Help me buy my next SE phone...

[hgautam]

Hi everyone...

I have a P910(2yrs old) and a K750(1yr old)... Now I want to buy a new phone and I do not have any budget problems... I love taking pictures from my K750 and listining to music(I use similar headphones from Sony as the Walkman Series)...

The phones I m concerning are:
M600, P990, K790, W850 or W950

M600- Its now available at reasonable price but I have doubts about its sound quality and performance... Also W950 looks better... I love taking pictures with my K750 and would miss the camera if I buy this...
http://www.sonyericsson.com/spg.jsp?cc=global&lc=en&ver=4001&template=pp1_1_1&zone=pp&lm=pp1&pid=10385

P990 - This is going to be the best phone available and it does not have any major drawbacks... The only problem is that it doesn't look good and its screen quality is not as outstanding as K790/W850...
http://www.sonyericsson.com/spg.jsp?cc=global&lc=en&ver=4001&template=pp1_1_1&zone=pp&lm=pp1&pid=10336

K790 - It has one of the best display in the market today and its quite compact and easy to use that all other phones at present... Also it has a 3.2 Megapixel camera which is quite good... Video recording doesn't matter to me as we are still far away from getting good video recording from our camera phones... Even the N93 is just so so... The problem with this phone is that is has many limitations and lack of options only when compared with touchscreen phones like SE P-Series...
http://www.sonyericsson.com/spg.jsp?cc=global&lc=en&ver=4001&template=pp1_1_1&zone=pp&lm=pp1&pid=10409

W850 - Almost similar to K790... The difference being, walkman series, slider, camera not as good as K790, its not going to be officially launched in India and it would be costing around Rs 30,000 initially... This phone may not be the best looking phone ever but as far as looks goes its my favorite...
http://www.sonyericsson.com/spg.jsp?cc=global&lc=en&ver=4001&template=pp1_1_1&zone=pp&lm=pp1&pid=10447

W950 - It also doesn't have camera and Wifi but is better than P990 in many ways... Better headphones, slim and good looking, no need for flip keypad, etc... But its not launching anytime soon...
http://www.sonyericsson.com/spg.jsp?cc=global&lc=en&ver=4001&template=pp1_1_1&zone=pp&lm=pp1&pid=10391

So the above mentioned are my thoughts... What do u think...

My first choice is K790 but I expect it to be launched somewhere around 15th August... The next is P990 which should be available by mid July...

The M600 is now available and I can go for that too but I want to know ur suggestions, should I wait for few months or not...

Thanks in advance...

[carcomptoy]

If you really really need UIQ, then hold out for the P990...

Otherwise, I would go for the K790;)

That is the main problem... I have had all the P-Series phones before and loved them... I have also had T610, K700, K750 and W800, and loved them too... But now the choice is more difficult...

[dgw789]

depends on which phone you are planing to replace P910i or k750i. Or do you want to change both off them?

I want to change both...

[Jacob_Stevenson]

Get a Nokia ;)

[hgautam]

Get a Nokia ;)

Can u plz mention which nokia model ur saying abt...

[Jacob_Stevenson]

N80

..........

[bnza8]

why not get the K800 instead of the K790? K800 has 3G.

[hgautam]

why not get the K800 instead of the K790? K800 has 3G.

The K800 wont be available here in India...

[hgautam]

N80

..........

Well I am a very heavy user and the battery life matters a lot... The n80 lacks in that department... Its not that I dont like it, its my favorite phone from Nokia and the only one...

[bnza8]

what? india doesnt have 3G?

if you want the battery to last as much as possible then dont get the K790, it only lasts for 7 hours.

[crazyze]

The E70 is very similar to the N80 and has better battery life, could that be an option?

But out of your choices, get the k790 and when the P990 comes out the M600 should come down in price a bit and you can get that. It will have same performance as the p990 but without the WiFi and camera. If you are going to change between phones regularly then that should suffice.

