i dunno about u guys.. but i hv seen pics frm the net and this forum taken by G900 and tat of my own.. and honestly.. its really not tat good..

if u guys really wanna compare.. take a look here

http://forum.lowyat.net/topic/711453/+1080

plenty of 3.2mp or even 2mp tat really makes the 5mp on the g900 a total shame.. and NO i am still comparing HP camera's obviosly not the commercial types.

i rather thy make it 3.2 and still b comparable rather thn 5mp.

jus IMO.

if u guys do a simple search off google.. plenty of consumers complaining about the camera on G900..

another issue.. the sms even whn u've read it. it still doesnt distinguish between an open sms nor a unread one.. if i hv like 20 in a day.. and i read in between.. i hv to scroll to find which one isnt familiar thn only know if i read tat or not..
old phones even can do tat.. geez wats SE thinking man..

Well, it's good to know that the cybershot branding actually means something tongue.gif

Yeah, I've noticed that bug with the messaging, but I'm the type who reads all messages when received, so I don't have any unread messages.
But its still a design flaw.

Well, you nailed it with that sentence. There are phones that are better, but this one is "decently capable" in all aspects...AND so small! smile.gif
(seriously, if it was big, it would suck...a bit)

This one is a bit faster than the P1i, am I right?
I only used a friend's P1i for a few hours, and this seems more responsive to me.

Both of you try re-installing the firmware.

Use the SEUS program, and when it says your phone is up to date, you will have an option to reinstall the firmware if you have problems.

ive tried search on the persian forums but couldnt find any. if someone can link me to a tutorial to reinstall firmware that would be a great help

First of all, CHARGE the phone's battery to 100%. You don't want it to turn off while updating.

Then follow the instructions given in the Sony Ericsson Update Service program (don't worry, its simple).
What you need is a computer with a USB port, the USB cable, a fast and reliable internet connection, and some time.

5800 is only RM1500??? shocking.gif !

I know you shouldn't buy phones (or anything) when it's just released, but with the G900 I couldn't resist. tongue.gif

I was coming to the same conclusion regarding the screen. How easy is it to replace. I have had a price to solve from 'mobile repair center in London of £34.95 + Postage there and back, but don't know whether that is to replace screen or not.

Would like to try the screen replacement if anyone knows of a place to get one from or is Ebay the place.

Gotta say thank you to all of you for all your help, never had a forum that replies soooo quick.
*
Well, if you can open the phone, replacing the screen is easy enough.
There's a video called G900 disassembly on youtube, you can check it out.

Getting the screen, however, is another problem tongue.gif

Here's a video showing how to open up a G900.

Don't worry you only need to remove the small camera cover.

shrug.

i still use keypad, imo still hard to beat, esp when in car. dark brown g900 is good looking no doubt. 3.2" 16M will eat ur battery alive, review said watcing movie is the utmost batt killer apps, bear tht in mind. personally, at home, i use stylus most of time to ensure no fingerprint so my G900 is pristine all the time lol. 5mp still sounds better in look, quality wont fall far behind, if not exceed. as most pdafon, camera wont shine at nightshot so dont expect the XM cam to conjure miracle. i dont use 3G, HSDPA, by the time its affordable/and comfortable to use em, id gotten myself a ultra super phone original then possibly half the price of all phones now lol.

Same here. I wasn't planning to buy a touchscreen phone at the beginning, but this one had a touchscreen AND a keypad and its as big as a normal feature phone.

5800 has a new OS, that's good, but now only Nokia seems to make new Symbian phones.
Sony Ericsson might make new ones, but it looks doubtful, especially since they joined the Open Handset Alliance (Android).

Maybe the rest of the world is moving on, but I NEED a keypad tongue.gif

SE joined Open Handset Alliance (Android)?? since when?? and what is Open Handset Alliance? might to explain a bit? i read through their website..quite confusing.. rclxub.gif
btw, i hope SE will change their port for charge and earphone..because it cause problem..use usb like X1 will be better...
once i use touch screen, i love touch screen very much and will not going back for non-touch screen phone..now SE new models seems not very attractive after X1..w595 and t700 although nice, but the video call just can let people see you, but you cannot see people because only 1 camera at the back..
is it possible SE will use symbian S60 to continue their symbian phone? or SE will do only WM and normal phone onwards? who knows??  sad.gif
*
Well, you might have heard of the mobile OS made by Google called Android. Currently there are only 3-4 phones with the Android OS, but its expected to increase greatly. SE has only joined it, but since they have joined it, they probably plan to release phones with that OS.

