G900i is cool. Wondering will be the camera quality as good as N95/N82
 G700i is just a 3.2MP phone with touch screen. I rather choose N73. |

the candy bar design looks like K610i...
G700i - 3.2MP but without AF, that is a little wasted. G900i - worth looking at This post has been edited by panasonic88: Feb 11 2008, 09:09 AM |

If not because of my friend asked me to join him for 'minum petang', I probably have W960i in my hand right now. It was pain enough to wait for W960i to arrive in Malaysia. But now it seems that I'll have to wait for God knows how long it will take for G900 to arrive.
^^ I'm thinking to buy G900 instead of W960i This post has been edited by Pogostik: Feb 11 2008, 12:07 PM |

I think the G series will be a Symbian UIQ phone with a D-pad while the P series will be the one with the scroll wheel.

G900 having quite complete features that could fullfill most of the current market's customers compare to X1 except for the outstanding design of X1 n HSDPA.... G900 is based on Symbian while X1 based on Windows Mobile.... |

the design looks old and dying. but maybe some consumer will still prefer these phone design, added with the stylus touch screen display.
btw, maybe these phones are designed to appeal conventional users. nokia also already introduced new phones with old look and feel on the design (but not the OS itself). maybe this kind of market is what SE is venturing into. This post has been edited by LaskarCinta: Apr 5 2008, 02:06 AM |

QUOTE The FCC has a lot of power. They determine what goodies are a-okay for the American market and which are probably not so nice. Thankfully for any Sony Ericsson fans in the audience, the FCC has given the go-ahead to the Sony Ericsson G700. That stamp of approval must feel pretty nice. As you may recall, the G700 comes equipped with a 2.4-inch touchscreen display, a 3.2 megapixel camera, and the ability to jot down notes right on the screen and save it on the digital sticky pad. The included stylus comes in pretty handy for this purpose. In terms of radios, you get tri-band GSM as well as single-band UMTS, though the latter was 2100MHz only the last time we heard. That might change for America-friendliness. Will the Sony Ericsson G700 arrive at AT&T or T-Mobile any time soon? Maybe. At least it has the FCC thing out of the way. http://www.mobilemag.com/content/100/340/C15077/  G700 available soonp/s: TS, G700 |

Sorry wanna ask a noobie question...... What does Symbian OS means? I only know it is a operating system but dunno what features it has. Does this phone supports those e-book files like those PDAs? What filetypes does the Document editors & readers in this phone supports?
I need to view e-book files like dictionaries and encyclopedias and stuff in the phone for my studies....but I have never owned a PDA or a smartphone so my knowledge is really limited. Tried searching info online but couldn't get an answer. =( Please anyone who knows can help enlighten me? Thanks lots lots!! =D |

I'm not sure about others, but I'm targeting this phone mainly because of its touchscreen, handwriting recognition and 5MP camera. Really hope that there is no major issue with the camera functionality.

IMO, better save rm500 for p1i. If u wan smartphone+5mpx+gps, i rather go for n82, better fork out rm300+ for n82 than g900. Just too overpriced..

I did consider to get N82, but I really need the touchscreen and handwriting recognition badly. Then just when I was about to get my hand on P1i, suddenly SE announced that the G900 is on the way with 5MP camera and wireless b/g. So now, the target is locked.

if u got the budget, just got for it. But SE 5mp camera is not on par with n82. I will just stick with p1i, no money change also lol. If i got rm1.5k, sure i will grab n82 becos of the built in GPS.

Yeah, I like the 5MP camera and xenon flash on N82 too. More over, it is now available in black color. I'm just not sure how convenient it is to edit documents and spreadsheets without a stylus.

i just got my g900 2 days back. am enjoying all the functions. u guys better get 1, or maybe wait for its own facelift model next year. pic quality is so good. not so hightech as the se cybershots but i can deal with it. res are high, white balance, image stabiliser, red eye reduction, photo fix, touch focus and the other basics. very decent 5.0, best 5.0 in the market now. other than that, sound quality is very acoustic touch, very good sharp. it is as loud as w550i or slightly softer...has huge list of equalizers, best of all mega bass.

» Click to show Spoiler - click again to hide... « looks much nicer in real life pictures! anyway, noticed the new box design of the G900. sets it apart from the current designs. looks more like Nokia's boxes now. |

I've just finished reading all the postings in esato forum on the SE G900 discussion. Not too bad based on the responses from the users on the camera function. Looks like the phone is not that bad at all to take pictures. Waiting to get mine soon...

but if u look at what the forummers posted, even under good lighting condition (e.g. in the shop), the photos somehow aren't as good as the esato's
and yeah, altho esato's photos are clear enough, but the colours fall short in comparison to nokia's i noticed that the same thing happened with their older cybershot models too (e.g. K810) |

After searching for quite some time, finally got the chance to see and touch the actual G900 phone in lowyat last Saturday. Nice phone and the d-pad and other buttons are easily accessible. Quoted price for the AP set was RM1,760 but managed to negotiate to RM1,5xx. Didn't get it yet because I'm still waiting for the ori set to be released and to do a price comparison first.

Didn't get it yet because I'm still waiting for the ori set to be released and to do a price comparison first. I already got my set last weekend. Got it at RM1480 (AP set) and the sales package is quite comprehensive. It includes a original SE bluetooth handsfree receiver. Be cautious that some traders remove this item from the sales package in order to give you a more competitive price. Manage to get screen protector and carrying case (3rd party) also. Although this is my first UIQ symbian phone, it is a joy to use. The D-pad makes it more intuitive than previous UIQ phones relying main only touch and jog dial. Added on June 16, 2008, 11:05 am I'm surprised that only wifi b is supported. It is stated in gsmarena that it is wifi b/g. Unfortunately, I can't find any wifi specs in the official se website. Anybody can help to confirm? It only supports WIFI B (as indicated at the box) and it does not have HSPDA/3.5G. Only the regular 3G speeds. But that is not important because I rely much on the WIFI capability. Get this G900 (be it AP or original) because it is really different. My first impression was that UIQ phones are laggy as indicated by many online sources. But after viewing youtube videos of this G900, its the other way round. Its smooth and speedy especially if you turn off transitions. The UI is very nice too! |

It includes a original SE bluetooth handsfree receiver. Be cautious that some traders remove this item from the sales package in order to give you a more competitive price. Manage to get screen protector and carrying case (3rd party) also. Although this is my first UIQ symbian phone, it is a joy to use. The D-pad makes it more intuitive than previous UIQ phones relying main only touch and jog dial. hmm..RM1480 with SE Bluetooth Hnadsfree sounds really worth it. mind to share with us where u got it? It only supports WIFI B (as indicated at the box) and it does not have HSPDA/3.5G. Only the regular 3G speeds. But that is not important because I rely much on the WIFI capability. Get this G900 (be it AP or original) because it is really different. My first impression was that UIQ phones are laggy as indicated by many online sources. But after viewing youtube videos of this G900, its the other way round. Its smooth and speedy especially if you turn off transitions. The UI is very nice too! |

Well, P1i is a good phone. But I heard a lot of about the lagging UI. But I guess its a good trade-off when compared with G700. I'll pick P1i in this situation.any suggestion? |

seaotter,
P1i perform snappier than G900 IHMO. i used p1i before i switched to e51... P1i is little snappy device. P1i with qwerty bi-directional keypad.. which i like it very much. G700.. just normal keypad... with much shorter stylus. accessories bundled, p1i beats G700 and G900. the cradle stand itself already worth the price you paid. G-Izzat, G900 and P1i... same WLAN card... just B.. no G. This post has been edited by amdx: Jun 16 2008, 06:22 PM |

