as good as N82, the Nokia Web Browser which is based on webkit (Safari is also based on it too). The good news is Digia is working on a touch UI browser for UIQ by porting webkit from S60. Just this month it has released a public beta browser, Digia @Web. Try it out, I heard it is as good as the Nokia Web Browser. Don't expect perfection though because it is still in beta and have a lot to improve.



Any place with WiFi G will have backward compatibility to WiFi B as stated in the 802.11b/g standard. Both G and B operates on the same 2.4GHz band which makes it possible and also 802.11g has provisions for interoperability with 802.11b too. You'll only come to a problem when encountering a hotspot running on WiFi A which operates on 5GHz frequency band. However, WiFi A isn't the norm in Malaysia so I don't expect any problem with it.

Another disadvantage of WiFi B is it is not capable of running WPA (technically). You're only limited to WEP which is not as 'safe'. Like I said in the previous post, I don't think anyone of us would want to run encryption and decryption on a phone that has limited resources. If we want to run some mission critical application, it would be best operated on a standalone PC.




Yes, agreed. Its a gimmick folks. I don't think our ARM9 processors running 208MHz could sustain a file transfer from PC WIFI G let alone B, fast enough. It'll definitely slow down to a crawl and it'll be impossible to fill the whole pipe. The same goes for HSDPA (running on a phone).

However, when running as a modem it is on a different note. It'll be relying on its another baseband ARM9 processor. Basically the transceiver will be at work, not the application processor. Anyone studying DSP will know what I mean here. Dedicated DSPs are pretty strong and efficient. The reason application processor can't go as fast is due to the architecture, OS overhead, memory and other interfaces latencies.

SE G900 can have GPS function with external 'adapter'???

haha, my main concernt too... think so can kua...

Yes it does work with HGE-100, for bluetooth GPS will depend on Google maps/wayfinder whether they support BT

It is already working on my G900 now. UIQ version of the Garmin Mobile XT + Malsingmaps + Holux M-1000 BT GPS receiver. Have been using it for the past few days. The G900's transflective display is really useful here as it contrast and colors do not get washed out during day driving. Just as good as my N95. However, the G900's processing capabilities aren't as fast as the N95 so the updating/redrawing of the map isn't as responsive as N95's.

All I can say is, it is working as a full-fledged GPS application.

my bad..i forgot this is Symbian phone

Outdoor scene

looks nice when i switched off the IS

quality is nowhere near nokia's but it is still acceptable better than K850i which is a major disappointment, which not only attributed to the camera, but also to the buggy system and flawed design

whao...have not try k850i yet

sound bad....

just read at the comment in K850i thread, and u will know
just to list a few:

- camera problem (poor photo quality, some lighting issues, and some getting blank picture stuff, etc)
- fingerprint magnet
- dust could accumulate behind the protective lens
- cases of BROD

that's why the price been dropping fast, and i saw many K850i users already sold off their phones within few months of usage (some within few weeks or even days i heard)

what's the building that still under construction there...juz few month only suddenly a building pop out!!!!

who knows...

hoho

hey guys, interested in getting G900 since i've wait so long without getting P1i. What's the pros and cons of the phone? Camera and speed? Got jogdial or not?
