hi everyone, ive been going through this thread for the whole night last night and today and im still having doubts whether to buy this phone or not. this is my 1st time doing so much 'research' on a phone that i want to buy and i read mixed comments of bad and good from you ppl. mostly is good but of course when i meant bad is 'problems' occuring.

the reason i would like to get this phone is because it fits my 3 specs that i want:

5MP camera.
WiFI
Touch screen(we do need touch screen to browse/surf wifi right?? i think will be quite difficult to surf w/o touch screen IMHO)

this is my 1st phone which ill be getting which has touch screen and WiFi btw. and some comments that say their touch screen dont work, its not consoling. bcoz i buy for its touch screen and wifi function but if 1-2 years down the road, it start malfunction then kantoi la. biggrin.gif

previously ive used symbian phones like the n-gage, nokia 7610 and currently im having a n73. talking about lag, i hear ppl say if u put memory card too huge the capacity, it will cause the phone to lag but recently when i went to ask a shopkeeper about this g900. he said u need a slightly bigger capacity card, 2GB, so it wont lag. see it contradicts. im currently using a 512MB memory card for my n73, half filled and its still ok. lag at times of course. last time when it was filled, say mayb 400mb+ it more lag. i havent played this phone before therefore im not sure how lag is the lag some of u complaning.

1 more, i read somewhere also said that the camera not as good a n73???? is that true? to me n73 is bad enough already also.

i buy this phone mainly bcoz i need a camera upgrade, 5 MP, WiFi and touch screen. so if these 3 things have to be on par. haha. also because price quite good.

PS: or any1 can honestly recommend other phones as nice and as good and satisfying the 3 specs im looking for?

it would be best if some1 who has a n73 before tell me about this g900 comparing with the n73. anyone has any idea how much my n73 worth with full box set and 512 card?

thanks for your reply. i wont post any photos because im not a good photographer lol. but i only know now my n73 produce slightly blueish photos. i have set most of the settings to AUTO or default settings. ive seen some of the photos captured by the G900 and im not 100% satisfied with it. still abit blurry/less clear for a 5MP in my opinion. i think i have seen better quality photos produced by Samsung Omnia i900. GPS function i have not need it yet so it doesnt really matter to me for now tongue.gif

hi again, dont know why but whichever phone shop i go and ask about this G900, first thing they would say is the phone abit slow and lag. say many customers complain to them. haha. that day i even tested the phone but i think its ok. but of course new phone less lag la. mayb when starting up only. thanks to all of you who answered me on my questions especially to cutiesbaby312 and panda-man smile.gif to me, most important is WiFI and touchscreen. camera function is just for emergency in case i want to take some photos and i dont have my camera with me. (nothing to be proud of but i own a FS3 tongue.gif) at the same time i want to have at least some quality in the photos and not too disappointing like my n73. biggrin.gif

i agree with what cutiesbaby312 said. browsing with touch screen is alot easier!!

but any reason why they want to push a certain model?

in wi-fi zone g900 can call for free with fring????? pls make this clear anyone who had tried it. happy.gif

i just sold my n73 today. still considering whether should i get the G900. wats the running price for a AP set? say like mayb telstra warranty. jackoz complain it hang while the phone is still new make me again have more doubts lol. and if it's AP set, bring back to shop, they prolly say to u, 'told u it will hang and jam alot. we warned you. cant do much' dry.gif quite sure they said that as i said earlier shopkeepers tell me this phone hangs alot and tell us not to bring back the phone to them if so. sad.gif if touchscreen problem im sure they will accept the faultiness.

i remember last time some1 told me before, if firmware update, warranty void. i used to use nokia phones and for nokia phones, i have heard of this before. every1 pls check before acting.