QUOTE(seaotter @ Jun 16 2008, 05:39 PM) hows the camera between the G700 and the p1? Well, I don't own both the G700 and P1i so I am not in a position to tell. But I did demoed the P1i before at one of Sony Ericsson's stores. Initially the P1i is sluggish but once all the applications have been loaded in the memory (they don't really close the application when you exit, just minimized), its pretty smooth and snappy. the pricing? how's the keypads between them? i did say wifi is not important for me - featurewise is important. The same applies for G900 but I am quite sure that the applications and the OS has been optimized for G900 for faster operation. If you would read around Esato, many indicated the following possibility: 1. Slightly revamped application processor and OS optimization to use the 2D/3D hardware accelerator by PowerVM. or/both 2. Heavily optimized UIQ3 Symbian 9.1. I am inclined to support both because the OS has optimization for thumb/finger operation. You can use your finger throughout the whole UI. Also the transitions are smoother, etc. QUOTE(cyew86 @ Jun 16 2008, 06:50 PM) what's the difference between B and G? B and G is the shortname from the WLAN/WIFI standards derived from 802.11b and 802.11g. In short, WiFi B allows speeds up to 11Mbps while WiFi G allows speed up to 54Mbps with better coverage due to better radio modulation. WiFi B usually supports 128bit WEP while WiFi G allows better security using WPA, etc.we can still use this G900 to online in hotspots areas rite? In my opinion b or g, it is not important. The reason is because I don't see using security encryption sensible on a portable device with limited processing power and battery power. Also download speeds depends on the telco connection to the WiFi base station. If it is running on a 2Mbps ADSL/DSL/cable connection, do you think it'll flood your 11Mbps WiFi b? Do you honestly think with your UIQ 208MHz and its baseband processor able to sustain a continuous data streaming of 11/54Mbps up and down the link? As long as there's WLAN capability that allow me to do some simple IM, browsing and downloading, I'm satisfied. QUOTE(iRonTech @ Jun 16 2008, 08:12 PM) probably for power consume saving purpose Its probably a hardware limitation because it reuses a lot of the P1i/W950 hardware platform. Or it could be not supported by the current firmware. A lot of sources in the internet support the fact that G900 is using a slightly different hardware platform. So... just take it as a pinch of salt.  |

It also depends on the user. If he/she knows how to take pictures, it'll certainly look nice. But if he/she thinks that having a 5mp camera will let them take great shots always, then they're wrong.

It really depends on what you want out of a phone. Both models targets a specific consumer market that is different from each other; G900 positioned as a N-series equivalent, do-it-all multimedia device while the N82, although has similar objectives, extends its functionality to give you superior mobile imaging quality. Both model uses different variations of the Symbian OS, G900 using UIQ touch interface while the N82 uses S60 platform. Between this two, I would have to say that S60 is pretty reliable and matured now. It has been proven many times to be ahead in terms of new developments and updates. If you expect good pictures or like taking good pictures, N82 is no doubt the device to use. Also, if you're a internet junkie that relies much on its WIFI connection, N82 is the choice too. Although G900 also has it, N82 has a full blown Nokia Web Browser that is fast and efficient. Nothing comes close to it and it still ahead of the competition (except for iPhone's Safari browser). However, if you like a balanced device from a slim form factor to comprehensive functionality, G900 is no doubt a smart choice especially if you like the touchscreen capabilities and the need to write scribble short notes. You can do this quickly in G900 while the N82 do not have this feature due to the lack of a touchscreen. Its not as fast as N82 but it does it pretty OK. I really like the Media Center Cross Bar UI and the multimedia capabilities. Its a touch call but both is a good product. No matter which you choose, you'll be stuck with an excellent device which make you a smart customer no matter what. |

QUOTE(acwc @ Jun 19 2008, 11:27 PM) thanx for ur reply Well actually G900 is by no means a slouch compared to the N82. The only down point is that its browser isn't as good as N82, the Nokia Web Browser which is based on webkit (Safari is also based on it too). The good news is Digia is working on a touch UI browser for UIQ by porting webkit from S60. Just this month it has released a public beta browser, Digia @Web. Try it out, I heard it is as good as the Nokia Web Browser. Don't expect perfection though because it is still in beta and have a lot to improve. ...haha.....is that means G900 is not really strong in wifi function if compare to N82? and can the wifi run smoothly on G900? if owas got problem wif the wifi, it is useless also....QUOTE(squall_kay @ Jun 20 2008, 12:41 AM) g900 wifi only support wifi b while n82 can support wifi b/g Any place with WiFi G will have backward compatibility to WiFi B as stated in the 802.11b/g standard. Both G and B operates on the same 2.4GHz band which makes it possible and also 802.11g has provisions for interoperability with 802.11b too. You'll only come to a problem when encountering a hotspot running on WiFi A which operates on 5GHz frequency band. However, WiFi A isn't the norm in Malaysia so I don't expect any problem with it. so, if the wifi place has wifi g n support backward compatibility, then the g900 can connect la... for me, normal browsing wifi b also quite ok, js certain place, dun hv backward compatibility function thus make it cannot connect... in this case, n82 can connect better Another disadvantage of WiFi B is it is not capable of running WPA (technically). You're only limited to WEP which is not as 'safe'. Like I said in the previous post, I don't think anyone of us would want to run encryption and decryption on a phone that has limited resources. If we want to run some mission critical application, it would be best operated on a standalone PC. QUOTE(iRonTech @ Jun 20 2008, 02:24 PM) a/b/g doesn't matter for me, its ain't much different as still mobile phone's wifi, speed performance wise very dependent on CPU & display Yes, agreed. Its a gimmick folks. I don't think our ARM9 processors running 208MHz could sustain a file transfer from PC WIFI G let alone B, fast enough. It'll definitely slow down to a crawl and it'll be impossible to fill the whole pipe. The same goes for HSDPA (running on a phone). However, when running as a modem it is on a different note. It'll be relying on its another baseband ARM9 processor. Basically the transceiver will be at work, not the application processor. Anyone studying DSP will know what I mean here. Dedicated DSPs are pretty strong and efficient. The reason application processor can't go as fast is due to the architecture, OS overhead, memory and other interfaces latencies. |

UIQ version of the Garmin Mobile XT + Malsingmaps + Holux M-1000 BT GPS receiver. Have been using it for the past few days. The G900's transflective display is really useful here as it contrast and colors do not get washed out during day driving. Just as good as my N95. However, the G900's processing capabilities aren't as fast as the N95 so the updating/redrawing of the map isn't as responsive as N95's.All I can say is, it is working as a full-fledged GPS application. |

QUOTE(Jeffery @ Jun 21 2008, 11:20 PM) any major problem about the phone? Coz i'm seriously going to get this phone and i hope to use it for long term. ^^ Well its too early to tell. So far there's nothing serious. Its pretty stable for me even though this is my first time experience working with an UIQ phone. Used to hear a lot of stability problems with the UIQ since the P990 era but so far, the G900 has been promising.QUOTE(squall_kay @ Jun 21 2008, 11:28 PM) they implement dpad in order to make it easy for one-hand use Yeah, I prefer the D-pad more than the jog dial. The jog dial is useful with the P1i because most of the program icons are arranged in a list order. I think its most effective for scrolling a long list. The D-pad is better suited for grid arrangements of icons. I think it is the easiest to use for a new/typical user.Actually the G900 can be thought as a product positioned below the P1i. The P1i has been revolutionary with the semi-qwerty keyboard and the jog dial like any flagship SE UIQ phones. The G900 however was targeted to users emphasizing on multimedia capabilities and so the usual T9 keypad and D-pad is the best combination for a non-business-critical user. |

