Pretty bored design. I wonder is it SE cutting down the budget of hiring new designer for their phone or the designer itself running out of idea.

GSM arena spec didn't state AF nor Xenon Flash for it.
So, I think don't expect much from this phone camera. |

at least this round, SE include EDGE support. If you do some research, most of the SE 3G powered phones doesn't include EDGE support only GPRS. Seems like they include it just to compete with Nokia. Nokia 3G powered phones has all include EDGE support, wonder why SE can't do so.

Actually, every brand has its own design pattern. If you guys have noticed, they are almost the same in a way. Some people (fan boys) have selective vision. Thus, bad mouthing incidents occur a lot.

Hi guys and gals
I'm about to change my phone and i'm considering this model. Is there any comments or feedbacks that you guys can provide for this model? As far as i heard, this phone often freezes and goes auto off...is that true? The reason why i'm aiming at this model is because i prefer a simple and decent phone...nothing much to demand for my new phone, just decent features and simple looking compared to my current n95 1g which i rarely use much of its features other than calls and texting messages and sometimes the camera function but in my experience, the camera quality totally cannot match with a normal digital camera. Really a waste to the n95 since i'm not a heavy user for that particular kind of model (n95) hope to hear from you guys soon. thanks This post has been edited by Wira Hikari: Aug 5 2009, 07:33 PM |

QUOTE(loong2020 @ Aug 21 2009, 02:10 PM) hey...wonder how long does it take to fully charged the battery for W890i???....i charge it since 11am left red warning(15%) and until now 2.10pm still charging (85%) I bought mine just this year. The battery works fine . To fully charge it takes about 2 hours plus minus .. i didnt really time it . But if charge from my lappie it takes double the time straight from the cable . how come it takes so long..... i though it says 2.5hours??Added on August 21, 2009, 6:26 pmfrom my past experiences though, when u charge the battery and it had take too long to fully charge it, yet fast low battery when u only have used it for less than a day , then thats a sign telling it u its time to get a new battery Added on August 21, 2009, 6:31 pm QUOTE(Wira Hikari @ Aug 5 2009, 07:31 PM) Hi guys and gals oh i thought I was the only one facing that problem! I just got mine like few months back but Ive noticed recently it just freeze all of a sudden at times and auto on and off once or twice . Its weird though . But no data lost la ... so i guess it shud be alright? I'm about to change my phone and i'm considering this model. Is there any comments or feedbacks that you guys can provide for this model? As far as i heard, this phone often freezes and goes auto off...is that true? The reason why i'm aiming at this model is because i prefer a simple and decent phone...nothing much to demand for my new phone, just decent features and simple looking compared to my current n95 1g which i rarely use much of its features other than calls and texting messages and sometimes the camera function but in my experience, the camera quality totally cannot match with a normal digital camera. Really a waste to the n95 since i'm not a heavy user for that particular kind of model (n95) hope to hear from you guys soon. thanks The camera I must say though this phone was specifically designed as a Walkman handphone , shocked me ! Love the camera . though its just a simple 3.2MP cam , the color beats most my fren's other expensive SE or Nokia phones. =) Apart from the problem ive mentioned above , so far , Im still loving this slim phone ! Added on August 21, 2009, 6:35 pmWorth considering ! Besides that , Ive heard that lately the price for this model has dropped so much ... below 600 can get d . Ori wan la .. If AP set lagi cheap lol .. 200 bux cheaper . about there . ( W890i is an obsolete model already if not mistaken , so colors are quite limited now ) This post has been edited by Brandorina: Aug 21 2009, 06:35 PM |

guys.. i need an opinion on buying another phone..
what to try an SE phone this time. been eyeing C510 for it's features and newer OS but i like the w890i's small body and design.. what im concerned with this model is i've read numerous people talking about the phone not ringing but can still play normal music/mp3s. why is this? |
