Sony Ericsson P910

I own a P910 and i have to mention some:
1)it's speaker is louder than other mobilephones, louder than any nokia or else
2)the os is fast for a 32RAM pda, i use Sman to close all apps, if you don't use a taskmanager p910 won't respond well, and it will drain the battery very fast
3)it's true about the contact management, what plaguemaister said is true, and another thing that's annoying is that you can't copy all the phone contacts at the same time on the SIM, you have to copy one contact at a time, that's very annoying
4)if you write an sms and smbd call's you, it is possible to lose the text...
5)i find the keyboard very useful, not as he mentioned, i have very large hands and thumbs and i can handle it very well
6)the battery life i have to say that it's very good, in less usage conditions it lasted for 9 (nine) days :). But if you use it often it lasts for 4-5 day. That's my case (my p910 is only 2 months old). The next time you complain about the life battery just be sure you used Sman and closed all apps after you finished with. The unclosed apps will drain your battery. My screen brightness is set to 20%.
7)i never faced the signal problem because i don't often use the elevator :)
8)i never faced the calendar sync problem because i don't sync it to my pc
9)the most annoying thing that i hate at p910 is the fact that the apps are not closing themselves. For example the camcorder hasn't got a "exit" button, when you press jog-dial down the camcorder runs in background but you can't see that and it slows down the OS. That's why many of you complain about the "slower OS"...So for all apps that haven't got a "exit" button you have to use Sman, Taskman. You must enter it every time you have "closed" an app and close it for real in Sman. That's a very very bad thing. p800 faces the same problem, as well as p900...Hope that p990 will be more organised.
10)there are a lot of apps for it and that's nice
i am satisfied with my p910 even it has some +es and -es. no mobile phone is perfect, that's for sure, many s-e face a lot of problems but we can't say that nokia doesn't.
if i would have to choose again a mobile phone with that cost, i'd go for p910, i like the touchscreen and jog-dial very much.
it's a robot, it's not perfect.........

hi good friend. is a fact that Nokia is producine some grate phones.
but see wather any of them have verity of applicationd as p910 do or p990.can you commare the sound quality/camera (mp3)of Nokia with SE.
Rethink to whome you do your hiddne marketing
For me its very cleare you do it for Nokia.if you use your phone only to talk and for SMS/MMS you are partly correct.
To open which application SE 910 took long time.I fiends the OS respond realy quick.

Attn: Plaguemeister

What you did is "Black Propaganda Marketing"
It's marketing ploy wherein rival companies posts ridiculous statements against a product and in this case the SE 910 . You have to remember this phone is a couple of years old and in technology years its about 20 years. Right? Specially in cell phones just look at Nokia it's like every month there is a better phone fro their previous one ie. the N Series.
Now for the P910 common you have to admit it was and is still good phone. Not perfect and I dont think there's a phone out there is and if somebody is telling you there is he is crazy! And to marketing theory or conspiracy games you are saying well youre watching to many movies!!!

For the friend who thinks about Viral marketing.

What is the phone you sugges
N90 has a good camera
N91 goos musick player
N93 Better camera
Do you fiends it esey to use thiese phones as a business/educational tool
Well it depends on for what you ues your phone.For some it is Nokia for some it is SE
Is depends ont on the Viral marketing but on the personality and applications.for me the best P910i and P990. do a application to application analysis.

This is the worst phone I've ever bought. Biggest problem is that you can't hear someone on it if you are in a place with even moderate background noise. The microphone input chops up the speaker and you cannot hear what the person on the other line is saying. It's the worst phone I've ever owned. Avoid it like the plague.

Ever hear of Viral Marketing? That's when the vendor pays a company to log on to opinion sites like this and pose as real people to push a product.

I'm a real user of this product and I can tell you that it's the worst one I've ever owned.

I'll give you solid examples of why it's so bad. I challenge readers to get this from the advocates of this phone. It's hard to believe anyone would actively support buying this if they've ever used it themselves.

I write this in the hopes that other consumers avoid the mistake I made... trusting the voices on many sites like this which advocate this poor poor poor piece of expensive equipment:

Most reviews of this phone, I'm convinced are submitted by Sony-Ericsson. They lack details on why they say the phone is good. I'll give examples of why the phone is the worst I've ever owned. Looking at any other review you will find nebulous examples. Here are mine. They are specific and undeniable:

0. Poor Sound quality:
1. Poor Sound quality:
2. Poor sound quality: I can't emphasize this enough. If I am in a pub or on a train, I cannot hear the person on the other end of the conversation. This is because the phone picks up on the background noise and chops up the received sound. If you are in a restaurant, on a city street, in a slightly noisy office setting, the phone will not allow you to carry on a conversation. I've never had a phone do this before owning this phone.
3. Slow OS: This OS is painfully slow. When you click on an option, it takes forever to activate.