Yeah, availability of dark brown is near zero. I still haven't come across someone using the dark brown or a retailer displaying this color yet. It is not available officially yet, the currently available ones are AP set. At least these are generic phones and not branded ones from other region. Take note that a typical sales package includes the bluetooth handsfree while some remove this item in order to offer a lower price. Current AP sets have Chinese character creation and reading of SMS as well as the usual English language so do insist on getting the proper set.Although current AP sets are sold at the region of RM15xx (+/-100), we have no idea what is the pricing model for the original authorized set. I hope it is not lower otherwise the current AP price is like taking advantage on us for being first-to-market. Then again, we pay the price for owning it first and for buying AP. Kekekekeke! |

What davidmak meant is that if the original price is RM1300-1400, it would be a shame since right now, the AP sets are around RM1400-1500. I hope you get what I mean.
But yeah, the price of the original set is still unknown. And even if the price of the original set is higher, I'm sure the price of the AP set won't increase. |

After all, authorized phones have always been higher than AP price due to lack of manufacturer warranty and other related stuffs. Price of authorized phones is usually RM100-500 (depending on unit) more expensive.However, we need to consider that the SE G900 is positioned lower than SE P1i which selling around RM15xx now. So it still doesn't doesn't make sense to be higher or lower than AP price of RM1400-1500. |

Sorry it's too noob to ask these question. Coz i really going to get this phone instead of n82... Well so far there are no scientific evidence that suggests that a higher SAR value will affect our health. The SAR value is a benchmark established with the purpose of helping us understand the amount of electromagnetic waves absorbed by bodily tissue. It does not discuss on the effects as a result of this.and and... how about the battery life? If normal use or light use can last for 3 days? planning to get one 8GB for it... I would have to agree with you that the signal reception is only mediocre but it is highly dependent of what telco network you're connected to and the geographic position you're at. Other than that, yeah signal reception is a little poor. |

QUOTE(angelayen @ Jun 23 2008, 01:27 PM) wow, look like the SAR value much higher than P1i ya Actually the SAR is a very confusing benchmark. The procedure of measuring SAR is tricky too. For example, if a mobile phone has its antenna located at the bottom of the phone away from the user's face, the resultant SAR value will be a lot lower. In comparison, if the antenna of the mobile phone is located on the top of the phone just below the mobile phone speaker, the SAR value will be higher.Now the transmitting power from the phone must be high enough so that you get good reception and audio quality. Otherwise your phone will keep on searching for telco and end up using more battery power to stay connected to the telco base station. So most manufacturers will try to strike a balance between transmitting power, battery consumption and SAR value. They'll try to locate the best position to fit in the antenna without increasing SAR value too much. We now have 50 years worth of history using wireless phones and so far we don't have a string of people dying of cancer yet. So I'm not concern. However, having said that we should practice good rationalism when it comes to these issues. Like reducing usage of mobile phone because they help us save money more than our health If SAR value of mobile phone is destructive, wait till you see gadget freaks sticking their bluetooth handsfree on their ears! Hahaha! 2.4GHz electromagnetic waves pounding to and fro their handsets next to their genitals. Wait till you see that SAR value. Also, what about people living below those base stations? What about people living close to high-tension electrical cables that also emits powerful electromagnetic waves? What about the car that you drive? The spark plugs emits high powered waves too. Your iPods, in-house WIFI with those high gain antennas, radio sets, and walking around the street where our air is filled with noisy communication wireless link? |

LOL To be honest, you're right. It is like a microwave oven, but a very low powered one. Why do I say that? Lets look at the building construction material used for building shopping malls. The industry calls it sandwich, where we pile one floor on top of one floor and supported by beams and columns of concrete. Inside these concrete are hollow spaces filled by metal cage. The floor is filled with metal cage to increase surface support and spread the weight evenly. These cages in electromagnetic theory effectively makes it a Faraday Cage. It creates a shield which EM waves cannot escape or enter (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Faraday_cage).So if you would try to visualize, it is like a cave where EM or sound waves travel and bounce around creating echos. That is why we need more repeaters inside a building than outside in the open. Because these echos cancel each other out diminishing transmission power. Alright, I'll let you guys relax. My point so far is, we've exposed to these 'potential dangers' all the time. If history is of any indication, we see no adverse effects yet. So no need to worry so much. Just enjoy your phones. (Fingers crossed ) |

But yeah, those sellers wanna swallow the bluetooth headsets and sell separately I guess. The past weeks, I saw one person selling HBH-PV708 in loose packs for around RM100. So better insist on the inclusion of the headset. Not that it is high-end model but it is pretty useful when driving or cycling. |

To do 16.7 million color, SE would have to revamp its entire processor platform. Anyway I seriously doubt Nokia N-series can do 16.7 million real colors. Its more like color dithering process and near-pixel manipulation to give you that amount of colors. Granted the LCD must be able to support more than 262k addressing, the ARM9/11 used is only a 16bit MCU. So you do the math. That is also the main reason why most PDA phones are limited to 65k colors on their LCD although many sported 262k capable LCD panels. |

Davidmak.... u seems to noe a lot about SE platform.... u work for them or sumthing? The answer is no because you can get these information from esato forums, gsmarena, mobile-review, etc. If you want me to speak on Nokia's platform, I am just as competent. Hehehe! By the way, UIQ is an UI interface (with touch capability) that sits on top of the Symbian kernel. It is an extension to the Symbian OS just like S60. Both are Symbian. Now there's a good chance for a software to work on S60 will work with UIQ. Not all will though. You can find a lot of UIQ applications if you search hard enough. GPS navigation applications for example are available on all mobile OS platforms. Of course, it is not as robust and scalable as S60 but it has a pretty good track record so far. Also most games that you download from internet or telco are J2ME based and they can run cross-platforms. Its essentially JAVA. The only requirement is that the resolution must be correct/match your display resolution and in some cases, the soft keys must be correct. Then again, your friend is right to a certain extend. I am not a great fan of UIQ, in fact I am a new user. G900 is my first UIQ phone and so far my experience has been pleasant. |

The stability is marvelous since I used to have a bad impression on UIQ-enabled phones. I chose the G900 because it was optimized for finger usage. So far it has not 'hanged' except for one time when I was scanning for WIFI hotspot while streaming from youtube. I guess that more like a user error. Other than that, it has been behaving reliably. David,so far any hangs experience on yr hp ? One thing I would like to see G900 improve is the smoothness of the UI. I saw a lot of video previews which shows the G900 having really smooth transitions. I think with new software update, its possible. Also the Messaging section is a little bit stuttering. Whenever, you touch on a message, it flashes a few times before showing you the content (more like refreshing the message). So I'm very sure thats a bug that can be eliminated. I've tried loading a lot (and I mean A LOT) of programs into the memory. At one point I loaded more than 30 applications including GPS navigation software, games, bible reader, pdf reader, quick office, sms, mms, web with a few pages loaded including one with youtube streaming, media center, etc. The remaining memory still have around 25MB and I still get very quick response from the OS. I can still make a call and multitask (as in switching from one program in memory to another). The 128MB is virtually 'unfinishable'. Then I did one thing. I used Swiss Manager Pro and I hit the end all application. And it diligently quit every program one by one without any problem. Pretty robust. I am beginning to build the trust on the phone now. I really like the transflective display which doesn't loose contrast when viewing in the sun so GPS navigation is very usable unlike my previous LG KS20 which fades so much you can't see anything but the screen.