[hgautam]

what? india doesnt have 3G?
?
?if you want the battery to last as much as possible then dont get the K790, it only lasts for 7 hours.
??Yes India doesnt have 3G yet but its expected next yr...??I know K790's battery last only 7hrs. but its still on top of my list as there are phones that dont even last that long...

[hgautam]

The E70 is very similar to the N80 and has better battery life, could that be an option?

??Thanks for ur suggestion... But I would rather go for K790 instead of E70... If I want to buy a business phone I want it to have touchscreen...??I have ruled out M600 as I have many doubts about its performance and sound...??Now I m only taking K790, P990 and W850 into consideration..

" LATEST NEW LATEST NEWS""!!!

Sony Ericsson K800i & K610i was launched last night 24th june

K800i retails $4980Hk
k610i (grey) retails at $2980HK

Both 3G mobile.Maybe consider a k800i if you are considering on a k790

Fair enough regarding the touchscreen, I personally am indifferent when it comes to the use of touchscreen phones. I am in the same position as you when deciding new phones and I think that the E61 is more useful than the P990.

I agree that for the second phone that you should get the k790/k800, or a Nokia alternative the N73 - size and form is very similar to k790 + N73 has that HUGE screen.

I am proposing the Nokia handsets since they show there are valid alternatives to SE, but a P990/k790 combo is a very good choice! One worry I have with the P990 is the size, it is big and the E61 does everything that you would want (albeit without the camera, but you would have the k790 so that would not be a worry!)

[MAdBudz]

Is the K790 available anywhere yet?? that phone looks like it is going to be the sh*t!! I have a K750 and love it, cant wait for a K790...

[hgautam]

Hi crazyze, the E61 looks doesnt impress me and its width is too much... I know its slim but I have small fingers and anything wider than P910 would not fit my hand... Also, now I wont be considering any non camera phone...

The N73 is 2good on specs but again doesnt impress me... The only Nokia phones that excite me are N80(poor battery life) and N93(at that price I would spend a little extra and buy P990)

For now most of u have said K790 and P990... Ok, now which one should I choose...

No one has any comments on W850??? I really like that phone too... The only problem being it wont be launched in India and is still far away from launch...

For me the business features would mean that I would lean towards the P990. Ok the camera is better on the k790 but for quick snaps I think the P990 will suffice your needs.

[ninjabear]

People have driven the price of K800i up!!!that's why its expensive

[carcomptoy]

For me the business features would mean that I would lean towards the P990. Ok the camera is better on the k790 but for quick snaps I think the P990 will suffice your needs.
Considering the P990 is rumored to have the same camera as the K750/W800, I don't think you'll be sacrificing THAT much in terms of picture quality. It'll still be extremely decent;)

[bnza8]

so are you wanting a phone with a lot of great specs and long battery power? what price are you willing to go up to?

K800i retails $4980Hk. HK? does that mean Hong Kong dollar? if so then thats much less then i had expected. if this is the real price then im definetly getting one as soon as it reaches Australia.

[ninjabear]

$4930Hk for K800i with 1GB memory stick


$4830Hk for K800i + 512MB memory stick

$4680Hk for K800i only

I believe the prices will be alot more pricey in australia but let me know what the price is when it comes out


also..

K610i has also been released

$3080HK k610i with 512MB memory stick

$3180Hk k610i wit 1Gb memory stick

[hgautam]

A good point there crazyze about the P990...

As far as price goes, I dont have any problems, but the phone should be able to justify it and the K800 was not able to do so even at $4680Hk...

The K610 is rightly priced but I m not interested in it...

[hgautam]

Can anyone tell me if its possible to save sms and contacts on the Memory stick or not in SE P990???

[bnza8]

I believe the prices will be alot more pricey in australia but let me know what the price is when it comes outso it is in Hong Kong dollars? yes, i will tell you the price of it when it comes out here. if its cheaper in hong kong then i might buy it over there. on an australian mobile website its reported that the K800i to be AU$1,199. but from what you have said $4930Hk thats about AU$868. it would be an awsome bargain!