It is possible SE will continue with Symbian too...now S60 has parts of UIQ in it.

But anything I say is just speculation. Don't believe me tongue.gif

Yes, that, for me, is the main purpose of that camera sweat.gif


Added on January 6, 2009, 10:39 pmI think some people were expecting this to be a super phone when they bought it tongue.gif

hey im just wondering if there is a way to set auto profiles. for example...

i have meeting at 4pm-5pm. its in my calender. and so at 4pm my profile switches to silent. and when its 5pm. goes back to normal settings.

my old WM phone had this. i thought it was pretty useful. i mean i have no problems switching to silent. but i always forget to switch it back to normal doh.gif heheh.

is there anyway to do this? or application for this?
*
I think the SE T68i (it was an awesome phone! tongue.gif) had that timed profile feature. Hehe

Its surprising how many features we take for granted in the SE feature phones are simply not present in their UIQ phones. Seriously, what's up with that? (maybe they knew uiq was going to die)

i dunno about filling the memory and lagging because its kinda hard to fill up all the memory. unless you are planning to store tons of music or movies. software files are small so filling up all the memory is difficult. plus are you talking about the phone memory or memory stick?

1. about alarm. to my knowledge most smartphones dont have alarm when the phone is off.
2. battery will last 2-4 days. depending on usage.


Added on January 8, 2009, 5:06 pmheres dimensions for the phones. to me this is important. n72 is.... shocking.gif

106 x 49 x 13 mm = g900
111 × 52 × 14.5mm = 5800xm
109 X 53 X 21.8 Mm = n72
*
Wow, N72 is so fat blink.gif
No wonder, its based on the N70.

I've realized that the thinness of the phone is more important than the size. If its thin, it fits in your pocket better, instead of making a bulge.
In that respect the 5800 isn't so bad either (but no keypad).

hi guys...

after been reading and following this thread for a very long time.. finally.. got the handphone myself... and charging it now...hehehe...

just wanna ask.. shud I update the software or use it first?

really need ur advice and info from all the experience user here...

p/s: this is my 1st smartphone ever... been using W800 since it comes out on 2005
*
Charge it to 100% first.
Then update it. Always update first, because you'll lose all data on the phone (but the memory stick will remain the same).

Added on January 8, 2009, 9:09 pm

good choice! ^^

older phones most recommend to charge ~8hrs, newwer phones ppl claim charge 2-3hrs can d. well i charged ~5hrs mine then.

sigh....im still on the FW 825....rly lazy update....so worried, especially when now all is good....id rather watch heroes than risk complication thru 'improper' self update lol

enjoy ur phone.

anyway, i think the independent lock key on the side is just brilliant! love it , no need press 2 keys just to lock/unlock dono other phone got or not. no slide for me. not the kind of fancy guy, im more practical. n this is practical. infact, its safe to say the G900 is a highly practical gadget, , and the size, slurp, its like doin it raw jk. the xm, well....the xm is a phone that is good to be admired and amazed at (thts why this wkend i wan go mobileshop play the 5800xm lol)...if use...idk, cant live without keypads....yeah im tht old n stubbon

sry tonit abit high...tmr fri ...omg....stairway to heaven...

Yeah, I don't think I ever it the old way after using the side key for the first time.

hard to type sms. plus got no umphh when always touching the screen. hahah. but the problem wit G900 is that it looks like a normal phone and not a touch screen. so whenever i use normal phones i always pressing the screen. doh.gif trying to press the buttons. hahahah. this is downside of G900. hahah. it affects my perception of other phones.  sweat.gif

I do that all the time...especially for the soft keys, because that is one part of the touchscreen you absolutely have to use. doh.gif