This is one of the best parts of the phone. It doesn't get warm during recharging and when running intensive applications. At least throughout my entire experience so far. However, I have not speak on the phone for extended period of time so I am not able to comment on that part. 2. Battery life so far has been mediocre. At most is only 2 days. Probably shorter if you use it extensively. 3. There is film protector for the LCD screen but not on the lens though. It is a small area to cover actually. I am only an enthusiast since I am owning this phone and I am happy about it. That is what I am doing here - to give the right information to future users. |

QUOTE(Jeffery @ Jun 26 2008, 01:00 AM) Hey davidmak, how to stream youtube video with G900? REALLY GOING TO GET IT ALREADY.... just waiting my money to be collected. Its easy. There are two ways to do it.1. Open up your browser, connect to the internet (via WIFI or 3G/data plan), type in www.youtube.com and it'll bring you there. 2. You can use a program called CorePlayer with flv support. You got to buy it though. Basically coreplayer will give you a better rendering quality. I've tried streaming on browser and the quality isn't good. A lot of artifacts. But my comments on coreplayer is based on assumptions from hearsay. I have not personally used coreplayer yet. So take it as it is. QUOTE(rayzrblade @ Jun 26 2008, 02:37 AM) sorry for the trouble guys, hehe! So have you been able to connect to any WIFI? If you aren't, there could be a problem. Try a full reset.i'm not as lucky as david... My G900 crashed a few times when I was tryin to connect to wifi... |

Then it hanged. Anyway if the G900 hangs every single time we scan for hotspots, that is amounting to failure of that particular feature since we can't even use WIFI at all. That contradict its specification and white paper. Yeah, I agree with you. SE better improve on the firmware soon if it is serious about G900's role in the market. |

I think it's true but how loud is it? Louder than n80? The AP stock quantity is quite low at the moment unless you go to lowyat garage section and lowyat plaza. Most dealers don't carry this phone due to lack of confidence on its price positioning. I confirmed this with another dealer yesterday. Most are waiting till the 1st of July launch before deciding on anything. Since this is coming soon, I suggest everyone to hold off their purchase till then. If the original price is low, then you guys are in for a treat. The AP price should fall accordingly too. QUOTE(charles_nkj @ Jun 27 2008, 07:18 AM) btw, can any1 comment on the camera quality (n also the touch focus)... The touch focus is only a software feature. In this feature, you touch anywhere on the screen and the camera will autofocus to the area you touch. This augments the default center focus point where you have to focus the center point to an object then reframe (while still holding the shutter) and then take the picture. With the touch focus, you just frame and then touch the area you want to focus on. Easy. i mean, how many "focus point" u can touch b4 hitting the shutter key. The camera takes good photo provided there is enough light. The downside is the blur. It is very prone to camera shake. A slight shake will ruin the picture. The problem is the shutter button is very hard to press and this shakes the camera every time you tries to press it.

Touch Diamond is just a gimmick. The only specialty to it is the TouchFlo 3D UI. It is only a program so to speak. A program which you can ripped it and then install to any device that has a Qualcomm 7200/01A and utilizing the onboard ATI Imageon (to a certain extend). There are examples of these done with Touch Cruise, LG KS20, TyTN II already with limited success. With time, those 'developers' will be able to track the necessary drivers for this. I hope you guys still remember the Broadcom and Qualcomm patent court case which is still impending. It resulted with Qualcomm giving little to non-existent support regarding the drivers for its graphics accelerator. We don't know if this Touch Diamond has necessary drivers for its graphics processor or HTC only specifically writes the TouchFlo 3D UI to use this while leaving other 3rd party programs relying on software rendering like the TynTN II, Touch Cruise, etc. We don't even know if the video acceleration is working. Maybe thats why HTC increase the clock speed to 5xx MHz and loaded extra RAM on top of 128MB to give you 192MB? On the other hand, SE X1 will be using the same platform built by HTC, probably from the Touch Pro that is scheduled to launch soon. So there is a close resemblance of both devices which I forsee you can install TouchFlo 3D to SE X1 or the other way around (hopefully, and IF SE still stick with WM6.1).  |

QUOTE(charles_nkj @ Jun 27 2008, 10:59 AM) blur due to handshake? The image stabilizer method employed is not an optical solution (as in lens compensating with gyro sensors). It is a software solution and if I am correct it tracks movement from the LiveView and then freezes frame to a slower frame rate so you can take the picture with ease. Alternatively, it tracks a smaller area of the 5MP resolution and then compensates by moving the tracked area around the 5MP resolution it is working with. This effectively reduce the quality because it has to do extrapolation.i thought the fone hav image stabiliser? i suppose its just marketing gimmick then.... then again, does it hav bestpic? coz most site didn't really mention abt this feature... Another down point is that when using image stabilizer, flash will be permanently disabled (for some reasons). If you're in a low light area, the camera is forced to lengthen the exposure by slowing down the shutter. In the end, you still get a small amount of camera shake. Anyway, using the camera without light can reduce the contrast of the resultant picture. Better use flash. Also it doesn't have best pic and I don't know how to operate the 3-pic-panaroma mode. Doesn't work. |

the G900 actually has a pretty good 5mp cam.
i believe one of the reasons why some G900 users claimed to have taken crappy pics is because of the camera button like what davidmak had pointed out. anyway, u dont actually have to press on the camera button when u wanna snap pics. all u have to do is just click on the place u wanna focus and just hold it for a few seconds for the cam to snap.

Mayb u can search about it ^^ Yeah I have heard about it too but don't know how true it is. It would be nice if it can support Flash Lite 3 in future software updates. However, I read that Flash Lite 3 is part of the roadmap for UIQ3.3. If this is true, we might get a nice upgrade to UIQ3.3 but I doubt this is likely. Crossing fingers though. I really hope I am wrong.QUOTE(charles_nkj @ Jun 28 2008, 11:03 AM) really? Well both phones are originally manufactured and assembled from Sony Ericsson's subcontractor. The only difference is the price and after sales support that you will be getting. I think we already have enough postings to discuss about AP vs Original. It is not like the olden days where AP is like water goods. Technology has been so advanced, we get a lot of stuff from the other parts of the world quickly now. Different region? No problem, we can reprogram it to have local software and content. that is a good thing to hear as im planning to get 1 when ori units hit the stores so, far in cheapest ap that i found in lyn is 1391.... sounds very tempting indeed... how is the AP quality differs with the ORI units? *aside from warranty issues* So far I can testify a few shortcomings on its assembly quality. I have seen both phones including mine to have the following: 1. When you shake the phone, you'll hear a minor shaky sound. That is the sound of a 'loose' camera lens and autofocus mechanism's free play. There's no problem with it, it takes good pictures and the sound goes away when you autofocus it. However, when you release the button, it is loose again. I guess this is natural. 2. Squeaky rear battery cover. That seems to be norm for a lot of phones today. If you study the way the back cover is capped onto the main body, you'll know why. 3. Small gaps on the black plastic casing on the top side of the phone (near the stylus and the other corner). Other that that, the phone has been very solid and its weight is pretty pleasant when held on the hand. I guess we can't expect perfection. I am extremely interested with Samsung's i900 Omnia and I wonder how is its assembly quality. Must be good for the price. QUOTE(rayzrblade @ Jun 28 2008, 01:18 AM) the G900 actually has a pretty good 5mp cam. Very nice finding there.

