Hi,
Got fed up waiting for SE to announce a phone that made me really excited so just bought a new w890 on ebay(sim free unbranded) for £145 inc p&p. It looks like a good deal to me. Have I bought a good phone? and is it a good deal? I've had a look at this thread and the comments seem to be mixed.

£145 
anymore at that price!!!
There were a couple PK. They were ones used at press conference but I wish I'd bought the other one because mine was damaged. Sent it back and it has been returned as repaired but still not working. The seller has been ok. No probs there but it's going back for a refund now unless he offers a replacement.
When it arrived someone had broken the prongs of the charger (the bit that plugs into the phone) and one was stuck in the phone. That's now been sorted but the phone won't charge even though the led says it is so I supose the charging unit has been damaged.
I'm very disapointed because I like the phone. Although I'll echo some of the other comments that it seems quiet..that is compared to my old W550i.
Alye (Still waiting for a phone to make her heart beat faster)
Edit because phone seems quiet not quite

Why would the original content be wiped off during a factory reset? |

Is anyone having any issues with bluetooth and this phone? Several times during conversation the connection just stops with the headset and the phone, even though the phone is right next to me. I am using the HBH-608 headset. I am considering purchacing a new headset (looking at the HBH PV708 or HBH PV712), hopefully this will stop the problem. I do doubt it however as I have had issues sending files via bluetooth from my PC.

Hehe, I bought the W890 for my mum today. Boy, is she happy. She loves it!
No wonder... she's been using my old K500i for quite some time now. 
I'm playing around with her new phone right now, actually.  |

Well I ordered it yesterday from Plemix €290 with shipping. I think that was a good price.
Cant wait for it to arrive, its the black one btw. I wonder if I will be charged import tax to Ireland?
I think I'm gonna get one of the MBW-150 watches as well. |

Yeah they've stopped putting in the screensaver clock much to the confusion of many users. It really should have been at least optional to turn it on, but for now you'll have to get used to pressing the volume keys.
It's down to the type of screen they use. Some of the TFD screens consumed very little power so could keep the clock visible. The TFT ones used on the high-end models suck lots of power, so they don't offer the feature.
I'm sure someone could hack the firmware to make the option available (just as you can allow the FM radio to work without a headset plugged in) but I doubt you'd want to!
