Alright, I ownED this phone, with a Past Tense. I sold it yesterday.
I cost me RM1.7K to buy the ORI set and with the very FIRST week, as usual, I tried my best to convince myself about the LAGGINESS.
However, at the end of the week itself, I really couldn't stand with it anymore.
In addition to this, the plastics of the W910i is quite "thin", in which when we press a Key, for example, the C key, the surrounding plastics appears Noise as well. As I used to sms during the night before I sleep (and thus, very quiet) , I just couldn't stand the sound where I press ONE KEY, but several plastic sounds appear, especially the area surrounding the C key there.
Finally, I returned to the SE shop and ask for warranty claim service.

Waited for 1.5 weeks, it came back. BUT, the problem is still there. The plastic sound is getting noticeable and another 3 days using, I returned to the SE shop again. Well, the Boss was quite friendly, I told him all the problems I face and he Double-verified with another W910i and to be frank, I really felt comfort as the bugs are cross-phone problems. Alright then, I said, how about the looseness sound? The boss said can send back and tighten it.

Alright, another 1.5 weeks I waited and finally, my phone was back. And what is the next problem? The phone couldn't start at all~! Well, you may complaint its the Technician fault and I was too fed up with all the problems, I have never owned a slider before and this have given me a bad experience. So, I just sell it off, even I have to face RM600 loss. I don't want to look at my phone and I felt depressed with it. May be I am the very unfortunate one.

Just for sharing.

SenseME, Shake Control and Auto Landscape mode.... I was very attracted with these features but after really trying it:

SenseME: cumbersome process and slow for music treatment, I found that simply put in the songs into the Pendrive and load it to the phone is much faster and simpler.
Shake Control: Cool...but pressing next is much faster. Howver, amomg the 3 features, this is the most practical I felt.
AUto Landscape: Just a fun thing only...

maybe yr phone is juz some of the faulty 1 frm the early batch.the lag problem is ok for me,i can tolerate with it,since i'm nt the rushing type of ppl.Regarding the plastic sound around the c key,maybe its juz some unlucky faulty hardware.


Seems kinda serious too.lol

If u really like a phone,u will still like it no matter wat the problem was,like me juz my 2 cents,no offence

i heard that this phone has no flashlight.do they mean that you can;t use the phone as a standalone flashlight like k700 or there is not even a flash when you take a picture?then wouldn't the quality of pics in the dark be really bad?

No offence intended dude, but didn't you check out the phone before you bought it? I mean, didn't you hold the original/actual set and get a feel for the keys before you bought it?

When you counter-checked with another W910i set, did you encounter similar problems? Did such similar problems exist with W910i sets found in other shops? Maybe the sets in the shop where you bought from were from a poorer-quality batch? Maybe the shop itself wasn't reputable?

If the phone couldn't start after you got it back, then it's something wrong with the software. To be realistic, it had nothing to do with your original problem, and that was the loose plastic sound near the C key. It was your bad luck that you found a lousy technician to service your phone, or maybe, the shop that sold you the phone and sent your phone for servicing isn't as reputable as you thought.

With regards to the phone features, everyone goes ga-ga when they try out the features for the first time. After a few days of frequent trying-out, these new features tend to become old news. The same happens with any phone or any model.

With regards to SenseME, have you tried uploading your songs via the Media Manager supplied by SE? If the uploading speed is slow, maybe it has something to do with your computer? Cumbersome as it may be, it's a feature no other phone model can provide at this time. It's just an added feature. I'm sure you bought your W910i not solely for this feature, right?

Shake Control not convenient? Tell that to the W580i users. As with the SenseME function, it's just something extra. A gimmick if you will ...

Auto Landscape ...? Well, I kinda think that's kinda cool. Nothing fancy really, but just an extra feature of the phone.

It's unfortunate and sad that you didn't get to enjoy your W910i. Maybe if you had bought it from a different shop, maybe ... maybe things would have been different.

the cam of this phone dont have autofocus or even flash,so u shld nt even think of shooting in the dark The cam is for casual "play play" shooting oni,if you're up for serious shooting,dis is nt the phone for u.

If i want to buy the AP set, how can i check whether the set is compatible to update via SUES? i remember reading here we need to check it at the firmware menu to make sure about that. can someone clarify it for me? thanks.

early batch has some defect right? at the back of the set should have print about the manufacture date. So the set with what date can be considered good and not the early batch set. thanks again
