I played with the G900 today and I'm pretty impressed with it. It is a good smart phone imo and definitely worth buying.
The screen size is ok I guess. It's for the mass market and therefore 2.4" is enough I think, though I myself wouldn't mind a bigger screen. That's also one of the reason why I'm not getting one. |

I noticed on the  support site, that chinese is not listed there, so does that mean i have to buy one from china in order to get the language on my phone?

Well got a chance to play around with this phone, and first impressions are its a pretty decent phone to say the least.
There are only two things stopping me buying this phone atm. The first is that my contract doesn't finish until September. :'(
But the biggest one is that I'm worried this is going to be a massively popular phone...(greedy I know) and I'd rather not own a phone which everyone else has, it would just be a bit dull and not make it as special. I had the same experience with the Moto V3 and it was a deflating feeling. Similarly its why I didn't bother getting a replacement for my faulty N95.
Wondering if anyone else has that feeling? We'll probably have some indications of how successful it is by september and chances are I will get the phone as it was a pleasure to play around with. |

I think it'll become popular, but not massively popular.
I don't have to worry about it becoming popular here in Serbia. In my school of 200 people, only 3-4 people have an N95 (or the 8GB). Plus, the G900 won't be available here for quite some time (but my dad is coming to visit this summer and he's gonna bring me a gift (probably G900) for my birthday).
But, if you really like the phone, just get it. Don't hold off on something that you want to get because you want to stand out from the crowd... Just get the one you want, not the one that no one will buy.
EDIT: I noticed the brown G900 costs 30$ more than the red one on mobile city online. Why?

Can anyone say if it will be possible to update the G900 to UIQ 3.3?
It should be possible since the G702 has almost the same hardware platform as the G900 right? |

If the update for G900 to UIQ 3.3 is possible then it'll be also possible for older UIQ 3 phone users to upgrade/modify their OS to it. this might also help those helpless-but-still-loyal P990/W950/M600 get rid of their RAM issue as this version gives them demand paging

Hello
Please can you tell me someone who has G900 if it is possible to play java games (which are for ordinary phones with screen 320x240 like K850 and so on) on this phone despite of it lacks the two physical functional buttons and man must touch on display for some menu of the game? Are there any problems with it? If there are, so are problems in every game, or there are some exceptions?
My girlfriend likes java games and she has some favourites and she would´t like to give up them...
Thank you for your answers |

Welcome to you.
You're supposed to get two soft- buttons on the screen- edge, and that works as well as the physical buttons in games, really.
(The problem with the soft- buttons on the screen is that the phone unlocks when you're being called to, so if you have the phone in your pocket, the buttons are a bit easier to push than the physical buttons on the other phones...
So until Sony Ericsson gets their asses in gear and fixes that problem..)

A 2.4 screen is of course not bad, but insufficient for a UIQ phone imo.
That's exactly what I used thought before I actually used G700 and G900... But IMO they are better optimized for finger touch use than previous UIQ phones...
Also, these two phones have a D-Pad, back and 'c' keys and navigation keys (touch on G900) as well... So using the touchscreen is not a necessity but an option... |
