co2fan, 06 Jun 2008This is a very good phone after all after trial use with fr... moreI agree and disagree with you.

I agree: some of the argument and insult here is disgrace!
People get personal!

I also though about having a +/- forum, but I guess that is a not always convenient for the potential user - no interaction.

BTW, I would not read any + forum about any product - what I care is whar wrong with the product and can I live with those or not?

In the case of W890:

- small screen
- lack of autofocus
- lack of flash
- lack of Wifi
- lousy battery
too many negatives for especially when the initial street price was for this phone was $500 USD!!!!!!

I think that is demonstrates how SE prices its products - price dropped because few people bought it!
Those few got burned!

As fas as features: K850i for the same price gives a lot more!!!!!!

It is 100 times more reliable!!!!!!!

and you do not have to have a size of an 8-year old hand to dial or send a text message!!!

W890 for rich kids between the age of 7-11!!!

    This is a very good phone after all after trial use with friends. Dunno why some people got all the time to disgrace themselves and make nuisance to this public forum. Probably kidz play...kekeke..

    SE phones are actually better priced with the kind of quality they offer. More valued for money i would say. For example, brands like Nxxxx phones are overpriced for the same quality. And Sxxxxxx phones are also far affordable than Nxxxx phones but much lest functions than SE phones. Its up to individuals to choose what they want.

    A suggestion to the in-charge of these forums...maybe we can split the forum into negatives and positives on the same model...so that people no need to argue. For example, one negative forum on W890i let user to spell out all their discontent and nobody can reply...except on the user ask for help.

    How's that? Everybody juuz go to your favourite brands forum. Even if your favourite brand doesn't continue to produce good phones then dun waste energy to convince people this and that. People have eyes and ears~~

    Cheers~~

        Sony Ericsson makes HIGH QUALITY Phones at Reasonable Prices

        thats just Marketing!

        and Market Share doesnt bring Technology

        Sony Ericsson infact GAINED Market Share! by 10%

        even if they are Number 4 in the sales chart, that doesnt make them bad phones NO Not at all!

        Sony Ericsson makes the BEST and HIGH QUALITY Phones at Reasonable Prices.!

            As I said many times: the K850i was much better phone at its time of release than any SE phone since then.

            SE dropping the ball - poor quality, éousy engineering and higy prices!

            Loosing market shares because people realize SE tries to sell low quality for high price - it is abvious to everybody except SE fans!

            35%!!!!! price drop in 6 weeks is outrages!
            Something wrong!

            SE too greedy or the quality lousy (or both!)

            Check out any phone before you buy it!

                The fact is since SE looses market share while others gaining big time (up to 50%) - it is not a big leap to assume few people really enjoy the W890!

                The 35% price drop in 6 weeks (also a fact!) also indicates the lack of sales.

                You may like the W890 if you do not care about:

                - the lack of autofocus
                - small screen
                - limited memory
                - lack of WIFI
                - weak battery and speaker
                etc.

                If you have a small hand you may even able to use it for text messages.

                  Anonymous, 01 Jan 1970everyone has a choice what phone is suit for his/her needs, but i don't agree that this phone is the best phone, think of it.

                  analyze it side by side.

                  as to nick and mstl they have their point of view.

                  so i guess think first before say anything

                    @mstl

                    you see? SE really have their resolve.

                    even the problem in W910 are GONE!! everyone is happy with SE's phone.

                    thanks to the update service.

                    all about your whining such as user reported blah blah, 93% consument (it's obviously a lie) are the things in the PAST

                    complaining about the camera?

                    wait for 'Patty' to release, it has Walkman phone and cybershot camera.

                        To be fair, i didn't buy this phone, it was free on my upgrade, which was the deciding factor in the end, previously i've had the samsung u600 (crap) the SE K800 (loved it) nokia 6680 (great but too big)

                        I've had a motorola and an LG in the past as well which i wasn't impressed with.

                        The W890 is a smart phone which does the job a phone should, im happy with it however i didn't pay anything for it.

                          :)

                          We try to answer! :)

                          The meantime we talk among ourselves :)

                          It seems you have more than 3-4 phones (load).
                          Why and which ones?

                          How do you like the W890 buttons? can you dial or text message?
                          (do you have extra small hands?)?)

                          Enjoy your phone!!!!! I mean it! You paid a lot for it you deserve some pleasure out of it.

                                is like having a music phone without a standard headphone jack.

                                OH WAIT!

                                  PS I've had loads of different phones from different manufacturers and despite 'shares and percentages' i bought this phone because i liked it and i don't regret that decision.

                                    93% of consumers think other companies make BETTER phones than Sony Ericsson!!!!!

                                    That is the reason SE has only 7-8% market share!

                                    You can argue all day long but this is official data and even SE do not dispute it!

                                    But of course some of you deny the obvious, just to be loyal to a global corporation or .... are you SE employees (PR)?

                                        these are the FACTS!!!!!
                                        Official DATA!!!

                                        Market share for 2008 Q1:

                                        1: ****a has about 40% of the market
                                        2: ******g
                                        3: *******a
                                        4: ** **********s
                                        5: Sony Ericsson has only 7.6% of the market.

                                        By the way, SE lost about 1% (compare to 2007)
