Which Sony phone?!

MrsBartolozzi

Christina,
I have the c902 and it's fine, the camera is very good, I am happy with that. It was cheapest on 02 when I got it for Xmas 08, but the handset is unlocked and I use my old orange sim card. I have read that there were problems about it switching off on its own, and I did have this happen a couple of times, but since I downloaded the new firmware from sony website I have had no more probs.

i think the most reliable SE phones are the older ones like the k800/k810/w880 and the ones like the w810 which run on an even older platform

I had the W810i and had NO problems at all - was a great wee phone

I am still using a w810i and it is still fine after 3 years of lots of use and being thrown around. I have a new Xperia X1 coming tomorrow so quantum leap for me after having an old phone for ages I will try to remember to write up on this thread what it is like. I got it on a £20 a month deal for 600 mins, 1000 texts, unlimited data and £97 for the phone so it works out at around £25 a month overall for 18 months. Really chuffed with that deal. One other phone you have to have a look at is a HTC Touch HD - you can get it on O2 through the online retailers and it is a fantastic phone

I love my C905, don't find it slow at all, camera is great and the wifi is a great bonus. But I had the screen problem, it was less than three months old before it had to go in for repair. Now it's developed a problem with the wifi (it's almost 4 months old now). So I'd have to say whilst it's a fantastic phone, it is unreliable. Shame really since it's perfect for my needs.

I have a W910i and it's worked perfectly since the day I got it, used it until I got the C905, and whilst the C905 was off for repair. I know I'm lucky with that though, since there's a lot of problems reported with that handset.

If the C905 interests you, I'd be inclined to wait for the W995 which is due out in the next month or two. Like the C905 it is a slide phone with an 8MP camera and also has Wi-Fi, GPS and good multimedia support. I know people who work for T-Mobile and they are saying good things about the prototypes they've seen and trialled.

I just found out about that phone later on today so thinking about waiting for that!