As far as price goes, I dont have any problems, but the phone should be able to justify it and the K800 was not able to do so even at $4680Hk...one of me mates has a phone that he got last year sometime for AU$1,499 and the battery lasts for 12 hours and it has a 2MP camera etc. i have e-mailed him about it and when he replies i will forward the information on to you. :)

[ninjabear]

K880i is actually 3.2 megapixel.

You may find the price will drop in a months time

[hgautam]

The P990 is the next phone to be launched here in India... But I dont know how long is it gonna take... It has been delayed earlier also... Hope it doesnt get delayed once again...

[bnza8]

K880i is actually 3.2 megapixel.you mean the K800i. theres no such thing as the K880i.

[dgw789]

if i was you i would swap the k750i for the k790/k800 and then wait a few months an either get the P990i or W950i :-)

[bnza8]

if i was you i would swap the k750i for the k790/k800 and then wait a few months an either get the P990i or W950i :-)that would truly be stupid and a waste of money!

[dgw789]

why??? the K800 is much better than the k750!!! how can that be a waste of time? larger screen, 3G etc.

[bnza8]

its not that part that i disagree with you. you said get the K800 and then wait for a few months only to get the P990i or W950i.

[ninjabear]

you mean the K800i. theres no such thing as the K880i.

Yea,I meant k800i

[hgautam]

I cant buy K790 first and then P990 as P990 is the next phone to be launched and then only K790 will be launched... The P990 shld be available by July end (unless they delay it again) and the K790 around mid Aug...

Well at the moment there is no phone that has feature of both K790 and P990... If I buy both then I wont be able to carry both phones with me... So it doesnt make sense buying both the phones...

[bnza8]

ok, i know what the phone is called.
its a Panasonic MX7. it has a 16 hour battery and 2MP camera, video, MP3, etc. for more info click on the below link,

Thanks for ur suggestion buddy... The phone looks really good on specs... But I dont want to shift to other brands... SE suits me best... Nokia might also work for me but there phones somehow fail to convince me... But that may change if someone has a good justification for it...

:)

[carcomptoy]

Just wait and get the P990i

[bnza8]

why not get the Sony Ericsson P910? or are you looking for something higher then a VGA camera?

[carcomptoy]

Um...the P990i does have a higher than a VGA camera...two megapixels to be exact. And if you had read the thread, you would've seen that he already has the P910, in which case he's trying to replace it:cool:

[hgautam]

yeah i have p910 which is going to be 2yrs old soon...??I m looking forward to P990... But its a little outdated, SE have delayed it a lot... Anyone has an idea how much is it gonna cost... If its under US $600 at launch then i m definately buying it...

Despite it being late, it will utilise UIQ effectively and I have no doubt it will serve people well over the coming year or two.

[carcomptoy]

Exactly! Just because it's old or late, doesn't mean it can't get the job done. I mean, certainly, the P990i's specs won't be OUTdated when it does finally come. I mean, 2MP camera, WiFi (albeit just Wireless-B), UIQ...still quite impressive.

By outdated I dont mean its specs as such... Specs wise the P990 is still ok... though it would have been better if it had an even better screen and camera, like the K800...

By outdated i also mean its performance... I was not imprressed with its somewhere around 200mhz speed when the phone was announced... And now after one year it still has the same RAM and Processor... I dont think the phone will be much faster than P910 (I feel the P910 is too slow:( )...

[hgautam]

Bad news: The P990 has been delayed again, now the K790 is releasing before P990...

Why the hell they keep on delaying it???

[carcomptoy]

LOL because it's Sony and they're too busy delaying the PS3:p

Well, to be fair, the P990 isn't necessarily supposed to be the groundbreaking upgrade to the P900/P910. Afterall, if SE had meant that to be, if would've been named P1000 or something, not something in the same numerical range.

