links? i also can say i've seen a couple of new hp coming out next year in my dreams. links or what u are saying is utter BS

Woot! Finally got the phone. One word to describe it: Sweet

Thin, slides oh-so-easily (unlike the w850), feature packed. No for those wanting a cam phone though. No flash, no af. Kinda used to my 903sh so half press and don't realise that the photo's actually taken. Haha

But it can feel like a girl's phone coz after being so used to the bulk and mass of the 903, the w910 is a really light! And small! Battery seems to be pretty good too. It's down to 4% (lesser now) and I can play music while bt-ing songs from my 903 - and it's lasting for more than 15 minutes now.

How much do you bought it?

yo congratz

did you try out the SenseMe? wow it looks cool in the review i read!

and the 2.4" screen is the killerz too!

w910 got sumthing like a Wii technology right..? how to use that? review..~!!

Paid 20 quids for it on a 12 month contract. But phone is unlocked so I can use it when I get back to Malaysia

SenseMe as in the Playlist SenseMe or the motion thingy? If the former no but the latter yes. Kinda nifty. I just love it when the phone detects when I flip the phone to the horizontal or vertical. Cool!

Yes it does. But not for all applications. Will update that soon. Lemme go eat first. Haven't eaten yet leh...Hehe

No other users from the forum yet?

W910i touching malaysia edy kah?

i only see "coming soon"...

price, not sure yet either....

AP set got oredy ler.. its from HK set tho.. 2-3sets arriving tomolo with my k850..

K review as promised. Not so much of a review though. It's 747am here and I'm still somewhat groggy. Writing this while I'm making tuna sandwich

First Impression

When I first held the phone at carphonewarehouse (it's some shop selling phones here in UK), I was amazed - all that technology packed into something so light! Seeing as to how used I am to my 903sh, I find the weight of the w910 to be next to nothing. And it's really slim. Heck, it's so slim it can fit into the coin pocket of my jeans! Screen is wide with very good viewing angle. Buttons are placed where users would intuitively put their fingers to and the slider pushes very easily - unlike the w850 which could be hell when trying to open. The slide opens to reveal the keypad - nothing to shout about there. Some users might find trouble texting with it - more about that later. Overall, it gives a good first impression - the w910i is one hell of a sleek mobile.

Behold, the slider keypad

Since it's a slider (duh), the keypad is divided to two parts - the numeric keypad which is revealed by sliding the screen up and the navigational buttons one the top part of the phone (accessible even when the phone is closed). The latter is an ease to use and as mentioned, is placed where users would intuitively bring their fingers to to push the buttons. Being a Sharp user (with the occasional Nokia or two thrown in), I find transition between the phones to be seamless in terms of getting used to the keypad functions and the like. However, long time SE users would find a button missing - the back key. Instead of a dedicated back key, SE now uses the right soft key as the "back" key whilst in a menu. I assume this is to make the keypad arrangement more "eye friendly". The buttons are easy to press and responds immediately to presses. Now to the numeric keypad. Though the buttons aren't as small as the w580. I still find the keypad rather hard to use when texting (one could get used to this over time - perhaps, or perhaps not). This is especially so for those with big hands (like yours truly). The feedback of the keypad is not very good as well - I'd much rather my 903's keypad over this (though it's a flip, it has very good keypad response). Perhaps once I've had the phone longer I will adapt to it better. For now, texting on the phone isn't the most joyous of things to do. The backlight for the both the keypads is very well done - no leaking of light and it is evenly lit (no concentration of light on the center row). Illumination of the keypad allows for texting even in pitch darkness. Though one gripe about that is I can't seem to find the setting to control how long it stays illuminated.

Big display!

One thing I really appreciate about my 903 is the screen size. I hate phones with puny lcd sizes. Hurts my eyes to squint. And theres' just no viewing pleasure - not good since you'd be looking at your phone a lot. Thankfully, the w910 has a big ass screen that is capable of showing pictures in both potrait and landscape - just tilt the phone horizontal to get a landscape view. I haven't uploaded anything to my phone yet, so can't really say much - yet. What I can say is that you won't squint your eyes when reading text!

Camera on a walkman

For all the features, the 2MP with no AF and no flash is so yesterday. For those wanting a more balanced phone, the w810 would fit the bill better. True no 3G, but how often would the average joe use it anyway? That aside, the camera seems to be a bit of a let down - partially because I'm more used to my 903sh (admittedly, that's a tad bit unfair ) and both the w800/w810 and k800/k810. I haven't toyed with the camera all that much yet. Nothing spectacular to take and haven't the mood (too used to AF - Feels weird to shoot without focusing). I'll update once I've played more with the camera.