But anyway I am not worried about the picture quality. It is not top notch but it is decent enough. However, I expect AF quality to improve in later firmware updates. I don't know if you notice, when you autofocus the camera, even though too close, the center focus point still indicate green. This is very misleading because you'll never know if it was able to autofocus too 100% sharpness. You can't tell from the LCD screen. I hope the firmware update will solve this. |

SE X1 is indeed a nice phone but I am worried that it might be overpriced. Right now the only differentiating factor of Windows Mobile-based smartphones are their customized UI and transitions. Specification wise and feature wise is the same because they all runs on WM. We could ripped them into CABs and install them across different WM phones. It is the UI that sets them apart. So far I am convinced with Samsung i900 Omnia's TouchWiz UI. It completely replace WM default menus (which is dry and boring) and gives them 'Apple' like transitions. HTC Diamond's TouchFlo 3D is only a homeplug UI, when you go deeper into WM you're back with its old UI. I am worried that SE X1 might be like this too. QUOTE(charles_nkj @ Jun 29 2008, 07:30 AM) oh... ok. thnx 4 the info Yeah the SE G900 comes with chinese input and character recognition. It all depends on the CDA list and customization finalized on the firmware. Just insist on having this feature when purchasing so that the seller could reprogram the phone if required. When you're done, you can update regularly with SEUS. It'll work like they belong to local original units. becoz, based on my experience.... i had played with my ori w800 n my fren ap w800, w580 n k550. it seems that the ap units if some what "heavier" n have poor built quality...

Actually AP or not, they all come from the same factory. Maybe there's a conspiracy that some early production phones that does not satisfy strict (I mean very strict) QC checks are all flooded in the AP market. That is why you see AP units coming into the market long before the original units are launched. After some time, production quality stabilizes and with time the AP units will be of the same 'quality' like originals. That could be the reason I can think of.But anyway mobile phones are quite good in built quality nowadays. We're should be more worried with the software/firmware of earlier units. However, we can get them updated when new ones are made available. So there is really nothing to worried about. Better worry about getting a phone that you regret or don't like. Hehehehe!

G900 has more interesting features than G700 & its quite reasonably priced. therefore, it's more popular.

the original i saw is Black colour from THorus(at Subang)...with 1gb card but no BT ....but i have also seen a red G900 AP set at IOI Mall selling Rm16xx with no free memory card...but come with a free blue tooth...
I am wondering what is the original package come with ? why differ ? Do u think I should get the ori (only RM1700) or the AP set.... ??? can use the touch screen to focus on our object... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=f9eZ4_jfr1o&feature=related but camera not as good as 5MP at C902 (also around RM1700) with 2gb card... both are good...but personally i like the design of G900 better!

QUOTE(waynekoowy @ Jun 29 2008, 04:15 PM) what's the price for this phone? AP and ORI The price is around RM13xx to 14xx for AP. Price of original unit is still unknown. However, the original unit is expected to be launched on the 1st of July 2008. It may however affect AP price.QUOTE(aQaNc3R @ Jun 29 2008, 04:27 PM) well, G900 seems a lot hotter than G700 does... Well G900 has more interesting features especially the UI and the WIFI. The most important advantage is that G900 is only a few hundred dollars more expensive than G700 which makes it rather worth an upgrade.As can i see, it is almost about G900...LOL QUOTE(LittleCow @ Jun 29 2008, 06:07 PM) today...I saw in Subang Parade....that guy let me touch the real G900...(not dummy set)... RM1700? Is this AP or Original unit price? If it is original unit price, then it is worth looking. AP price is only RM13xx to 14xx. Take note that the SE Bluetooth headset HBH-PV708 is included as standard accessory. Please insist on getting the full set. I already saw people selling full package at RM13xx. 1GB M2 card is not really expensive nowadays. In fact, 2GB M2 card only costs around RM60 in Low Yat. Add another RM40, you get a 4GB M2 card already which is very worth it. is at RM1700...he said come with 1GB card..... do u think worth buying it ? I foresee the G900 as an ideal device for installing programs, games, music and video. So 2GB (despite being the standard nowadays) isn't really cutting it already. Anyway as for programs and games, all UIQ (and some S60) applications and games can be installed. All previous SE UIQ devices like P1i, M600, W960, W950, etc games can be installed. Besides you also have a large collection of JAVA J2ME games and applications available. I am already playing 'photohunt' on my G900! Hahahaha! Very arcade like. |

Anyway before purchasing, check and double check all the features are working properly especially the LCD screen for any dead spots, keypads, and the touch screen. Open up the notes program (the first button on the top left). Use the stylus and draw around the whole screen to check the touchscreen. This is to check for dead strips of touchscreens. |

I am in SG now and tried this phone earlier. its SGD688 here. original and without any contract. translate to about RM1670 (give or take the xchange rate diff).
There is a slight delay in respond but i think its much better than the Samsung Omnia i tested also. The rest of the phone look pretty much like the old SE menu. I am gonna be here for a while so i'll wait for the price to go down further before committing. The G900 have gone from $768 when i arrive a month ago to $688 now. The one thing i wish its better is the UI graphic. It's not as "groovy" as iPhone or the Samsung F480 but i think this might change with theme (well at least that i how the SE menu works...!!!). BTW this one is not HSDPA? This post has been edited by demio121: Jul 1 2008, 10:41 PM |

However, the speed/performance boost is as much as what is supported on the G900's internal memory card controller. So far the speed for the usual M2 is quite fast on the G900. I would commit for capacity rather than speed for now. Anyway if you're the type that likes to swap M2 cards around and use an external card reader for read/write large files, then an Ultra M2 would be nice.

Well Symbian OS executes a program faster than WM actually. Maybe because each Symbian OS (be it S60/UIQ/etc) is tailored to a specific phone architecture. WM however caters to a wide audience.

I don't think the themes could do any change because currently, G900 do not support Flash lite on its wallpaper/home screen. So Flash UI remains the impossible at the moment.

Actually I wonder whether you guys have seen the Sony Ericsson Xperia X1's user interface on youtube. So far we only saw the panel interface. If you would look carefully, the transitions are still pretty laggy. Apart from that, its back to the old old WM boring interface.
HTC Diamond and Samsung Omnia so far earns the effort for hiding most of the WM's interface with their own UI. So I won't say X1 is the best now. It is still unannounced and that means its still in development stage. Anything can change now. SE already canceled a few models so... there's no tell it might cancel more models. But so far, if X1's video preview is of any indication the UI isn't better than the available choices now in the market. |

Actually the interface response and speed has much to improve and I foresee software updates to further optimize it. But for an UIQ interface, it is the fastest I have seen or used. The G900 will be good enough as of right now. If you have been using Symbian OS phones before, they're more or less the same. They don't have fancy transitions, S60 OS don't even have transitions. Only UIQ has it but very basic ones. I long for the day Symbian OS both S60 and UIQ can support Flash UI. It'll change everything. Just like it is changing WM which used to be a boring home screen and now to an advanced fancy UI. |

