I am NOT a SE fan AT ALL as they always have the same design,too boring and my first & last SE was actually back to 6 yrs ago (T610).
BUT really IMPRESS with this ones.Just got it 3 days ago,charged for 10 hrs and today is they 3rd day,I still got 40% of batt life.
Initially was thinking to get the black one (outstanding colour) but Aus only has silver.Lucky,not getting the black ones.The silver's button is great no issue with fading colour.
One of the best thing is it starts up so quick which is unbelievable.Got a N91,takes ages to start up compare to W880 which only takes 3-5 sec.
Not too sure about the quality of the camera.Look from the screen itself,it just like N91.I guess as this is a W-Series NOT a K-Series phone.If you want a CAMERA phone then get K800i.
Lag is not a problem in this phone,I mean overall.However just for myself,not sure abt others,there was a minimal lag when I m in SHORTCUTS.
Loudspeaker is great no crackling issue.Sometimes really annoying when you activate loudspeaker, it has high pitch.Moreover receiver can listen crystal clear in speaker phone mode.
A downside which is you can't transfer music thru Bluetooth (only cable).Moreover,with CABLE the transfer speed isn't that great compare to Moto A780(Linux) one of the best creation of Moto.
Nevertheless,I really really have a different view to SE eversince I got this W880i. SE GOOD WORK,you start taking my heart away from Nokia, Moto & Siemens. Keep it up!

actually, it was 298 euros (50 dollars ups priority pack and insurance included), and in two days it was at my door from HK.
i bought it on ebay and flashed it with 7 euros into spanish
here in Spain I would never pay the 480 euros they ask for it and in the color I don't prefer.

my silver one has lasted 3 complete days playing, bluetooth and cacble charging it with music...testing it....and that was with the little charge it brought itself.
Let it die and then recharge for 8-12 hours non stop and see what happens

very bad phone, buttons are too small, camera is very poor for a 2m, the paint comes of the buttons to easy, the open slot in the side for charging catches too much dirt( because its too big) and sometimes wont charge, it becomes slow when u fill it up with music. All in all DONT buy this terible phone, sent it back and got a samsung u600 which is the best phone i have ever had

W888 is official only sold in China, however you can find it in black circuits everywhere.
Please go for W880.
W880 has Chinese input as well, if you buy the Chinese/English version of it. Traditional, simplyfied chinese and English.

This phone is very smart and nice to be owned. Two things are not found in this phone, the radio and light flash. The sound is very sharp but unforunately it is very low that sometimes I can not hear the tone.
I hope its screen becomes larger to reach 2 inch.

Hey guys, i'm looking at buying this phone and was set on the black one till i read here about orange paint on keys coming off. Can anyone else confirm or shed some light on this? Was it a one off thing on esato or has more people experienced it too?
Thanks guys!!