4. Poor Contact Management: If you receive a call from a number you don't have in your contact database, the phone doesn't give you the option of adding a number to a contact you already have. So, if you buddy Dave calls you from his new home phone and you already have him in your contact list, you will be forced to either create a duplicate entry or write the number down and manually add it to his contact entry.

5. Texts received during a call disable call hang up: If you are on a call and you receive a text message, the phone goes straight into text message mode. Pressing the "hang up" button opens the text message. Once in the text message menu, you have to navigate several levels out before you have the option to end your call again. This has happened to me several times while leaving a voice mail message and I thought I hung up, but really didn't. This is a wonderful way for phone companies to get extra minutes off of you.

6. Keyboard too small: The keyboard provided is worthless. I've tried to use it a couple of times, but it's so tiny that it's practically worthless. I've used it only a couple times and that was all I could stand.

7. Battery Life Horrible: The screen drains the battery faster than a alcoholic drains a wine bottle. You cannot see what's on the screen if it's in energy save mode.

8. Poor reception: I cannot use this phone in my elevator. I've lived in my apartment for 3 years and have used 3 different mobile phones while living there (from the same carrier as this phone). This phone will not receive calls from my elevator. It's the first one I've ever owned that won't work.

9. Long latency for reception recovery: Once I get out of a poor reception area (elevator), it takes about 35 seconds before the phone will register that the reception is better. Even if it is in an area with good reception, it will not allow you to make a call unless it has refreshed it's reception rating.

10. Web Surfing doesn't work: I was able to surf the web maybe 10 times before I started getting errors from the operating system. I called support and they encouraged me to install the older OS version. This worked for a while, then the errors started again. Go ahead and google this error. You'll see tons of them and no support from the vendor on how to correct it: "Program Closed: Program Main Reason Code KERN-EXEC Reason number 3". When you press continue, you get the Oh-so-informative "Information: Unknown Error" message.

11. Texts lost mid-stream: If you are typing a text and you open the flap to use the keyboard or other text entry mode, you are kicked out of the text mode. Conversely, if you are entering text for an SMS with the flap open and you close it for key pad entry, you are kicked out of SMS mode. The message is saved in the Draft folder automatically, but you can only access this folder with the flap open.

12. Texts lost if call received: If someone rings you while you are typing a text, you are kicked out of text mode. If you pick up the call, your message is saved in the draft folder. The only way to reach the draft folder is to open the flap.

13. Cannot end a call when engaged with other application: if the flap is open and you are typing a text... or playing a game or whatever, you cannot hang up the phone. You have to close the flap to do this, in which case, anything you were doing can be lost, especially when SMSing. Again, you have to open and access draft mode which is only accessible with the flap open.

14. Calendar faulty when synching: I have attempted to synch my calendar in Outlook with my phone. For some reason, there is a 2-6 hour gap between the times in my calendar on my PC and the dates in my phone. I've called support and looked online to try and resolve this, but again, no solution is provided. Having worked for support centers in IT before, I know how to change all the settings suggested. None work. Re-synching results in multiple entries in both PC and phone. Because of the time difference, this is exacerbated when re-synching. If you have a recurring meeting, you have to manually erase every single meeting from your phone or it will wake you up at 3am with a loud alarm telling you about that marketing campaign meeting to happen in 7 hours.

15. MMS doesn't work: I took a photo one time and tried to send it to a friend and got another application error the vendor could not explain away.

i'd go for p910 if i were you. i-mate is using windows mobile and has less apps than symbian. 3250 it's new on the market and it's apps are not compatible with the older S60 series. p910 has a lot of apps on the net.
p910 was launched in 2004 4quarter or the beginning of 2005.

Ive been using this phone for 6 months and all I can say it's simply the BEST pda phone! Ive read hundreds of reviews before I bought this, compared different phones and read thier reviews and I came to the conclusion it's the best out there as a whole. I dont like the look of the new P990.

this phone is the best trust me i have had this phone for about 6mths before selling it for a w800 and trust me i miss the valuable features that the phone comprised of trust me.I am not saying that the w800 is a bad phone its really a good phone but the p910 has some really impressive features that the w800 does not carry. Such as the fact that p910 can be for absulutly anything in terms of programs
