I got the w890 about 2 months back.
Review:
1.Style & slimness is excellent
2.weight & durability is excellent(i unintensionally dropped it and only small scratch is seen.no internal damage due to thin but strong metal casing.)
3.Music quality is excellent
4.Call quality is excellent
5.Camera is good for a music phone
6.Signal reception is ok
7.External sound volume is poor
8.Battery life is good but not exceptional
9.No 3.5mm head phone jack
Battery testing:2hrs music usage,1hr talktime,rest standby a day and battery is at about 78-82%(good enough)

                  I have the espresso black version of this phone. It's interface is pretty good, the mp3 player is decent, the sound quality is pretty good.

                  The ringtone does not work any more which means I miss ALOT of calls. The camera is pretty useless in the dark, during the day its fine.

                  The battery time is not bad but not good either.

                  6/10 for the phone.

                  Does anyone know how to fix the ringtone issue?

                    As i said in my previous post, once you get to the slimness of this phone its addictive.

                      W890 is good choice. If compare wit W595 I'll choose W890. W595 3G using bhind camera, i hate it!^^

                        If you are having trouble getting signal with this phone maybe its your carrier. I have had this phone for many months now and have never had a problem with the signal. The phone occassionally turns itself off sporadically but other than that lol

                          Never had any problems with the phone. No signal or battery issues. For me it is a great phone.

                                  Once you get used to a phone of this size, its hard to go back to bigger phones!

                                      I think metal case like W890 always gets problem with signal reception.
