For those who fail to update their firmwares thru SEUS, its most likely u have a invalid CDA number (usually happens to AP sets)...u can correct it by changing it with a software called A2 CDA file generator which is 100% free, and there is a thorough guide to do it!

To check ur CDA code, go to the service menu by pressing >*<<*<*, den go to service info>software info...scroll down and find CUSTIMIZATION, there u will see the codes. Mine is 12345678-1234(which is wrong) before this, now its corrected to 1201-0176

Using SEUS to update is more secure and u can get latest firmwares, which is quite impossible to find them elsewhere.

i've tried it and it works perfectly, and i think the risk involved is minimum...

here's the guide and download page:

Also here's the list of supported phones of the CDA file generator

I've read sumwhere about the the joint easily broken issue, it is something to worry about...But mine I feel it's quite sturdy.
BTW, the cam although it's not the best cam (no autofocus, not lanscape camera mode, limited options), but I only use my camera for some candid shot and they all turn out to be quite good, and the fun part? Geo-tagging~
And the track ID, it's uber cool, it really identifies any song from any source, I've tried TV, in the car, mp3 player with speaker, radio...anything.

Too lazy to find me camera...

Added on June 7, 2009, 9:16 pmOrite, some reminders, switch your network to GSM only to conserve your battery life, with 3G on I can only survive 2 days with 10 hours of music, 5 pics, 10-20 sms, 3 mms, 100% brightness.

After switching to GSM network, I manage to get double of that. Don't worry you can switch it back anytime when you need 3G (video call, faster internet surfing etc etc).

Laggy yes, but I don't "multitask" with W980 so, no problem for me...
Currently filled up to almost 6GB of rubbish (musics, photos, podcasts, videos) still, performance just like before... Just that start up takes abit longer.

Yes so have I, but the phone seems to be normal with the music on when u exit the media and let it play, by then i'll usually continue texting and browing the net with music on without any lagging issues...

normally for SE phones, when u play the walkman player and text sms simultaneuosly, it tends to lag a little. for older walkman phones ie SE W800i this doesnt happen.

Could the lag be because of the firmware problem?

Turning on the phone takes quite a long time :\