[brad]

LOL because it's Sony and they're too busy delaying the PS3:pI know what you are getting at, but Sony Ericsson and Sony are different brands entirely.

[carcomptoy]

I know I know I'm just playing:o

[bnza8]

I dont think the phone will be much faster than P910 (I feel the P910 is too slow:( )...why dont you just get a PDA instead? they're much faster. try Motorola Q?

[carcomptoy]

The P990 is technically a PDA...and as for faster, the Q is pretty slow even for a Windows Mobile phone if I'm not mistaken from reviews.

[hgautam]

The P990 is technically a PDA...and as for faster, the Q is pretty slow even for a Windows Mobile phone if I'm not mistaken from reviews.

Exactly, The P990 is a PDA but overall better than a PDA... Size and functions all in one...

upto now every one has been very helpful here, thanks!!!

Now shouldn't I wait for the next P-series phones to come out rather than buying a phone now??? What do u think... It has been a long time I m using a P910 and K750...

[Ack]

I was going to get a k800 since my s700 is almost 2 years old now. But since I saw the n93 I'm going to get that.

Get the k800 and m600 for now if you can't wait.

[bnza8]

hgautam,
the P990 is out and its for US$1,699.99.
you can find more info on this link - http://www.110220volts.com/Merchant2/merchant.mvc?Screen=PROD&Product_Code=P990-CELL

enjoy mate

[carcomptoy]

I would take this with a pinch of salt...even if it were real, it's probably prototype or early firmware, which equals to LOTS of problems and headaches.

[bnza8]

who cares mate.

it will be under warranty so if there was lots of problems, he can take it back to the store.

[carcomptoy]

What store?? It's online! Plus, where is the warranty in? This phone isn't out officially, don't you get it?

[crazyze]

Still, price is waaaaaaaaaaaaay too high!!!!!

[bnza8]

What store?? It's online! Plus, where is the warranty in? This phone isn't out officially, don't you get it?you can still return it to the online shop!

Still, price is waaaaaaaaaaaaay too high!!!!!bloody oath it is!

hgautam,
you said you wanted something with a longer battery life thats from SE right? i found something thats relevant to what you're looking for.

its the SE Z800 with a 10hr battery life.
more info - http://www.gsmarena.com/sony_ericsson_z800-1042.php

[hgautam]

bnza8: The price of P990 u mentioned is really high... As it seems a bit outdated I m not willing to pay more than US $600 for it as according to me its worth is not more than that...

About Z800, I dont like it, the only models in my list right now are K790 and P990... Z800 may have bettery battery life but then it falls short on many other features...

I want an overall good phone... Which P990 and K790 are but P990 does not have some feautres equal to K790(Display quality, 3.2 MP with more camera features, looks, etc.) and K790 also does not have some features of P990 (Touchscreen, Symbian 9 and UIQ3, etc.). These 2 phones suits me best but I have to use only one so I have decide on any one of these...

[bnza8]

well, i can tell you now, the P990 is worth a lot more then US$600. for your sake, i wish i am wrong.

you must be a really rich indian to get a US$600 phone.

(i know what its like in india, i been there for a holiday in april this year)

[crazyze]

p990, will probably be 550-600 pounds sterling! No chance for $600. It will be one of those phones whose value will not fall rapidly as well.

[carcomptoy]

If the P990 is 600GBP, WHAT THE HECK is SE thinking?? It's not THAT great a phone that you can charge over a thousand!

[jayesh]

is that a generalization or is that a stereotyping.... i think we can do without comments as such..

[bnza8]

is that a generalization or is that a stereotyping.... i think we can do without comments as such..its a positive comment.

[carcomptoy]

Well, generalizations as in every Indian is too poor to afford nice phones is what he's against.

