Really?? so those 3 white thingy are not touch sensitive buttons laa?? Another plus for me.. confirm will buy it this weekend.. bubye K850 .. ow one more thing.. can G900 use the SE external flash?? not sure about the name.. thanks guys.. will join the club soon

Hey guys..i'm planning getting this phone soon,so can you recommend me good shop(level & the name of the shop) at low yat that sell this phone coz i don't know what shop i can rely on...thx

Just do a search around level 1 and go for the best offer (good price and good accessories). Any shop will do but only get from reputable AP distributors (if you plan to go AP) or just make sure you're getting from the appropriate authorize distributor (if you plan to go original).

LOL! Just got myself a Dark Red G900 today, TS please at my name if there is a name list. I bought it in Lowyat shop called Mobile Arena, since they able to discount for me (but I think mine is display set). I bought it at RM1430 + RM20 (for a good screen protector worth RM30) + Sandisk M2 4GB card in Sri Comp at RM89. It is full package including original Bluetooth Headset, stereo headset and other cables. (**It's AP set**)

Ok, let me do a simple review of what I think of the phone after using for 8 Hours.

First of all, G900 supports G band for WIFI. My router is set for broadcasting only G band for very long time already and old laptop with only B band wifi card can't even connect my network, but G900 can connect it without any problem at all.

Ok, let's go to another point. If you're kind of person who's fast in navigating non-OS phone (means ur action is faster than the system respond), G900 will be disappoint you. The speed of G900 is average, not to say very fast but it doesn't hang (hard reset kind). When you're doing something that will affect the whole system, you will get urself a hang situation (but it actually doesn't hang, you just need to wait). Changing themes can be scary and slow. Overall speed is "so so".

About the camera, G900 was said to have the worst camera in 5MP cameraphone history. However, if the light condition is ok, this photo quality will be quite decent. Video recording in QVGA resolution (320x240) at 15 fps, if you're not moving too fast with the camera, the quality of the video can be decent as well. Speaker, loudness is cool but the speaker has best sound quality at 70 to 80% volume. G900 produces loudness at the same level with my w810i when w810i is 100%, G900 80%. Anything above 80% volume will causes noise.

Navigating is such a headache for new symbian user. Cause G900 allows you to view your media files in 2 diff way. One is thru File Manager (zooming picture can be painful) , one is the media manager. Media manager requires you to update the library everytime you modify your files. For people like me who too used to non symbian phone will be very confusing.

Quality and build of the phone is average, the houseing doesn't feel like a high end model. Keypad can be more solid and there are no touch sensitive button over the 3 white dot. Whenever you wanted to select the option above the 3 white dot, you need to touch the touch screen but not the white dots.

As for connectivity, bluetooth is at normal speed as all SE phones. WLAN is easy to connect and fast. But Opera browser doesn't performs good in non fit-to-screen mode. It's quite laggy for any website.

Oh ya, there are only 3 alarms available so if you want more you need to download other software for it.

Can't think of anything to write at the moment. But I have few questions, how can I make sure that the phone using only WIFI to surf net but not 3G? I not dare to activate my 3G first because of this.

And and... overall of this phone....is above average and it's pretty good if you compare the speed and touch screen responsive with P1i.

in your phone network selection, chose oni GSM. in this case you turn off 3G. Wifi hotspot are pretty easy to spot these days. No need 3G... unless you are unlimited data plan, paying for surfing on 3G will cost you a bomb not to mention 3G (I ma not refering to HSDPA) is all hype no substance. Its reali slow.

1430 is AP right ??

Thx man..umm...this may be going off topic but what stereo blutooth headset that are good for liseting music other than sony ericsson's ???..

erk, can Nokia BH-503 bluetooth headset produce a good & nice sound quality when using with G900?

A word of advise if you wanna use Bluetooth headset for music. Its not gonna last long. I got the SE HBH-DS220 a few days ago. The sound is alright but i gotta charge like every other day.

I am looking at getting HPM-82 or 90 for spare now. demn... this G900 is buring areal big hole in my pocket.

that BH-503 does look cool though...

There is a function where at standby the screen look like Microsoft Outlook today. showing the daily calendar entry, inbox, task and missed call. Goto Setting - Display - Standby Application and choose business.

Catch is the touch panel is missing instead you get a list of shortcut that can open and collapse. Not very cool i must say. I'll stay with the touch panel for now. I am not that a busy man that i need to look at my Today to remind me of my life.

and a small report of my G900 and my BT headset. Yest suddenly my G900 is not transfering any sound to my bluetooth. I gotta reset my ohone to make it work again. don't kno why but after a song, its al silence. The controls are all still working but oni no sound on my BT headset.

yup yup, it's AP. AP company from CS. 15 months warranty for phone, 12 months for LCD.

And one more thing, I've been putting the brightness to 30% but my G900 still suck alot of battery. Is it becoz the first time I charge wasn't fulfill the 8 hrs requirement? or is there such requirement? I think with medium usage the phone can't last for one whole day. Providing I always close all the programs in task manager after I've used it. Will it be improvement in future? if like that G900 battery really isn't good.

Its ok one. It'll take a few rounds before it can achieve optimum performance. On the other hand it all depends how extensively you use your phone.

Ic... thx davidmak for answering my question.

I found one solution for seperating 3G connection and WIFI for internet browsing. First, go to connection mgr then find internet account. Set ur 3G connection to one group and wifi AP for another group. And in setting, tick the show connection dialog. So whenever, you open the browser, it will prompt you which connection group to use for surfing internet. So it won't mixed up the 3G and WIFI connection. Coz i felt that not enabling 3G is not a good solution. ^^

i thought if u want a smartphone the N82 will be a better choice than G900...

anyway, any idea how much is the SE C902 ? (AP/ original)

You should ask that at the C902 thread, mate.
But I'm guessing for AP, it's around RM1400.

unless you do use 3G, enabling it drain yut batt faster. I am on Digi anyway... 3G not available anyway.

you may wanna turn off yur 3G. My 3G is off (me on Digi). If you look at the G900 spec on SE site, talk time on 3G is 1/3 of GSM time. My first charge last me abt 6 days. I did however do light charging when i connect to my laptop.

wah.... i didn't enable my 3G at all. But my battery can't last long. Seriously how to u make it 6 days? You didn't use for calling and sms? or did u turn off ur phone when you sleep?

Added on July 13, 2008, 3:01 amGuys, i've used Swiss Manager 1.6 to check my G900 system. And I realized that I have only 45mb ram free and after shutting down all user app and reclaim my memory I've only 57mb free. System said that 5 mb ram will be reserve meaning 123mb - 57mb = 66mb. So G900 system used 66mb to boot up? that's alot....

my phone is perpetually on standby mode oni i hardly make or receive any call. oh... i think i should clarify my 6-days batt situation. I am in SG now so my G900 is in roaming mode which i switch on for my family and wife to call. I got another local line. I do listen to mp3 woth blurtooth on while commuting.

switch off while sleeping
can save squeeze more time

I need the alarm. So maybe flight mode while I'm sleeping? I'm not sure this phone support auto switch on for alarm but it's kinda risky to do that, who knows it will hang during switch on (although it won't haha).
