I have the Nokia n90 and when I transfer actual mp3 songs and save them to the gallery, I can set them as ringtones for different callers. Does the k790(i)(a) allow this? I have to say that is one aspect I love about phones, being able to customize how you want them, so if I cannot do this to the SE k790, it will be a real kicker.

    Been using the K790i for about a month.
    Updated the software twice. It still hangs or behaves eratically. Stay away from this phone until the software problems are solved.
    Its a pain. To update software you need to go to the service depot. if you use the built in software update, it will say no updates available, where as if you check a new software update is available. .......
    Wake SE......

      Being a happy owner of this phone, i will try to answer some questions and comments.

      Headphones are not the same as w800 headphones. They are stereo earbuds, similar to ipod headphones, not like the rubber ones that came with w800i. They standard headphones do not have a 3.5mm jack.

      My k790i is sitting face down now, and I very much enjoy the way the back of the phone looks, and it impresses everyone else as well, every aesthetic aspect of the phone.

      K790i is capable of sending any file (contacts, songs, movies, games, whatever) via bluetooth or IR to other sony ericsson phones very easily, I send back and forth with my dad's p990i all the time. I have not tried sending files with non-sony ericsson phones.

      Music player is better than that of w800i.

      Features of this phone are outstanding. Highly reccomended.

        I totally agree with Allen that the back of the camera is ugly. The quality of the video recording is also bad (177x144). I would buy this phone if this phone does not have this problems.

          Great phone but I prefer samsung d900, similar properties but d900 has a better look and thinner . . .

                Guys !
                The 750i which i am using now, does not allow one to sent pictures after the picture is shot, to be sent via IR or BT.
                ie., take a picture. close the camera. go to menu & select camera icon. It will say "Open the lens cover". On the top right it has an view option menu. On clicking that it will display the picture taken. Now select send.
                It will open phone list menu to send via MMS.
                It does not allow the picture to be send via IR or bluetooth.
                The picture ,saved in memory card does not show in pictures folder or in any folder. So how can one send this picture via IR or BT ?
                Again does smiliar problem exist in 790i/800i too ?

                                  Can anyone tell me what kind of headphones come with the K790a. I like the jack that came with my W800i. It let me use my own headphones. Is it the same jack with the K790a?

                                    hi all, i'm planning to buy this phone.. it looks great but juz one question I have in mind for keeping me from buying it, can k790 use w810 theme like "equalizer" or "orbital" but with full animated version? (the icons will changed also and become completely different look), thank you...

                                        @T , i ve used a variety of nokias up to N73 till now 6233 in Series 40 has the best sound in loudness but to me SE always has better equipped with sound effects no doubt k790/800 have lower volume in speakers but its not meant to be, take most Walkmans except w800 all have better in speakers as well , u can email me your questions
