It is out only a few weeks but practically already outdated.
(why?)
There are two more phones (c902, G900)in the pipeline and will be available soon which better than W890. And these are both from SE.
From other manufactures there are even more already out or coming out soon.
Shortcomings:
- small screen
- no autofocus
- no flash
- poor quality video
- poor quality camera
- weak speaker phone
- lack of touch screen
- lack of GPS
- weak and unreliable battery (reported by many users)
- screen problems reported by many people
- limited memory
- small buttons
- no Wifi
- poor replay (music) quality (it is also reported by independent reviews)
Luckily, the price keep falling - it is below 350USD now.
When it gets below 300 USD around 250USD then we can say it is an okay chic phone. After all it has no special features.

Too small for a man... I dropped twice because it slipped from my hand...
Overall, it's a good phone except that sometime for no reason people cannot reach me and phone has not network...
Camera not too bad for day pic...

Yes, buy this for a weak a go...Nice one, still buttons to small for me, but have very good touch so it still good one for sms-typing.
Question: Anyone know what kind of Videofiles ex. AVI, mpeg,wmf, who works in this phone ???

My sister just bought this phone, and i just bought the blackberry curve. This phone is indeed very nice, but i feel that it is TOO thin. it probably feels very nice in a lady's hand, but my hand is just too big for this phone, and my fingers have to flex too much to hit the keys. No, this phone is not touch screen. I previously used the motorola e6 rokr, and personally, i feel that touch-screen is extremely annoying. I hope this helps!

Hi Girls,
Sorry to hear (again) about the battery problems. Nothing new but it is said to see that SE does not recall the batteries. I guess they have nothing to replace them with.
The good news that the price still dropping (350 USD), soon it will be at the level where most boyfriends can afford it. (for their girlfriend´s ;)
Now, SE has to fix the battery and the screen problems and drop the price another 100USD and we have a nice little phone for us.
I wonder how long more it will take!

i was seriously gonna get dis fone, but afta readin ur'ls opions i got 2nd thoughts. I was confident it would b a good buy coz its the upgrade model 2the w880, so i expected Sony to sort out all the faults. im currently using W810i which has never given me any problems & this is the upgrade from the w800i

@Lxkp:
I dont know about the speaker, but it doesnt have an active screen mode for missed events, you have to press the volume rocker in order to see the clock and the missed event notification.
@39x4:
Sorry, but the phone is not a touchscreen phone...