[bnza8]

Well, generalizations as in every Indian is too poor to afford nice phones is what he's against.not every but most indians cant afford a US$600 phone.

i lived with a host family during my stay and they said they are very lucky to have a TV. and i thought to myself, their tv is only a 34cm CRT screen. i was hoping to buy some cheap dvds over there but i couldnt find any because most people dont have dvd players. that family had a total of 6 people and they share a phone that i bought them for a present during my stay, before that they didnt have a phone.

i love the street foods while i was there and i spent at the maximum AU$2 for my breakfast and AU$5 for my dinner. it was great, i bought a whole table of cooked food with that much. the most i spent on food was AU$100 and that was a feast. i spent it just before i left. i wanted to thank my host family for letting me stay there with hospitality.

now you think about it, for someone that spends US$600 alone on a phone over there, that would mean they're really rich for an average indian.

AU$1 = 34.8 Rupees and US$1 = 46.7 Rupees

it was marked as a positive comment, nothing bad about it.

[shaheen]

i miss india:(

[bnza8]

btw, the P990 is officially released.

heres a short commercial of the P990, http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xg_ap5KA828

[crazyze]

If the P990 is 600GBP, WHAT THE HECK is SE thinking?? It's not THAT great a phone that you can charge over a thousand!

Supply and Demand + it is highly anticipated!

[Thai]

Phone isn't out yet, and it's not gonna cost more than 700USD.

The P910 was the best for its day, and debuted at around 600. The P990 would be just about right for this cycle. If that makes sense.

You can buy some pre-release ones from wireless imports and such for well over a grandUSD, but it wouldn't cost that much for actual launch.

[hgautam]

Well bnza8 I do not have any problems with ur comments... Perhaphs u got to see only one side of the Indian society and not the other... There are many rich Indians also who can easily afford a phone upto or more than US $600... I also agree with jayesh that we can continue without such comments...

The P990's commercial u posted a link to is an year old and availble at SE official P990 page... Still some who havent seen it might get to this video now...

Dear Thai, I paid US $860 for P910 when it was launched... That was its debute price here in India (Rs 39,000 - Rs 41,000)...

U got a point there crazyze but the P990's high price would mean sensible if it was launched back in Jan or Feb, now it should not be more than US $700 at max...

Thanks everyone, I liked reading all ur comments and there is still some time for K790 and P990 to be released so ur free to give me more comments...

[bnza8]

hgautam,
yes, im sure there are many many rich indians. every country has its poor, middle class and rich people. but the majority people in india would be below middle class? i think you would agree with me on that. i am sorry if you are hurt by my comment and i wont say anything more about this topic.

back on track. theres a huge discussion about the 990 here (http://forum2.mobile-review.com/showthread.php?t=41771) you may be able to find some of the answers that you seek.

[crazyze]

U got a point there crazyze but the P990's high price would mean sensible if it was launched back in Jan or Feb, now it should not be more than US $700 at max...



The thing is the P990 is still generating HUGE excitement, despite the phone being soooo late, people still want it, maybe even more people than if it was released in Jan/Feb! Hence why I think price may be high.

SE may also want the high price so that not many people buy the phone. Reason for this is that the phone is not going to be of high production such as k800i. If demand is huge, SE may have a manufacturing problem.

(But I doubt this would be the case!)

[666joe]

If the P990 is 600GBP, WHAT THE HECK is SE thinking?? It's not THAT great a phone that you can charge over a thousand!

9500 was £580gbp and much lower spec only a year and a bit ago....so I think its priced right (free would be better but then it'd end up being as functional as a Sagem)

[Thai]

Dear Thai, I paid US $860 for P910 when it was launched... That was its debute price here in India (Rs 39,000 - Rs 41,000)...


When I ordered it at launch from a UK webstie, I only paid a little over 600USD.

I'm curious as to why there was such a price jump from one region to the next.

[dinoski]

Check out SE W300i.

