I had bought the 6280, after I sold my W900 actually, its a good fone, but one thing I didnt like about it was the media player, Its a big downgreade compared to the W900's walkman, but otherwise the fone is good, much faster than the W900's UI, no WSOD problems, and isnt as chunky either, However the worst thing about it is: its a Nokia (I'm an SE fan), also this might help> http://forums.se-nse.net/index.php?showtopic=2929&hl=

it was a failure as a product and SE generated very less revenue from it. and if someone is going to quote me and say it was an "experimental" phone. give me a link where its officially said by SE that it indeed was official, otherwise, dont bother saying it because its not true.

most of the people you're going to see saying W900 is great havnt even touched it in real life. it looks good on paper and thats where people judge phones from. they praise it but they cant afford it, and thats the reason for W900's failure. It was too expensive for what it provided. Similar screen to K750(just bigger dimension), similar W features as W550, similar camera as K750 and a geforce chip which the cheap-ass RAZR MAXX has. Not to mention it was huge, and i mean HUGE! 26mm thick is not small

if u like turning around displays, then maybe nokia n90 has some common marks with w900. it has no walkman feature, but the media player is really good. the cam is almost the same as w900, but not that good.

ha..ha...QVGA....give me what are u smoking because it seems to have an effect ....W900 screen similar to that found in K750?...wtf....does QVGA sounds familiar? ...or the fact that the LCD found in the K750 was 1.8 inch compared to 2.2 inch in W900?...oh...and the camera is not the same..i mean its capabilities in video recording plus that u have the option to turn off the AF and spot photometry;)...anyway...in SE portofolio there isn't any phone to match W900 in multimedia...look at the N91 ...worse camera but with good sound at least

Regards

Lemme make one thing clear before i continue: you own a W900 and will do anything to proove it was worth its money.
Now, i clearly mentioned the dimensions difference b/w K750 and W900 so dont be a hero by mentioning them again. QVGA makes absolutely no difference, its just so that the size increase can be compensated, obviously you cant have 176x220 screen on a 2.4'' screen. And what is it that you're talking about video capabilities? Sure as far as SE is concerned QVGA recording is ground breaking but the market begs to differ. There are hell of a lot cheaper phones than W900 offering BETTER features at an affordable rate. HINT : N73!
W900 is still selling for over 500$ and that is utter BS to buy it at that price.

well my W900 is finally retiring after a solid 17 months useage. 1 firmware update and almost no issues at all with it apart from a tired battery.

to be honest with its form factor there are no direct alternatives. it was a niche phone on release and still holds it value now.

i would, buy another one if they made a thinner version with some upgraded specs.
