Saw the brown w890 for the first time today in the store.
Looked mutch better on pictures then in real life....
I'll go for the silver if I have to choose.
Tested it for a few minutes, worked as expected.
But the phone has one big disadvantage:
Why did they put the connector on the side ? In the store the powersuply was connected, and when typing sms or whatever is in the way, a lot !
This is a walkman phone and it will be the same story when the headset is connected, if you not go with the BT, stupid.
Good looking and pocketfriendly though...
( sorry if this has been up before )

I agree that fastport positioning can be a serious nuisance when using the keypad, especially for left-handed people like myself
By moving it to the right-hand side
could win the most lefty-friendly award
Seriously, though, the bottom seems to be the best, neutral choice to which
should, hopefully revert.
Cheers!

the connector on the side is a big disadvantage when using it as a Walkman. No matter how you hold the phone the connector is in the way.
It doesn't help that the fastport connector is bloody massive. Why does the fastport need such big casing to connect a few wires to a few metal contacts? Then theres the problem of it being flimsy.
Bt headsets are ok if you have time to charge them.
Really thats my only problem worth mentioning on this otherwise great phone.

i seem to have problems using the media manager. I have too transfer my tracks form windows media player, works great then.
only trouble is there is no album art?
these are cd's that i have riped to windows and then transfered to the phone.
any ideas?
Someone offered this solution earlier in the thread to me, and I've used it. It works GREAT! Try Album Cover Art Downloader. Nifty little program that does it all for you! Then when you transfer the files to your phone, VOLIA! Cover art! Looks cool....

anyone else find the music player to be much slower to move around in than previous SE phones? i was using a w610 (k550 flashed to w610) and you could fly down the list of artists, and move back and forth between things quickly. seems to take forever on the w890. granted it's much fancier looking and even loads the album art when looking at the albums, but still.
and even doing other things on the phone while music is playing seems to be kind of slow...

Yeah thats an overall problem with the new A200 platform. Hopefully they'll eventually fix it with firmware updates.

I've already used this feature with the W880 without problems. With the W890 it works the same, just the account and settings menus have been redesigned a bit (to the better).
A really handy feature and for reading email or just to stay up to date it's perfectly suitable. Of course one wouldn't want to write longer emails using T9...
But I once sent some pictures to multiple receipients (about 15) from Egypt (the Pyramids). Despite data roaming charges this was far less expensive than using MMS. And the quality of the images was much better than with MMS. The phone still reduces the size of the image, but far less as with MMS.