[hgautam]

There is a good news and a bad news... The good news is that the P990 was released yesterday and I bought one too... The bad news is, I m disappointed... The sound sucks... Its too low and has a very bad quality... Its nowhere as good as my old P910... The sound in the headphones is also poor...:(

[jayesh]

u bought it at 38k ... thats kind of insane gautam.. should have waited for initial prices to crash

[hgautam]

u bought it at 38k ... thats kind of insane gautam.. should have waited for initial prices to crash
?
?I never said i bought it for 38k. I bought it for 35k with bill the day it was officially launched here. I agree i should hav waited but i was to eager to buy it. By the way, i was insane as it was also available for 30k without bill.

[jayesh]

well from what ive seen of it soo far ive walked away not all that impressed. ive owned a p910i earlier and comparatively ... this does not give me the same feeling of solidness and smooth experience i enjoyed with the p910

[ezitis]

My choice would be W950

[hgautam]

Till now the 3 major drawbacks I have found are:
- Sound
- Slow Speed
- Some problems with the UI

I had a talk with SE service center and they said the new firmware improves the sound... Will get it done soon once I have windows service pack 2 and made a backup... In future I expect some performance and UI problems to be taken care of... Other than these three things the phone is excellent and does not have any other major drawbacks...

[maylee]

hi! im also contemplating on replacing my 2 year old P900. and im inclined to buy w850 when it comes out. i would really appreciate it if you could provide some info/opinion on this model.

coming from p900, i also want to try out a clamshell fone (or a somewhat smaller fone). any suggestions? im not so much after a good camera since i already have a digicam (though a good camera fone is a plus :) ) but i want to my fone to have good music quality ;)

appreciate any help from you guys. thanks!

[msyang20]

hMmm...would any of you guys be interested in selling your phones??

[Ack]

Maylee, The w850 is awesome. I told my wife to get it, but she said she can wait. It fits nicely in your hand, not too big and it seems to be just the right weight. It's going for 800 sgd here.

msyang20, what you want to buy my n93? ;)

hi! im also contemplating on replacing my 2 year old P900. and im inclined to buy w850 when it comes out. i would really appreciate it if you could provide some info/opinion on this model.

coming from p900, i also want to try out a clamshell fone (or a somewhat smaller fone). any suggestions? im not so much after a good camera since i already have a digicam (though a good camera fone is a plus :) ) but i want to my fone to have good music quality ;)

appreciate any help from you guys. thanks!

i suggest a SE w900i definitely..maybe not as good lookin as the w850...(depending on people) but definitely quality way much better. all i know is that im lovin my purdy white w900i~

I have a P990, actually its the second one as the first was really rubbish, this one however is better, I would rate it as only rubbish as opposed to really rubbish.
very awkward to operate, crashes, hangs, gives access denied' messages requiring a re-start to clear. Super slow and almost impossible to bond on bluetooth.
SE's answer to all these snags is 'go to pdate and re-install the software'. Doing this 3 or 4 times a day is not really practical!!!!!
I met a person at a Xmas party, he noticed my phone and told me everything that was wrong with it before I told him! I was amazed and asked him how he knew? Did he have one? GOD NO was his reply, he is a hardware tester for one of the biggest mobile networks in the UK. They test all phones the network wants to release and other hardware that is used behind the scenes.
He told me that general opinion of 990 is very low and it is a sub-standard item.
So make your choice but don't choose the P990 you will be disapointed for sure.

Not only that, I am confronted with a bunch of atrocious, ignorant and non-caring service support personnel here in the Philippines. I've sent letters to the SE Phil. president and no response from him.

Anybody know an SE higher-up there in Sweden and his email address? I'm thinking of starting WWIII.

My 990 is crap!

The p990 is just not a good phone - it's buggy. I think SE either botched up the software or hurriedly released it. I knew the design was old and the features are too - but I had hoped that they'd at least get the software right!

After using one for around a month - I sold it. My p910 was better than this. It's even older but IT WORKED and is relatively bug-free.
