ello.. i might be a proud owner of a w850 (like u guys) in a couple of weeks time (still surveying the se w-series). in music sense, sound quality and satisfactiones can anynone give me stars out 10 ? (i listen to music wiht lots of drums and heavy bass like guitar sounds). so far w850 is on top pf my list. i thank u all.

new owner of w850i reporting:

bought date : 4 jan 2008
AP set TWT
Golden white
xternal memory 4gb sony
firmware : R1 JG001
price rm1035

hope to get the best outa this phone..

bought at The Mines, Seri Kembangan, friend of mine told me its an AP heaven. to be exact, level 2 the store name was eerm 'the mobile sales & services'.

greetings DFlo n every1..i think 4gb too big for a phone, i still not yet populate the whole 4gb. i think a nice 2 gb is just right la. anyway... is it advisable to use one of those plastic see thru casing/cover (some ppl call it crystal casing although its actually plastic!!) as to protect the phone frm scratch n all ?

thnx DFlo..i took of my crystal casing immediately.

to clarify:
1) disable 3g networks (only use gsm), does it extend batery life?
2) skinning, the plastic skin will eventually peel off (phone looks horrid in the process) will it not?
3) has anyone come up with 'optimal charge' message b4, whats the different compared to 'fully charge'?

people2 just where can i get those themes with those super nice flash menus (especially icons at bottom screen ones). i reallyx3 want that on my phone. or how can i enable my themes to have flash menus like that (on the video at pg19)...phewh glad i let it out, it is just cooool, just so jealous of that latin dude.

oh yea 1 more thing, my phone is R1JG001 so it means mine is CID 51, rite.. question is can i copy the .xml flash menu (originally .swf flash menu converted by XML sourcegenerator) to my phone using the phoneXS sware? i undersatand that i need to do this to mod my themes to have flash menu.. i really appreciate any replies.

thnx DFlo...i tried..but i fail, spent the whole thaipusam day on dis but still fail, what i get when i connecting phone to xs++ was dis:

17:51:47| XS++ v3.1 (Darwin) Ready !
17:51:47| Executed on Microsoft Windows XP
18:00:35|
18:00:35| Attempting to open the interface...
18:00:35|
18:00:35| TURN OFF PHONE!
18:00:35| Hold 'C' button on phone and connect phone NOW.
18:00:35| You have 30 seconds...
18:00:35|
18:01:06| Error: Cannot open phone communication port
18:01:08| Disconnected... Unplug the phone

i figure it could be a driver problem, so i installed everything on the pcsuite cd step by step.. i try connect to xs++ again..same thing happen. i said to myself..patience..it will be worthwhile.

Added on January 23, 2008, 7:09 pmBravo bravo bravo it works fine, LAVA works. thanx alot DFLO. so now for me to create my own flash menus to go with my desired themes (nice if its animated theme) is to use Tugzip sfware and the XML source generator, after that upload both .thm and . swf to my phone, correct me if i'm wrong.
