er...i dun think so...the only SE ad i saw is for low/mid end phones.
w595, F305, R-sumthin....

btw, the keypad looks like the same one as C905...
and the release date is 27th feb.

i wan 2 buy w902 d...
but now got w705 n g705...
ai...duno which 1 good...
who can tell me which 1 better???icon_question.gif

if u dont mind the camera quality, i wud say go for W705. bigger screen. and wifi.
if you want camera quality, go for W902. it has the best camera for any walkman phones now.

unless.....

*hint hint* a 8 megapixel camera walkman phone codenamed "Hikaru" is in the works now according to rumours. but only will be out probably by end of this year.

@winterysnow: HPM88 noise cancelling sounds cool... and the ear buds are a lil different... wanna try. =)
HPM 77 i think is overpriced now... RM169 at SE service center. Like a case modded HPM70 only...

U dunno wad is SAR value? is a kind of radioactive that will affect our body ( cell )

big SAR value = big chance to get brain cancer
*
its the "Specific Absorption Rate" of the phone.
means the maximum power that is absorbed by ur body over a certain amount of flesh.

higher SAR is not exactly proven to cause cancer tho. =p
besides, it only reaches the maximum SAR value when needed. its not all the time de.

read wikipedia for more info. =D

i would like to know,
is it i can use wifi to access ebuddy/gmail applications?
if can, how to do the setting?
i hv tried several times and always request for data account from service provider.

thanks a lot!
*
harlow. u must 1st download the wap settings for data account into ur phone. e.g.: maxis wap 3g bla bla bla...

tats is to stop the stupid programs to annoy u.

then...make sure ur programs are set to "allow local connections" = yes.

then on wifi, connect to a wireless network tat u r sure tat has connection, then juz surf.
dun worry. they wun charge as long as ur wifi works.

w580 keypad cracks becoz it uses hard plastic...
SE fixed it wif W595... no complains n problems so far from wad i heard. =p
the only concern abt the keypad of W705 is the durability i think...
flat keypads often loose tactility after prolonged usage.

w595 is an excellent choice IMO. but it doesnt have high end features like W705.
i think W705 is just slightly thicker than W595.. so... the size shud be ok for u.
going upwards of W705 wud be W995...but it will be thicker lo.

any owner of phone w705.. can confirm? this phone .. does it support installation of java programs? such as chatting program like msn, slick, fring.. im+ and so on? i've never used a SE b4 so need to know
*
hi, i am C905 user. the software platform is same as W705... it is sony ericsson's A200 platform.
yes, it is a java based program.
chatting programs on sony ericsson phones will be like eBuddy. Can install n can use wif wifi.
other programs like trekbuddy (for gps), dictionary (java version), lightsaber (for entertainment) and many many games can be installed. as long as the installation file is .jar

but u have to check the compatibility first of coz.

so so so nice. and its slim too.
the keypad feels good too. but dont know whether it will last or not. haha.

if u are a user of W910, u wont regret upgrading to this phone.
IMO, this is currently the sleekest n nicest walkman slider phone if you prefer form over function.
function wise, w995 pwns. haha

yeap, the "a" means it's meant for american market.
I think u got ur phone as AP set rite?
the AP company probly imported it and flashed the phone to local firmware and sells it.
Not much problem actually, but it wud be a little troublesome if u wanna update ur firmware. =p
