            it's a great slim paper weight phone.. very cool too have.... but my w890i has a problem... it slows other phone functions during playback... sometimes it even restarts and sets theme and ringtones to default... hope sony ericsson gets a soltion to this problem...

              I had this phone
              Loved it appearance and stylish design, but was an embarassment as it kept restarting

              Software can't be upgraded
              STAY AWAT

              Makes nice paper-weight though

                Anonymous, 24 Jun 2009i am sure your phone is not normal sony phone.it hv some th... morethanks for the comments, but i am sure my phone is a regular SE phone.
                the Vodafone icon is there only because it had the Vodafone firmware for some reason.
                when newer firmware was flashed, it was gone (but unfortunately so did some of the languages).

                the question is how the fimrware language is added?
                maybe it is a different file that the store can add to the latest firmware which they do have...

                  Slash, 23 Jun 2009firmware update - HELP !!! i am having problems updating... morei am sure your phone is not normal sony phone.it hv some thing to do with other brands tht's y those icons and all .

                  i will suggest tht if u want best performance than nerver use sony phones in which software hv been changed by other companies in some way.

                  in those phones in which sony sofware hv been altered by other companies usually suffer from poor sound

                      firmware update - HELP !!!

                      i am having problems updating my firmware.
                      i have the phone about a year now and did not manage to do it even once.
                      SE SW update service constantly says my phone is having latest firmware.
                      i do not have latest firmware!!!
                      i have 1200-9164 R1FA030 080504
                      i know new firmwares link R1FA035 and R1FA037 are available.

                      i suffer from bugs that are resolved for a long time now - e.g.
                      low speaker volume and bad sound quality
                      phone hang occasionally and do not respond for many seconds

                      few more details about my phone:
                      1. i basically bought it SIM FREE unlocked in a shop.
                      2. i have a "Vodafone live" icon on the menu
                      (not sure if this means the phone is BRANDED or not)
                      3. i have HEBREW (my mother tongue) language installed in the phone.

                      more efforts that i made:
                      i went to the store and they downloaded latest firmware from SE flashing my phone.
                      after it was flashed with newer firmwares the Vodafone icon was gone but so did the HEBREW.
                      they said the newer firmwares does not support HEBREW so they moved me back to my original firmware.

                      why can't i have the bugs fixed and still have my language?
                      please help, i love this phone but suffer from severe bugs that are fixed for ages.

                      i was also happy to know more about my fimrware:
                      is it BRANDED?
                      whay does all the figures in the firmware name state?

                      thanks, Slash.

                                  SE just released Sony Media Go 1.1 as their media software.

                                  It's slightly better than the previous media software but it still sucks compared to iTunes!

                                  Can't just drag n drop songs into Media Go and have software create playlists like iTunes which is iTunes greatest and easiest feature!

                                  Also, can't drag n drop playlists into phone's media card like iTunes to the iPod.

                                  Transferring files take a L... O... N... G... time and sometimes slows down the PC (NO KIDDING!)

                                  Avoid SE's W Walkman phones and stick with the Picture phones!!

                                      LIOW, 08 Jun 2009how many hrs the battery if i use the music playBattery usage depends on how you use the music player and whether or not any other apps are playing.

                                      Turn OFF 3G, if used.
                                      Turn OFF any other apps in background.
                                      Do Not use features (i.e. FFW or Rev or equalizer)

                                      The phone should last anywhere between 9-18 hours (BST 40 battery gives you a slight more time but the phone's back will bulge a bit since it's slightly thicker than the standard BST-33 battery).

                                        Without doubt the worse and most annoying phone I've ever owned. I'm on to my 4th replacement now - the others keeped powering themselves off, as does the current one I have which is due to be binned as my contract expires. The buttons are way to small, response is slow, you will go through countless handsfree kits as the plug breaks and that also effects the charger plugs too. One plus point is the music player which I'd expect from Sony other then that rubbish. Avoid like the plague
