my pro and cons of this phone

1 Oct 2008 NP

9 out of 10

The phone looks good, feels good and simply is good...
I believe that sony has achieved exactly what they wanted.
A phone that is full of multimedia pleasure, but offers some extras.





- Speedy navigation
- Fast camera, the autofocus is really fast and good
- good image quality
- good video quality
- good web browser speed (for a mobile device)
- good battery life, in despite what some say or perhaps i'm just lucky xD
- touchscreen !!! and it does an excellent job
- it takes 2 sec to load a new message, even after it is the ram memory. If not it takes even longer.
- the default theme is verry laggy (but the other ones are OK ^^)
- quite laggy when opening apps for the first time, but once in the ram memory they work jsut fine :)

Poor Battery Life

31 Aug 2008 Rahul Arora

9 out of 10

ive been using this phone for a month now, works perfectly!
but the only problem im facing is the battery life.
my phone doesnt last a day.
i had a nokia n73 before and surprizingly that phone lasted 1.5 days as compared to g900's 1 day max.
if i talk via the bluetooth handsfree, talktime is reduced to 3 hrs
even if i dont use wifi, bluetooth, etc and perform basic phone functions like sms and calling, it doesnt last a day.
I would not recommend this phone to someone who has a talktime of 4-5 hrs in a day.
other that the battery life, g900 rocks!





Good built
both Touch and keypad functions
decent camera
no compatibility problems with pc suite
poor battery life
a little difficulty in accessing functions
interface could have been made more user friendly

Not as easy to use as it could have been.

30 Aug 2008 Brian Brigg

7.3 out of 10

Recently purchased the phone because I was attracted by it's compact size and feature list but found that many of the features are difficult to access compared with earlier models by Sony Ericsson. The menu system is not as easy to use as the old P910i and P990i models and the smaller screen makes the onscreen keyboard (my favorite input method) is trickier with the smaller letters.


The physical size makes it impossible to include a stylus as long as the older models had, unless you want a fiddly telescoping type, so my big hands don't fit it very well. The combination of short stylus and smaller screen emphasizes the problem. That is a trade off that you need to weigh up for yourselves, I had the chance to try a demo model and I thought that I will probably get used to it.


If only I could find the profiles menu.





Small physical size and weight
Great battery life
Touch screen
Clear calls
Wi Fi
Loud ring tones (useful as an alarm for heavy sleepers like me)
No profiles menu
Screen washes out in sunlight
Poorly arranged menus for some functions
Small screen size makes a lot of things hard to see
Fiddly battery cover and SIM card holder