Walkman on steroids

The reason for the W denomination. Being the first slider/3G walkman (do correct me if I'm wrong), the w910 packs quite a punch in the walkman category. Being a walkman it can play virtually any files you throw at it (for the audiophiles - I haven't tried any lossless/flac files). The interface is beautiful (reminds me of the psp) and definitely beats those in the older versions (YMMV). Choosing tracks to play is made fun and intuitive by the SensMe feature where you pick your mood and she (yes my phone's a she) picks what to play. Unfortunately, it's not all that intuitive. You actually have to transfer songs and tag a mood to it via the pc suite. Seeing as to how lazy I am, I have not even installed the pc suite let on transfer "mood" songs to my phone.

The other cool feature making the w910 sho sweet is the Shake function. You could move the phone around to control 3 aspects of music playback - go to the next track, the previous track and shuffle. However, you still have to hold a button so it kinda makes holding it awkward - not hard to do but if SE had made it user changeable, it would have been almost perfect. As it is, hold down the walkman button and "shake" it to the left to skip a track backward, "shake" right for the next track and "shake it like a polaroid picture" to shuffle your playlist. Silly really, but fun

Oh and you can also put your screen to a horizontal to view your walkman in the landscape mode.

Video and picture viewing

Using the motion sensitive thingy, you could watch videos and look at pictures on landscape or potrait depending on how you hold the phone. Hold it upright, it will be in potrait and horizontal it would play in landscape. Nifty though sometimes it doesn't really detect it. I'd have to "shake" it a bit to get it to re-orient the screen. Watching videos is great fun in landscape. Gives you the "movie" feel. Haven't uploaded anything of note into the phone. Just a 3gp or two of silly clips. Makes watching it more fun. And you can watch in a group that way. Put it on a table or something Or you could snuggle up next to your other half and hug her/him while watching a video clip of silly things that you do together in each others arms, each holding one side of the phone (awwww SE could so use that for an ad )

I sense motion!

You can actually use the motion sensitivity of the phone for game play (not all). There's this marble game (i've played it on the ngage before) and it's fun to use tilt the phone to get the marble going. Though it can get frustrating sometimes Haven't downloaded other games using this feature yet, so I can't comment much.

Also of note is the wallpaper and icons in the menu (depending on theme used). It detects motion and the wallpaper has things moving around that would follow the motion of the phone. Tilt it left and the stuff goes left etc etc. Also when you're in the menu, the icons would move around (not by much) when you move your phone around. Nice little detail SE has put


Since I'm tired and have to get ready for class, I'll write sumore later (if there's demand). Hehe. Suffice to say the phone is fun to play with. I almost got the N95 but since at least 3 of my classmates has it, I opted for this phone instead

i c hk forum many w910 user give negative feedback , is really bad w910

u bought ur phone from carphonewarehouse..? nice store.. got cheap price ar..

It's a matter of opinion really. I would not be caught dead with a samsung but a lot would differ.

I'm using the phone and the only real gripe I have is the camera and the numeric keypad.

What negative comments did they have? Was it just a general bad or did they specify what it is they do not like?

Yeah. Got a so-so deal lor. Getting desperate for a phone line here and decided to just buy the phone. Besides, I fell in love with it the first time I saw it

It was either this or the cocoon...But decided to go with this instead. Wanted a slider

voice receiver is located at the back of the phone izzit

emmmm i think i fall in love with the W910i 2.4" QVGA large screen & flash theme!!

look at this!

yummy!!

add in more pictures

self poisoning

W910i says : "see see, my face screen is bigger than yours!"
K850i says : "duh..."


W910i says : i am the Asia Version of Sony Ericsson W42S!, wooohooo!!


W910i says : "woooo, i am S - L - I - M !!!"


again, source from mobile01

Pana jie, be preparred for great dissapointment in the camera department. If you're used to more camera oriented phones, the camera for this phone just down right sucks. For the casual user it's well above average, but for someone who's used to better, they could've come up with better.

But heck, this phone was meant for music listening not picture taking!

im still waiting for w960i out to decide.. which to get.. SE w910 functions i havent try b4 ler..

yeah that's also my dilemma, sigh sigh