QUOTE(davidmak @ Jul 2 2008, 12:56 PM) Actually the interface response and speed has much to improve and I foresee software updates to further optimize it. But for an UIQ interface, it is the fastest I have seen or used. The G900 will be good enough as of right now. If you have been using Symbian OS phones before, they're more or less the same. They don't have fancy transitions, S60 OS don't even have transitions. Only UIQ has it but very basic ones. I long for the day Symbian OS both S60 and UIQ can support Flash UI. It'll change everything. Just like it is changing WM which used to be a boring home screen and now to an advanced fancy UI. Hoping that this phone is not lagging, especially for opening the incoming message. G900 should work faster than Symbian phone, does it? |

Thanks for your input, I'll probably go to the SE showroom to test one myself. I've tried playing around with my friend's W960i, so far so good, just a little laggy once in a while, I will say it's minimal. If G900 is a bigger improvement, I'll consider this model even the screen is slightly smaller and besides that, 8GB M2 ain't that expensive nowadays compared to the first time I bought a 2GB M2 last time. |

G900 runs Symbian ler fren... Symbian v9.1 with UIQ 3.0best is you go try it yourself. Feel the touchscreen, look at the menu... start d mp3 player and then start moving around the menu to see if there is any performance issue. i will tell you that Win Mobile is slow but a WM user will tell you otherwise...!!! its very much up to the user.

switching from p910i, m600i, p1i and G900.
i would say... p1i has the zappy speed. G900 is too early to tell as the firmware is still new, i believe once the updated firmware released.. it would be as snappy as p1i. i duno, i felt g900 a bit laggy... especially on the touch response. UI transition is fine.. just the touch response a bit lag. just my two cents. anyway.. i've sold my g900 for e71 still kenot forgo the QWERTY after e61, e61i and now e71. brilliant!sorry ak.. no offence at all. me oso SE fans |

i have gone thru a few online review sites, including some of the photos taken by the G900 in this thread.
looks like the 5 megapixels camera is a let-down the best thing i like about the G900 is the Notes feature. very cute.   |

panasonic88,
i think this little e71 will last me for months. getting old d... honestly, not much phones really impress me nowadays. but to be franked, since this is G900 thread... i would say... G900 is the best buck to get phone.. if you want touch screen UIQ3. **as if you don't mind the WLAN B -only-** the only drawback.. i found in G900.. is the slight lag on touch response, and some of the great features hv been stripped down, especially the great Task Manager found in M600i and P1i has been replaced by a simple version. you can't close all apps with one single tap on the screen. maybe SE intends to offer UI simplicity to its consumers.. but for existing m600i/p1i users might find it abit lacking.. especially on those great operating features just my 2 cents though. i remember i got my p910i at rm2k+ previously... apa pun tadak. no EDGE.. no WIFI... VGA camera. heh.. this one.. bundled with bluetooth headset.. wifi... great speaker.. finger navigation... apa mao? This post has been edited by amdx: Jul 3 2008, 11:18 PM |

G900 only support B. no G, as per printed on the box itself.
the same goes to P1i.. only B. get a G-wireless router and try to hook on urself to believe it. I still don't know why ppl still think it supports G. perhaps a sony ericsson dev's site would give some tech. specs in a little detailed? http://developer.sonyericsson.com/site/glo...g900/p_g900.jsp |

I don't remember any of its UIQ-based phones have GPS feature built-in. The Google Map for Symbian is available for download free of charge. Now this is a native symbian application which is great and stable. The default application supports GSM triangulation in the form of approximate location feature. It'll roughly tell you where is your current position. If you need detail information, no doubt a GPS is required.built in.... so...since G900 is of higher end....got no GPS or built in GOggle map ?? You can get an external GPS bluetooth receiver for around RM250~ and install your choice of navigational software. I've did this and it works great. |

QUOTE(panasonic88 @ Jul 4 2008, 11:41 AM) @davidmak Well if you have been checking the sales thread, I am getting rid of my phones hahahaha! Well, actually I like the G900 a lot but I got the red one which doesn't suit me. The APs don't seem to have black the last time I checked. Now I am checking for good deals for HTC Diamond. Will still get a G900 in the short future, probably for my wife. She wants it black too. i am curious to know what's your next phone? read that you plan to get the black G900 instead? Before I got accused of changing phones as often as I change underwear , I usually get an ultra-high-end phone every 2 years. Thats just me though. Just too bad we don't have mobile plans like in Singapore. I remember Maxis and Celcom have one of these offers 5-8 years ago. But its a double rip off because you pay for the plan and still pay a hefty sum on the phones which is supposed to be heavily subsidized. End up only cheaper by a few hundred dollars. Now APs are quite reliable, so might as well get those and not bounded by contracts. Then again, Singapore's call rates are more expensive than in Malaysia. |

So far got the phone for my gf yesterday, she's happy with the features and the interface for the G900.

Give it a try bro. Hope it helps If your contacts in sim still dont appear, meaning previously your stored contacts was using the phone memory. Put back the sim card in your old phone and have them copied to the sim. Then it should appear when you access it using the G900 This post has been edited by quiksilve: Jul 7 2008, 09:31 PM |

Guys, my G900 won't display message received notification or some sort, meaning that when a new message comes in, it won't display anything on my phone, i need to check in my inbox for any unread messages. I've check the settings and certainly ticked "display notification". Care to help guys?

Also the THD is quite low which results in more natural sound. So far the only stereo setups I like is N95/8GB. Very clear. |

A word of advise... if you plan to update your phone software for the first time, find time like 2hr to spend. Downloading that update service software will take some time.... then install and downloading update will take sometime again. not forgeting b4 u update backup and this also take a while. The update procedure is rather tricky and need some patience. at time instruction ask u to remove batt la, press "C" button and u sit and wonder why no progress.... thing will take some time to come back alive...!!! oso when doin backup... for a while there is like nothign happeing during the phone reset...!!! so be patience... after sitting thru like 2hr... my update finally tell me "there is no update. your phone is using the latest software". well, i take it a learning how to use G900 lesson... |

Yeah thats a total nut job from Sony Ericsson's part. It works fine on some PCs and not with the other. It won't detect. Until I found out the item in device manager named G900. Right click it and then you should see that it is disabled. Enabling it, will trigger the appropriate detection. However, it doesn't always work that way on other PCs. So yeah, I am fuming too.It should work out of the box, not like I had to such and such of a procedure in order to get it to work. Not only G900 got this problem, even other models too. Windows would detect the phone's GSM modem, not the PC connection. Thats why a lot of SE users have migrated to SEPhoneExplorer which is an excellent piece of software. However, it doesn't support UIQ phones yet at the moment. |

It is my 1st SE phone, and i kinda hooked-up to it, at 1st i'm considering of buying P1i, but a 2nd thought at shop really hindered my thought a bit, i've been looking in this thread for a while before i made my decision, hehe... i'm not very techno-savvy, but i can say that its features really served me a lot... looking forward to this phone updates i.e. theme customizations, softwares etc... thanks all to you guys

I am still undecided between a G900 smartphone and a C902 cybershot (now using K810i)....
i prefer to have better photo taking quality and if possible some smartphone function too ! (and I am also considering Nokia N82...which is a value buy now...) This post has been edited by HW-Racer: Jul 9 2008, 08:21 AM |

