ann, 09 Jun 2008Hi, I just recently bought this phone. However, I'm not sur... moreIt's probably a network problem.... Problems like that usually are and people run to accuse the phone. It could also be your sim card you might need to replace it

    Dani, 09 Jun 2008@ nick Nokia's are the poor mans Sony Ericsson's Sony... moreNokia, fine, made a cheap phone with the features that have the same or even more than the over priced phone like this w890,

    think of it, if nokia made an expensive phone, how about the features and style wow unreachable. how bout if SE made a cheap phone? can SE do it with a lot of features? maybe its a garbage.

    LOL

      Hi, I just recently bought this phone. However, I'm not sure if anyone has had this problem, but I purchased it off from a UK seller but it was unlocked. However, everytime I receive an incoming call, the network says there's no network coverage and the phone kills my call, yet I can put outgoing calls just fine. I don't know if anyone has had this problem and has it resolved, but if there is can you tell me how you fixed it?

        I do not understand what has happened to SE.

        One lousy phone after another.

        W890 (initial price 500USD)
        - small screen
        - no WIFI
        - no autofocus
        - no flash
        - weak speakerphone
        - weak ring volume
        - horrible battery

        C902
        - small screen
        - lousy camera

        G900
        - triband!!!!
        - lousy camera
        - slow, SLOW processor

        The last chance was the Xpedia but it is too late, and too big :)

        And the fact that Se can not even able to manufacture it - well that confirms that SE has a huge quality control problem.

              The plastic mobile model is "Mummyphone" Come on now u argue with this ...

              To my Knowledge for the past 11 day's i am using W890i i never found any problem towards this phone. Why their lot of confusion towards great product.

              W890i never need any auto focus its is better to use . Last Sunday i taken more than 100 photo's its really better .

              No more complaint about this mobile. people if u have any doubt regarding this phone u can ask towards me.

                  SE Pay attention!

                  I would like to suggest SE:
                  (since many of the staff monitor this website)

                  Give the following rewards to their excellent engineers/managers:

                  third place: who ever came up with the idea not to put flash on the W890.
                  - three days vacation in Bogota (Columbia) plus a hat ATF written on it.

                  second place: who ever came up with the idea not to put autofocus on the W890
                  - 2 weeks in Novosibirsk in January (Siberia, Russia) plus a coat with a sign ˝I am a vegan˝

                  first place: the engineer design the dialing buttons
                  - 1 months in Free Town - in Sierra Leone (with an XXL T-shirt with the Statue of Liberty on it)

                    IT is nice to see that the SE fanatics argue that the #1 seller in the World is making cheap phones :)))

                    But, if they would be expensive I guess that would be the argument - naturally.

                    SE put the W890 on the market for 500 USD!!!

                    Almost nobody bought it so the price came down significantly:
                    but still expensive especially for a phone which:
                    - has small screen
                    - no autofocus
                    - low ring volume
                    - lousy speakerphone
                    - no Wifi
                    - small buttons (adult proof)
                    Kids can be sure the parents will not take their phone!)
                    - weak and problematic battery

                    Of course, some SE fanatics after 8 weeks of ˝Se Rules˝ ˝Se fanatics˝ started to get the point :) - by copy my list and negate the meaning.

                    SE if this is the best you can do - please get out from this business or hire back those who used to design your phones.

                      SE phones are for the elite class...
                      If you don't have enough money, go for nokia..
                      Most phones roaming around are the common, cheap nokia's and etc.
                      When you put up your SE, you will stand out..

                      ^^ I Agree

                      @ nick

                      SE already provide Great MUSIC In-Ear EARPHONES! AFTER ALL ITS A MUSIC PHONE....! every MP3 Player out there comes with Good Earphones!!!!!!!!
                      so do WALKMAN PHONES!!!!!!

                      @ msTL

                      Market Share doesnt bring Technology LOL!,
                      Technology SE bring along with QUALITY!
                      W890i has both Quality and Technology...

                      remember this?


                      - small screen - Its Pefect for its Price Range
                      - lack of autofocus - Its a Walkman Phone(not Cyber-Shot)
                      - lack of flash - Again its a WALKMAN Phone!!!
                      - lack of Wifi - Its not 'High-End' if you want a High-End Walkman and Wi-Fi W960i is the way to go!!
                      - lousy battery - If you Switch 3G OFF, the Battery Life increses up to 5-6 Days!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
                      - Low Volume - Well its a Slim Phone, low volume would is the case with most Slim Phones!!!!!

                      msTL dude just chill out...

                          Well what can i say about this super slim phone...its stylish and sexy! Has some really good features on it!
                          The speaker volume when its on loud is abit low compared to other Walkman phones ive had in the past but the music playing through earphones is quality especially when you play around with equalizer and add more bass to it!
                          The only bad things id say about this phone is ... the reception is totally rubbish, i spend half of my time at the window when sending a text or phoning someone which is annoying but ive been told its a common fault as the signal anton is at the bottom of phone instead of the top! I mean how stupid is that!
                          Even though i personally think the camera does take some good pictures on it 3.2mega pixel but the down side is there isn't no auto focus or flash! but you have to remember that this is a Walkman phone, not a Cyber-Shot, and its focus is music.

                          However, im sticking to my silver Samsung G600! but i would recommend the w890 if you want a phone that looks nice, light weight and is used mainly for music.

                                You do not understand - SE pushing the limits, they are on the cutting edge.

                                SEś goal is to release phones with the least amount of features for the most amount of money.

                                Who needs autofocus, flash for a 3mp camera? :))) all these for 300-500USD?

                                This phones for rich kids! (age 8-12)
                                (do not care about quality, small buttons etc)
