I'm really happy with the G900

27 Jul 2009 Anonymous

10 out of 10

I've used this phone since January and I absolutely love it.


I've read all the comments and I must say I'm surprised because some people said that they have had issues with the phone, and I HONESTLY can tell that my unit is perfectly fine. It has no lag at all, it's really fast and it performs great.


I've had so much fun playing a ton of amazing games with stunning graphics, I have like 40 applications on the device.


Also it is very handy for every day tasks, and that's something I wasn't even expecting.


I would recommend people to check their units, because as I mention before, mine is completely fine.


Overall it's one of the best phones out there, and I have tried a lot of them, incluiding the iPhone 3GS, the HTC Diamond, the G1, Blackberry Storm, among other. It's definitely worth checking out.





Features
Capable of high quality graphics, with OpenGL games.
Touch Interface
Fully Customizable

My phone

Hi,


 I was using this phone for the past 8 months, just after its launched.There are many cons than pros for me.One of the main thing is its very slow.I told this problme to the sony authorised service center and they reinstalled the OS still there is no change.Another problem is the strange behaviour of the touch panel.Sometimes it wont works, after 2-3 switch off's and on it will work.The same thing will happen after 2-3 weeks.Another problem with this phone is that we cant record a talk using this phone.After paying this much amount there are no enough features for this phone.So think twice before buying this phone.





Easy to hande,Nice look,thin
very slow,cannot record a phone call,strange behaviour,untrusty touchpad

Very disappointing

18 Jul 2009 Simon Mortensen

I bought the G900 because my main phone (K850i) was sent to repair. I have been using SE phones for the last 4-5 years, but I really had no expectations, since it was only supposed to be my spare phone.


 


I must admit that it looked very nice indeed, but then I realized one disappointment after the other, starting already when I turned on the device. The first thing that struck me was the lag. It was so extremely slow, that I actually thought it had frozen, but after several minutes it was ready to use.


 


The touch feature works quite good, only the rosponse were overall incredibly slow (and I mean VERY slow), and after a few tries, I simply chose to use the physical keys insted. During the next 3-4 days I had a series of strange experiences, such as no illumination of keys while writing in darkness, constantly illumination of both keypad and display while charging, constantly appearing message promts about local time settings, which led to an annoying guide asking for different information (and this is really annoying when you are interrupted composing an sms, for instance) and finally I found it really strange that my contacts from the k850i coulnd't be syncronized to the G900. Of course I could copy them to the phone, but they were shown in some very creative ways making it really really HARD to find the right contact.


 


Most of the features on this phone, including the new on screen menu for instance, are of course liked or disliked by different individual persons, so I don't wanna go into a deeper describtion of that, but I never found it logic, so I was very pleased to recieve my good old K850i after rep, and overall I found this phone so bad, that it couldn't even serve as my spare phone, so I recommend you try it out in real life before throwing money after it.





Dedicated keypad lock button
Primary and secondary language settings
Slow (!)
Annoying pop-ups
Annoying interface
Useless touch-feature
Unlogic menus
"Strange behavior" - it never felt natural