If you want convenience just for the sake of communication, then a bluetooth serves the purpose well not to mention the style it provides. If you want good sound quality as well as using the radio function, you'll need a good wired stereo headset. I would choose SE's finest wired earphones costing around RM300 complete with remote commander. |

you try the wireless stereo bluetooth before? how's the quality. I was using W850i and the default earpiece is good enough for me. Radio is not too important to me.
I just don't want to buy a wireless then regret about the sound quality. These wireless thing, most shop don't allow testing, unlike the phone. All wrap in boxes nicely. |

Radio is not too important to me. Yeah, I tried the bundled HBH-PV708 bluetooth headset. Sound quality is not remarkable. Usable only. I guess you need to buy higher end models to have good voice quality. Even the music playback is worse. No amplification and the playback sound muted. The W850's default earpiece is good because it is a in-ear configuration. But it is too boomy. I just don't want to buy a wireless then regret about the sound quality. These wireless thing, most shop don't allow testing, unlike the phone. All wrap in boxes nicely. You can always try your friend's one before buying. Oooh! I remember, Cliptech (I think this is the name) is popular for bluetooth handsfree but utilizing earpiece. It consist of a bluetooth transceiver main body with the mic integrated. Then it provides a 3.5mm earphone jack for connecting to the earpiece of one that you prefer. That way you can have both wireless freedom and not sacrifice on music quality. QUOTE(Aishiteru^Suki @ Jul 9 2008, 09:51 AM) Thank you for ur reply guys.. If you want good imaging, then G900 is not good enough. It is decent in my opinion. But the color rendering is not accurate enough unless you practice post-processing using PC software. The C905 would be highly anticipated in my opinion. this makes me wanna buy G900 more.. still considering though.. what do u guys think? should i go for G900 or should i wait for C905 thanks again |

if imaging is of prime concern, get a compact camera. I have not try the new C-series phone but at teh time of release even the K8xx series phone quality is acceptable. Its good among camera phone but if you are picky about picture quality, compact camera is still better.

I like screen very much. It is a transflective display so legibility in the sun is still good without loosing too much color contrast. If you diligently study the screen surface, you'll see that it has an angled ribs all over it. That is to protect the screen. As a result, the screen is not like those PDA phones soft type. Its hard and feels like glass. i really desperate to change phone.. sick of K850i already.. one more thing.. is the touch sensitive button oki??? As a result, it'll respond to touches from the stylus, finger nails and fingers. |

Got myself the HBH-DS220 bluetooth headset. Sounds is OK to me. I'll probably upgrade the earpiece to something better later. Should have got the 200 model as it comes with earplug (220 come with in-ear) since i am gonna upgarde the earpiece anyway. Pairing is simple. I just pair once, the rest i just swithc on and auto pairing. I wish there is more remote function. it only have play and stop function on the blurtooth. I wanted 980 model but 980 do not have 3.5mm jack, so i am stuck with the default earpiece.
install the trial version of handy expense too. so far its good. help me keep track of my expenses while i m away at a foreign land. Its a simple one to use. I might buy the full version soon. i think its $11 if i purchase online in the next 3 days. I have been using S ans SE phone for the last 7-8 years (my last 4 phone are S or SE) and this G900 need some getting used to. Some function either they are missing or i have yet to find it. Like profile... i am still looking for it. Th touchscreen thing is not exactly touchscreen as i would put it, especially scrolling. For instance, i kept a pdf copy of the train system but it's won't scroll with touchscreen... well, u can touch the scroll bar to scroll... which i thought its not so convenient as the scroll bar is not that big for my fingers. Also when you reach some menu and you see a scroll bar, well, take the stylus out then... The media player is cool, almost (i have not really 100% tried all function yet) touch-able. scrolling the different music files, picture or video, work with the finger well. The media interface is pretty cool, not like those other menu. 2 major grouse i have is the software and also respond time. The SE software since my W850i have given me the same old problem. I start the software and plug in my phone, sometime the software just don't see my phone. i gotta unplug then plug in again. at time gotta do this a few time. demn... can't the improve this??? also the procedure can be headache... especially the update service. when doin the update, at time i don't know if things are still working or i am waiting for durian runtuh... and not to mention the "press C button, pull the battery out... blah blah blah... steps". My old Philips MP3 player have an easier update procedures. ah... respond time. when i got this G900 i am expecting some wait time. At time its fast. i touch menu come up. sometime, i scroll the panel, its like things hang. i just leave my phone idle for a while and in a while (i don't go counting the second...) its OK. a little annoying but so far the machine have not totally hang on me that i nedd a hard reset. The shortcut... it more like a macro to auto the menu. example... you select create sms... you can see on the screen, the whole process of going to the message menu, select create sms. and when you close, you see the same thing again in recerse order. not an issue but something i think can be imrpoved <- is this a Symbian or UIQ issue??? overall, i am OK with the G900. Lite PDA user who need a phone first then a PDA later will probably find this one fitting. Now i got a question to ask... is the a Microsoft Outlook Today alike screen? i wanna see what is my task, appoitnment when i active the phone. Next, i'll try watching movie and see what's the experience like. BTW, anyone have used 4GB memory. The shop i bought told me i might encounter problem if i max the memory. |

So far my one has been running on the new sandisk m2 4GB, nope not a problem at all. Smooth operation
The sales person did advise me if i go beyong that like 8GB, the problem is only might be slower in response time cause of the huge amount of data in the memory card trying to be read by the phone software. But i think when 16GB becomes a norm for phones, a software update might just do the trick in the near future. This post has been edited by quiksilve: Jul 11 2008, 10:49 AM |

Smooth operation Actually the capacity problem does not result in the phone becoming unresponsive. You may have an 8GB memory card but if you're not filling it up yet or nowhere near the limit there is no such thing as a huge amount of data in memory. After all these are flash memory which is persistent. No power is required to hold them and you don't move and shift these data the entire 8GB block at the same time. Chances are you access the data the same you would do for any other smaller capacity cards.The sales person did advise me if i go beyong that like 8GB, the problem is only might be slower in response time cause of the huge amount of data in the memory card trying to be read by the phone software. But i think when 16GB becomes a norm for phones, a software update might just do the trick in the near future. The problem comes from the resources required for the huge amount of addressing in a high capacity card. Depending on the hardware platform, it may not be game enough to handle such requirements. Especially those 16bit processors that is inefficient and require multiple clock cycles to complete one instruction. This is where the slowing down will happen. New phones or technically newer platforms with new MCUs should have solved this problem. Look at iphone 8GB, 16GB and even 32GB. Look at Touch Diamond and Omnia. Although these are built in, they are basically the equivalent of flash memory ICs. Just want to get this problem cleared. This post has been edited by davidmak: Jul 11 2008, 02:12 PM |

With faster processing power, programs get fancier and the vicious cycles start. I remember my family first ever mobile phone... the Motorola taikor tai 8000 series phone. man... there is not even memory to store phone number. I remember the shop telling my brother to get the Sony model, can store 3 phone number...!!! THREE...!!! How things change.The problem comes from the resources required for the huge amount of addressing in a high capacity card. Depending on the hardware platform, it may not be game enough to handle such requirements. Especially those 16bit processors that is inefficient and require multiple clock cycles to complete one instruction. This is where the slowing down will happen. New phones or technically newer platforms with new MCUs should have solved this problem. Look at iphone 8GB, 16GB and even 32GB. Look at Touch Diamond and Omnia. Although these are built in, they are basically the equivalent of flash memory ICs. Just want to get this problem cleared. |

