Worst Customer Service Ever!!!

3 Apr 2008 Mike

1 out of 10

I bought a K790a last year. After 6 months of owning this phone it suddenly stopped working one day. The screen would flash on and off and nothing seems to work.

I sent it to Sony Ericsson to fix it and they sent it back to me saying it's water damaged even though I'm 100% sure it didn't touch water anywhere. The white strip inside the phone is still white. They claimed it could be humidity from the air that caused corrosion. How bad is this phone's design that it can be damaged from humidity??? That's just ridiculous.

So now my phone is dead and they won't fix it. They wasted my time trying to call them and sending them the phone. Very rude service reps too. Worst customer support ever!!!

Very Good phone

I bought this phone in INDIA (unlocked) , started using it in the USA with T-Mobile.
Positives of the cam:
- Very good reception (compared to other T-mobiles in the same area)
- Very very clear screen (high resolution)
- 3.2mp cam (replaces digi cams to some extent)
- Music is very good (no bass)

Negatives:
- Bulky

And above all, many people asked abt this phone when i carry it around, almost became a status symbol :)

Gr8 Phone

I bought this phone for 19,500(Pakistani Rupee) or US $325. I have been using this phone for just 6 days but this phone has totally amazed me. The Camera quality is excellent and the Xenon flash is very useful for taking pictures in low lighting conditions. The flash is sooooooooo bright, even if u take pics in complete darkness it looks like u have taken in daylight...believe me!!!!!!!!!. The Red eye reduction is a very handy feature, when activated the flash will flicker.

The thing that has disappointed me is the sound quality. Its not loud like the K750. But still its average.

It plays MP4 Format in 320x240 Resolution. Well i will rrecommend dis phone to all tech junkies around da globe.
