for those who bought the ori set of SE G900 with free headset HBH-PV708, does it comes with a dedicated charger?  mine is only given the headset, not even casing, user guide, nothing. 

i read from the online guide there is suppose to include charger.  got the phone and headset from Atlantis.

Added on October 8, 2008, 11:56 amai-yaa, just checked, my hbh-pv708 does not support streaming music!  sad.gif

Nope, it doesn't come with the Bluetooth charger mine doesn't, BUT, you can just plug your hp charger and charge the Bluetooth. No problem at all.

yeah, original set just come with the bluetooth headset only..
want to ask, where to find the back up that made by PC Suite? if i want to manage the contacts in the phone, how can i do that? because before this, my contact 1 name got few contacts, but after put it in G900, it repeat the name for different number..

HI a Gee User,
I just got my G900 last 2 days.
AP SET. RM1200.
Upgrade firmware FOC by the seller into Chinese version.
slot in SANDISK M2 8gb ultra rm173.

Very smooth running.

This is my 3rd UIQ phone from SE.
Previously i own a P910i then to P990i (skip P1i for no T9) now using p990i & G900.

I 'm a Mobile phone heavy user. i oso use Window base phone before(o2 atom exec) but quiting any window based phone for some reason.

I do compare both phone i'm using now.

G900 i got with this firmware is stable. No restart for better performance. No laggy.

Sandisk 8Gb Ultra is lightweight without lag.smooth. Fast excess into folder in memory card.(recommend not to use M2 without ultra speed)

Sound quality cannot beat p990i.

Internet browsing is stable & smooth.
Can stream youtube smoothly.

build quality is not so good compare with p990i. must be very polite with this phone.

camera is good enuff for a OS base phone. Macro mode is very good to capture document detail with fine print.

no usb/charger docking system is a disappointment.
size & weight is good.

T9 is a must for a phone. (wanna try drive a car with joypad?)
is a one hand device rather than p1i is compulsory 2hand device.
p990i has double profile to switch from 1hand to 2 hand.
Wanna try reply an unavoidable SMS while driving or one hand carrying ur baby with OMNIA,Iphone,HTC tytnII???

video quality is good enuff at this range.

conclusion : Work practically as a mobile phone shud do. Strong reception is a must. SONY Ericsson has no doubt wif better reception signal. always has. Bonus is: Still user frendly organiser with visible fontsize.

I willing to help if anyone wanna have opinion on choosing the right phone for your right purpose. smile.gif

dissapointed these features/expectation on G900 not done well:

1) vibration is very weak, i was use to Nokia strong shake
2) cannot control key lock time, just too short lah
3) the free bluetooth headset cannot accept music, no charger somemore, such a bummer
4) fried my sim card when i try to check out Blackberry, why no fail-safe to prevent this?
5) hanged too many times - 5 times in two weeks.
6) battery drain too fast, standy okay, but when browse or call, ran flat fast.
7) camera is weak and slow response.

should have waited for Nokia 5800 instead. sad.gif

For G900 users, how many GB M2 card you all using? G900 really can support 8GB? sony ericsson website only written can support up to 4GB..

i am using a "8GB" M2 card now. does that mean i kena cheated??? from the computer screen i can see about 7GB plus (over 7X1024MB), which should be close to 8gB. u know lah, the way G and g differ.

anyway, my battery will last about 2 and half days with normal usage. if heavy web browsing, or calls, or multimedia, last a day to maybe two. think the phone may standby for 4 days or with two to three calls usage. see if the battery improve or not lah down the road.

my firmware is

1203-6566 R9M003
1200-5567 R1F02
1205-0647 R6J825
1210-0066 R4A

well, my main concern is that to prevent damaging my sim, and i want to have longer time for key lock.

still craving for the Nokia 5800. smile.gif


Added on October 9, 2008, 10:23 ammy brightness was set at 65% default as well. i just now changed to 50%. see how it goes

I noticed that too, but the sound from camera shutter? I don't think so, more like the sound of the lense.. But that's what I think

It's hard to tell the quality from the picture taken.
Can you take pics of scenary out far? With lots of colour?

So far I haven't seen a sharp picture taken through this phone sad.gif

Quite disappointing... Just compare with the k770i shots with the g900 shots also can notice the big difference...

g900 looks like it has wrong ISO settings or something... its always so "white"

Hello to all G900 users here.... i have a question here to ask on behalf of my brother... he is getting a G900 soon but he heard from his friend who is also a G900 user saying that whenever he answers his call, there are chances that his face will press onto the touch screen and functions available on the screen while he is on the answering call mode.... this can be quite frustrating for my bro's friend at times.... this is true? what are the feedback from the current users here? any advice since my bro is planning to get it on the coming monday..... thanks in advance everyone.... thank you
