SE must think the phone's flawless to not have released a firmware update by now. The phone has a bunch of issues to be resolved like how typing is super duper slow when you're finding contacts or when you're in media. And how Google maps freezes causing the task manager key to malfunction, or how videos don't play smoothly when you autorotate and the long pause during transition between 2 videos which then plays with irregular speed to the point that exiting and restarting the media player is the only way to go. Not to mention the camera freezes everytime I switch from auto to twilight landscape. Oh, and while I'm at it, i hope SE would place the fastport back out of harm's way because having it on the side is just not practical. But first thing's first, fw update please!

@mode - I must be one of the lucky ones .... my w902 has none of the
issues yours seems to have with typing or video ! In fact of all the A2's
I have had this one seems to be more stable than any of them.
@HxH - I haven't missed a call yet, so it's loud enough for me :-]

Well I've ordered one anyway and should be getting it today!
Are you coming from a C905 Marty?
I have both devices, look at M-R for a comparison.
The W902 is a decent device, but feels outdated compared to C905 imo, i've got one scratch on the LCD cover, so it's not a mineral glas as T650 had!
The lens cover is fine though.
Yeah, coming from a C905. Had it for a day now and really like it. The buttons are great for texting, really nice keypad compared to the C905 which was crap.
I bought a Martin Fields protector in advance so I shouldn't be having any problems with scratches.
The menus do hang now and again, but then agaon so did the C905 so I don't see it as a problem.
The battery cover is loose, but very easily solved by just getting a piece of paper, fold it back on itself and put it behind the cover. No more movement! Used the same trick on my old K810i, works a treat.
It reminds me of when I had a W810i, so I'm loving it right now. Having a walkman phone again is great, especially with music controls. It's great for the gym. However, the supplied headphones are absolute crap! Such a tinny sound, and with the bulky connector in the middle it's very awkward to use. Think I'll buy a better adaptor of ebay and get some quality headphones.

Is it me, or is the Walkman button on the top of the phone the worst button ever made?
It has no feedback at all and doesn't sit neatly.

Ordered mine via ebay last night
Most expensive phone I will ever pay for lol. you did good SE.. Many of us im sure were extremely tempted by this guy. i know i was the first time i laid eyes on it. brilliant design, aesthetics are a 10. at least in those pictures you have on the website
Hopefully when it gets here i will be happy to use it. and if im not.. remembering that i have a 120gb gears of war edition zune loaded with 320kbps lossless audio/video, and a canon sd880 wide shot camera will allow me to sleep better at night.
so what the hell did i buy this for?? lol... you tell me guys.. you tell me..
a phone is a toy to play with. it helps cutt down on items you tag along with you i guess. but remembering that those items, if bought for quality specs for example, are way beyond the power in these phones for years to come. the downside is that it will always be this way.. but the good thing is this.. the phones are getting to that point where the technology in them is going to be "good enough" in terms of quality: pics, multimedia, storage, batterylife (which personally i think should get doubled up, even though its against marketting strats to do so) wireless capabilities etc.. and that is something to start getting excited about!
despite my tangent. in the end its a great peice of phone compared to the monsters out there that you dont want to fit in your pocket.
so it gets my recognition, if its worth anything.. after all, who the hell am i
For those guys who complain about the 3.5mm jack.. its not a huge deal.. i do think sony should tone down the size of their jack though. understandably, they want a peice of that market, you would too if it was your business lol. and so would i. but maby think about making it a little bit smaller sony. the little square plastic connector peice is just a tiny bit 2 big imho.. especially when your in your best jeans heading out for the night. shave it down, we know you can do it.. and dont you guys have enough of the market? make the whiney masses more happy with that jack. i could care less, but the guys that post endless threads about it, would all of a sudden dissapear! sure those idiots have something to do with your market..
other than that, l33t phone. and with the new 16gb ultra m2's rollin around the corner.. the future looks bright! and whatever you do se. do not do what you did to the w960i with a no m2 card slot ever again. thats what killed that phone for me, no room for the future.. otherwise, it would have been a new toy for many ppl im sure. but dont let me tell you how to market the phones, your obviously 10 steps ahead..
okay enough of this.. i feel like im talking to big brother.
because of the wife, im going to attempt to sell this W580i on ebay just to help justify the cost!
cheers'
-dan
DOES ANYONE KNOW....
What is that peice attached to the phone in the bottom picture?
And is that stand for the w902 or what is the deal..
They go great together.. any ideas guys?

Thank you glorfingal, i will look into picking that up for the desktop
@DEAF
What the hell.. anytime you drop a phone its liable to have issues with the case, the operation of the phone etc.. maby yours took a bad bounce?
Most of the phones I have owned dont have the absolute best quality case to be honest. And im coming from the w580i as my last phone, and before that it was a little clam shell'd samsung etc. So im sure that it will be an upgrade in terms of quality, at least for myself that is.
There is also other phones on the market if you dont like the w902. I think its the phone for me though. Its a work of art
