Sony Ericsson G900 User Reviews

Overall this phone has great feature like WiFi, Edge, BlackBerry Connect, 5.0 Mega Pixel Camera, Slim & Sleek body, Touch Screen, Good Organizer, however the some features lack quality like Touch pad is very sensitive, problems with headphone socket, Slow navigation within Messages, Poor In-built speaker.

I just bought the SE G900, the first thing i noticed is the very poor battery performance, it doesnt even last a day under light-medium usage, if i used it to listen to songs, it drains the battery even quicker, and im not pleased, after a second thought, maybe i should have gone for a another phone like the G705, im only using this primarily for listening songs, Wi-Fi etc, i just changed my battery, see if it could last more than 1 day under medium usage, but i really doubt the battery performance, really regretted buying it..., You can see more Cons then Pros, i would recommend thinking thrice before buying it, thats what i didnt do and so regretted it

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.

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.

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.

i have been using this mobile for the past 9 months since its launch. i selected this model after a lot of research and am pretty happy with this mobile. after my suggestion even my friend got it. but both of us faced similar problems within the same span of time.
first and foremost the plastic strip around the navigation key peeled of for both of us even when we handled the mobile with atmost care. the strip had connection with the touch panel and hence the entire touch panel has to be changed. it was replaced under warranty by the company but after a lot of argument!!!!!!!
the mobile is pretty slow even after upgrading the software thrice.
now a days i face a peculiar prob of the mobile getting hot even after using it for a while! even after servicing this prob prevails!! hope it doesn affect the motherboard unlike my previous W810.
though it has all these short coming, i like my mobile a lot. coz of its immense features.

I've had this phone for about two months now. And I have nothing bad to say about it.
It has a great camera, media player and with Wi-Fi it's an awesome all in one, small, handheld device.
Altought I have to say that people have told me that the old Firmware was buggy and laggy, so I would recommend to update it.

It is very good mobile phone... WHY ISN'T DISPLAY BIGGER?!?!?!

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.

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!

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.

hi i have brought G900 it is very good and have all the features what young generation is looking for........

G900 has a greet look, feel and design when I bought it I favorite it over iPhone since I am not used to touch screen and G900 have both features together which played for me as a mean to get used to the touch screen. But I think SE has not consider some features which if it has include it in G900 this phone could be the King of all phones. Features such as GPS became essential in today's high end mobiles and HSDPA is a requirement for fast internet access.

Seems like an absolute value for money - if of course the estimated release price is right. We don't know yet if it becomes a GPS device with the use of GPS Enabler HGE-100. Are we sure on the 8gb memory expansion capabality?

this phone is nice. got everything. a VERY GOOD camera a nice look and wifi and all the rest. it is simular to the w960i but this camera is better. but the w960i has 8gb. so its a hard choice. but its also like the p1. the g900 is the camera phone the w960i is the music phone and the p1 is the the buisness phone. the p1 is quite ugly though. over all i would get the g900 but i realy realy like the w960i. so its very close but the g900 might hav won by a little bit. ive not seent he g900 but ive seen the w960i and it is very nice. realy like the way it has a keyboard as well as touch screen because it is more conveinient for texting and things like that..

wat are the specs which are btr than w960i?

Excellent combination of design and features. Am impatient to get it on hand. Had almost decided to go for W960i..but these specs are undoubtedly eons ahead!!

Great design with many features !
