just get a 2nd hand P800. it's cheaper and you would have a lot of spare parts  |

fellow p-series users, need your opinion on this.
here's the situation: dropped my p9 last night, unit still functioning but not 100 percent. phone ok, apps still working. however, screen doesn't respond to stylus taps (unless i press the sides of the unit). brought it to semicon-rockwell earlier tonight, and right off the bat upon hearing my explanation, the csr told me "ay kelangan ho palitan ang lcd niyan. may mga cases na kaming ganyan, ayaw mag-respond yung screen."
a new lcd would set me back about 7,200 + 500 labor. i told her to have the unit checked first, let me know what needs to be done, then i'll decide.
my question: should i seek a second opinion from that other repair center, sess? i've read about the criticisms against semicon here but (against my better judgement) brought my unit there anyway because it was easier for me to go to rockwell than glorietta. is it possible the damage isn't that bad and an lcd-change might not be needed after all?
thanks a lot for whatever help you can give.

chances are that the lcd will indeed have to be replaced.
as far as the service center is concerned, the the only one i would recommend is smartnet. very good service and usually cheaper than semicon. sess is ok i guess, but smartnet is always my 1st choice. |

thanks senninha, will keep smartnet in mind next time. but whaddyaknow, the semicon csr called up today and said "ok na po phone niyo. may hinigpitan lang sa loob. hindi pala kailangan palitan lcd."
i was just so thankful the damage wasn't major, i held back from telling here "well, you shouldn't have been too hasty about your conclusions."

Hi, any of you guys know where I can get a P910a (US version) in the Philippines? I will be migrating to the US soon and the network that I'll be using there is Cingular and uses mostly the 850 band. Thought that I could also buy a P910a there but I might have a hard time selling my P910i. I don't want to sell it here before I leave.
Day by day as I use my Sony Ericsson Phone, I find more and more reasons not to go back to Nokias.
Sorry Nokia fans but that's life . . . |

i think it's highly unlikely that you will find a P910a here in the phi. but if ever you were to find one, i'm guessing that the best place to look would be where the grey marketeers are, i.e., virra mall, goldcrest, etc.
on the flip side, i would think that it would be better to sell your P910i here before you leave, as you may have a harder time selling it in the US, what with the lack of the 850 mhz band.

Thanks, I guess I'll try to look for it in Greenhills. I don't think I can part with my phone right now. I use it instead of my laptop. Check emails, write short documents, and etc. And I can do that just about anywhere - while in the car, in a coffee shop, etc. It's so handy and has so much more uses than my previous phone.

i plan 2 buy a p900 soon,but i have 1 question that's lingering in my mind since i tried it in greenhills,is it stylus-dependent?i mean can i still scroll or play games without using the stylus?
and one more thing,is it still a good buy,since there are only few stores who are selling this because of the p910i release.

you can scroll & select using the jog dial, not necessarily the stylus. for games, it would depend on the game but i think pretty much the same would apply.
P900 is a very good buy, especially if you compare what your alternatives are for the same price. |

Hey guys, i am a newbie here and just want to ask for your help with regards to my p800
Just yesterday my P800 started malfunctioning. When
there is an incoming call and I answer it, I can't hear the party on the other line unless I open the flip and turn on the speaker phone. Same thing when I make a call. |
