A new review of the phone on Mobiset.ru:

Doesn't really add much more than what we already know. |

pk, masseur, any one else who has one, what is your firmware version?
mine is: R1EA030
It actually DOES have stereo speakers 
The main earpiece acts as the 2nd speaker ( i read it in the review Raja posted, so did a quick test, yes, it is a loud speaker too) I was blocking the main speaker when i first got the phone to test if it actually had stereo speakers. And it wasnt blocking properly, didnt give that 'echo' effect when you block a speaker, was weird, because it still sounded normal. Though this explains why it was like that!

Mine is also on the same firmware as your's 500 and your's PK.  Still got mine a week or two on. Still loving it. However I do seem to get a problem. When it has been turned off for a long time (such as an overnight charge) it keeps restarting when turned back on. This is solved with a hard reset. It is also a bit slow when connected to my Sony MEX BT-5000 head unit, but I can deal with it until the new firmware comes out!

I've read the whole thread and searched like crazy. Are people able to get the album artwork up and going on your w890 okay? If so, how are you doing it? I'm going nuts trying....
Thanks.
Just to be fair - the trouble I'm having is with my music. Things like a podcast I got through the SE Media Manager the artwork shows up just FINE!

On-screen icon query:
I have just received and enabled my new W890, and I am just wondering what the hell an icon is on my screen.
It is next to the signal meter and is of a head and shoulders with an arrow bouncing off it.
The manual fails to mention this icon, so just wondered if anyone else knew what it was.
I am on Orange with R1EC001.
Many thanks. |
