"Great Phone with awsome features (i own the phone)"
Pros: Looks Good, Good sound quality, nice camera , comes with 512 card standard, good battery life
Cons: Ringer could be a little bit louder
Summary: This is an overall great phone my favorite so far, i dont know what cnet means by it being avalible 2nd, 3rd quarter its out right now and you can buy it at most online retailers or ebay. But it has everything you could want in a phone, its also alot smaller then i thought it would be, I didnt have any problems with call quality but that might have somthing to do with them being in San Fran but overall this is a probaly one of the best phones out there right now if not the best. The only phone i own w/o any complaints, ive had : Motorola 680, e398,slvr, razr, mpx 220, Sony Eric: s710, w810 and the w810 is the best one out of all of them,i really cant find anything that bothers me or that i dont about the phone.Updated
Im on the T-mobile network and live in Cali but havent had any dropped calls, i know there are alot of people who do have this problem, im sure by the time the phone is offically released then the problem will be fixed also, the batter last me about 2 days of nomral, be sure to fully drain your phone when your 1st get it and then fully charge it that effects your batter life.Updated
I havent had a problem with dropped calls, but i am aware the some phones have this problem, i suggest to people who want this phone to wait for the US release by then the problem will be fixed, also battery life last me about 2-3 days with normal usage be sure to fully drain your battery then fully charge it, that gives you the maximum capacity for battery life. As for sound quality.....USE DIFFERENT HEADPHONEs, im sorry but for people who complain about the camera all i have to say is this...Its a camera phone you want better pictures buy a digital camera.Updated
If you send your phone back to sony they will replace it with a new one free of charge, also the new phones have this problem fixed.

How many songs does the 128MB stick hold? My wife wants this phone so I am doing research on it.

You mentioned about dropped calls but what about call volume. Lot of posts (even the post below yours) mentions about low call volume - what is your experience. I am concerned about this as if does not work good as phone other features are not of much use. You bought it from which place. Can you post your buying experience as well if you bought from Web - Amazon, wirefly etc.

I have the w800 and it's amazing. It's the perfect size and all the features (music, camera..etc..) work great.
I live in Boston and it works w/Cingular. -
Is the fact that you cant upgrade the memory that big a deal to you guys? And, when they say not bluetooth stereo enabled does that mean no bluetooth technology. Is it EDGE?
I was also looking at NOKIA 6682, MOTOROLA SLVR or RAZR. Any thoughts? -
I decided to ring Sony up in the US and see what they had to say. Interestingly they show the phone won't launch/release in the US until "2nd quarter, June" (quote), and that they were working on some network compatibility testing. The rep also noted that the handset is currently in limited release internationally, so it's a slow rollout rather than a big bang in every market on every carrier at once.
I would imagine that there would be some integration testing that goes on with each carrier's network as the product nears its release date in each country/region.
The rep indicated that they anticipated the fix being a firmware/software update thru the Update Service, rather than a hardware swapout requiring return of the handset.
As we all know, call center reps can vary in their degree of knowledge, but it definitely seemed like this person was looking up the info and reading back data, rather than brushing me off with boilerplate answers. -
Are you using the cingular network or T-mobile? I keep reading things online where this phone doesnt work well with the cingular network due to either the firmware or the phone network..