QUOTE(rayzrblade @ Jul 9 2008, 04:09 PM) those are not touch sensitive buttons, unlike the k850i. the g900 has a touch screen. although the screen is rather small for a touch screen, but believe me, it doesnt hinder usability most of the time. although some icons might appear to be small, but trust me, you will have no prob 'touchin' them XD. Really?? so those 3 white thingy are not touch sensitive buttons laa?? Another plus for me.. confirm will buy it this weekend.. bubye K850 .. ow one more thing.. can G900 use the SE external flash?? not sure about the name.. thanks guys.. will join the club soon |

LOL! Just got myself a Dark Red G900 today, TS please at my name if there is a name list. I bought it in Lowyat shop called Mobile Arena, since they able to discount for me (but I think mine is display set). I bought it at RM1430 + RM20 (for a good screen protector worth RM30) + Sandisk M2 4GB card in Sri Comp at RM89. It is full package including original Bluetooth Headset, stereo headset and other cables. (**It's AP set**)
Ok, let me do a simple review of what I think of the phone after using for 8 Hours. First of all, G900 supports G band for WIFI. My router is set for broadcasting only G band for very long time already and old laptop with only B band wifi card can't even connect my network, but G900 can connect it without any problem at all. Ok, let's go to another point. If you're kind of person who's fast in navigating non-OS phone (means ur action is faster than the system respond), G900 will be disappoint you. The speed of G900 is average, not to say very fast but it doesn't hang (hard reset kind). When you're doing something that will affect the whole system, you will get urself a hang situation (but it actually doesn't hang, you just need to wait). Changing themes can be scary and slow. Overall speed is "so so". About the camera, G900 was said to have the worst camera in 5MP cameraphone history. However, if the light condition is ok, this photo quality will be quite decent. Video recording in QVGA resolution (320x240) at 15 fps, if you're not moving too fast with the camera, the quality of the video can be decent as well. Speaker, loudness is cool but the speaker has best sound quality at 70 to 80% volume. G900 produces loudness at the same level with my w810i when w810i is 100%, G900 80%. Anything above 80% volume will causes noise. Navigating is such a headache for new symbian user. Cause G900 allows you to view your media files in 2 diff way. One is thru File Manager (zooming picture can be painful) , one is the media manager. Media manager requires you to update the library everytime you modify your files. For people like me who too used to non symbian phone will be very confusing. Quality and build of the phone is average, the houseing doesn't feel like a high end model. Keypad can be more solid and there are no touch sensitive button over the 3 white dot. Whenever you wanted to select the option above the 3 white dot, you need to touch the touch screen but not the white dots. As for connectivity, bluetooth is at normal speed as all SE phones. WLAN is easy to connect and fast. But Opera browser doesn't performs good in non fit-to-screen mode. It's quite laggy for any website. Oh ya, there are only 3 alarms available so if you want more you need to download other software for it. Can't think of anything to write at the moment. But I have few questions, how can I make sure that the phone using only WIFI to surf net but not 3G? I not dare to activate my 3G first because of this. And and... overall of this phone....is above average and it's pretty good if you compare the speed and touch screen responsive with P1i. This post has been edited by Jeffery: Jul 12 2008, 12:44 PM |

No need 3G... unless you are unlimited data plan, paying for surfing on 3G will cost you a bomb not to mention 3G (I ma not refering to HSDPA) is all hype no substance. Its reali slow. |

There is a function where at standby the screen look like Microsoft Outlook today. showing the daily calendar entry, inbox, task and missed call. Goto Setting - Display - Standby Application and choose business.
Catch is the touch panel is missing instead you get a list of shortcut that can open and collapse. Not very cool i must say. I'll stay with the touch panel for now. I am not that a busy man that i need to look at my Today to remind me of my life. and a small report of my G900 and my BT headset. Yest suddenly my G900 is not transfering any sound to my bluetooth. I gotta reset my ohone to make it work again. don't kno why but after a song, its al silence. The controls are all still working but oni no sound on my BT headset. |

Is it becoz the first time I charge wasn't fulfill the 8 hrs requirement? or is there such requirement? I think with medium usage the phone can't last for one whole day.

Ic... thx davidmak for answering my question.
I found one solution for seperating 3G connection and WIFI for internet browsing. First, go to connection mgr then find internet account. Set ur 3G connection to one group and wifi AP for another group. And in setting, tick the show connection dialog. So whenever, you open the browser, it will prompt you which connection group to use for surfing internet. So it won't mixed up the 3G and WIFI connection. Coz i felt that not enabling 3G is not a good solution. ^^ |

I need the alarm. So maybe flight mode while I'm sleeping? I'm not sure this phone support auto switch on for alarm but it's kinda risky to do that, who knows it will hang during switch on (although it won't haha).

alarm might work if its switched off (not too sure, gotta try)
flight mode will probably reduce the power consumption |

reviews says this phone uses UMTS. Can it use local 3G?
And there is no mention of headphone jack...so we just use the bundled earphones to hear FM and MP3? |

UMTS is 3G, AFAIK.
And yeah, you just use the bundled earphones or maybe you can buy a third-party that allows you to connect your own 3.5mm earphones. |

new SE all uses the fast port connect. You can get a earphone with 3.5mm jack. SE have plenty of those and they all look cool too. The bluetooth stereo eaphone i got (HBH-DS220) oso uses a 3.5mm jack.

this looks like a perfect phone to replace my aging N70
advantages -3g -lighter than N70 -SE phone fonts are more legible than n70 small thin fonts -organizer and alarm functions -large screen for a phone can the symbian application from N70 run on this symbian. i usually use the blacklist application, so if anybody has some idea or using it on this phone do tell. thanks This post has been edited by zamanjaafar: Jul 14 2008, 01:52 AM |

So far only once i have "un-scheduled" re-boot cause my phone is not transfering the sound to my blurtooth headset.G900 comes with Li-Poly battery which minimise the memory effect. I think if u use the normal charger (not the USB), from zero to full bar takes about 2.5hours. Li-Poly battery can take partial charging better so don't be too worry. Li-Poly don't have to charge 8hr initially. A not very scientific comparison... my K500i original battery is Li-Io battery. last me only 1 yr before the battery bloated. I got a replacement Li-Poly battery and its now 3 yrs and still can last me 3-4 days between charge (2 days i heavy use). |

ok... For now I think mt batt life can last 2 days with medium usage. Flight mode during sleeping hours about 8 to 9 hrs. Hope SE will come out with the latest firmware, just can't wait to c some improvement for G900. ^^

After few days of usage. The phone kinda laggy. I really hope SE release the latest firmware for us. Else my fren will laugh and critic my precious G900 to the max of being stupid and slow. (Although I doesn't think so)
Today I went to my coll and tried the WIFI. When I press scan the phone gone blank and auto restart. After restarting it shows a msg saying the phone auto restart to perform better performance. I mean WTH, why I'm in other places WIFI has no such thing but only my coll. And it applied to everytime I scan the AP in my coll. Somemore, I didn't open any application background, RAM and CPU usage shud be in minimum state. Just very weird.... and after that incident. My phone started to behave strangely for SMS. When sms came it didn't alert me. Only applied for SMS but not other function. Luckily after my force shutdown and restart the phone back to normal. Really really hoping SE will fix these problem... or just 208mhz not enuff? This post has been edited by Jeffery: Jul 14 2008, 08:18 PM |

thx for the link.
Anyway, for those who encounter laggy G900 and always hang. Please do master reset. It can speed up ur phone to the extent that you no need to restart ur phone anymore. ^^ |
