This phone is crap.
I had the w880 and loved it very much and upgraded to the w890.
From new, out of the box, It says INACTIVE SIM and then switches itself off randomly. Sometimes 5-6 times in a row. During this time the power button doesn't work. Must remove the battery. This happens about 5 times per day and sometimes when it's only lying on the desk. I'm not even using or handling it, then it shuts down.

Software upgrade didn't work. My service provider swapped my phone out with a refurbished 2nd hand unit which did the same. Now with the 2nd swap out, looks like it's fine now.

Very disappointing.

                        I have use this phone for 1years. It's good phone n good sound. the speaker not to loud but clear sound.
                        I think it's a characteristic of sony phone, sometime restart by itself.
                        I've use walkman from the first w800i until w902 same characteristic phone.

                                        after sometime the phone starts to turn off and freeze, as the time goes on the phone is more difficult to manege with. not the gratest phone, but is good for the usual things such as calling people!
