@ the useless expert guy
16 mm is not a "thin" phone, wow only 12 phones less than 12 mm? that doesn't seem like a very high number, so ovbiously this would be a rare slim phone.
and why are you comparing this phone to htc stuff that you say "have almost price just 200$ more offered impressive set of features"
like wtf what do you mean only $200 more? do you think everyone's money is limitless or something? i barely see anyone with those overpriced htc phones. this is directed more to the general public, and no non business person would want to spend more money on some non appealing htc phone.
i would continue with the rest...don't feel like it right now
EDIT: and Mizzle, great job on the review!

Nice little review Mizzle, good bunch of photos and screenshots.
One thing, does the messaging still refresh like the P1 does? Has it improved in this respect?

Nice review Mizzle.Keep up the good work.Hea.hea.(there is always someone down the line shouting, nothing to bother ones mind). According to slow sms opening.when the inbox is emty its no slower then nokia 6290.(When in RAM off course).And its the only phone I know that could get an sms away in three clicks. 1: point your favorit contactbox 2: point your contac (and write message) 3: send. |

hey guys, im new here and joined just to ask a couple of questions =D
i currently have a k750 flashed to w800, i want a phone that has a reasonable camera in it just for the fun times, but an easy to use media player.
i also read before about the dust in the screen, it doesnt effect the way the touch screen operates does it?
since i like useing my phone to listen to music, jsut wondering, what hands free comes with the phone retail?
thanks alot  |

I discovered today that when in camera mode, if you press the centre button of the navigation pad, the camera will automatically focus and take a picture.
@MIZZLE :
my hpm-82 comes up as a "textphone" accessory, yet two other standard SE handsfree sets come up as "handsfree".have you tested the G900 with handsfree sets yet?the hpm-82 works perfectly with my k800 so i'm not sure why it doesn't with the G900.
also, like somebody else mentioned earlier, my signal bars are inconsistent in strength, i.e. here in Wellington, my k800 signal bars were always full strength anywhere in the city, but my G900 signal bars vary quite alot.so either the k800 was lying, or the G900 isn't picking the signal up as strongly as the k800.
i would also like to add, why isn't there a RED option for G900's on this site??i could only choose brown for my G900 picture!!!most frustrating!!

Thanks, guys.
@Caspa
Refresh like P1 does?
@azza871
If you're going from a feature phone such as K750, I'd say you should stay in that league. Have a look at the W890
@K71
When I connect the HPM-82 to the G900, it takes a second, then pops up with a message saying the HPM-82 has been connected as a hands-free accessory.
The signal strength isn't excellent, as you've noticed, but I'm unsure if it is software-related, as I never experienced any problems with it directly losing the signal, or if really is hardware-related.

This is slightly off-topic, but how about C702 then?

Yeah, I mean in the sense that when you go into Messaging and then one of your Inboxes (sms or email), or when you come out of a message back to the inbox, on the P1 the messages refresh so they dissapear and then reappear again. This results in it jumping down the list if your to quick in trying to select another.
in a video I saw it didnt look as bad but not sure whether that was due to a lack of messages in the inbox.
Hopefully that makes sense now!
Best example of this is via my Blackberry inbox, i go into messgaing, then Blackberry inbox and straight away start scrolling up so as to find one of the older emails (say 300-400 in there), when its refreshed I end up being a number of emails down from the top of the list meaning i have to scroll even further up or down again.
if i pause before i start to scroll its fine.

It most likely does, since they've abandoned the impementations in the background. You can see the reason why it's like this if you look at the private folder for the inbox - they have put in seperate files for each message, so that when the mail- app refreshes (which it does all the time, even when it's not necessary), it requests from the filereader api one time for every message. So those requests compete with other requests, like other streams and api calls. Which makes the phone run really slow, since the scheduler doesn't see the difference between api calls. |

I think I understand now, and if I do, then no it doesn't seem like that's the case. Doesn't happen with e-mails, any way
EDIT
Seeing Nipsen's reply, I doubt I understood correctly, or maybe my memory isn't that great. anyway, I don't recall any jumping in the lists when receiving e-mails while "being in" the e-mail inbox.

..Well, it's kind of quicker with the pips- libraries (or an empty inbox), so it's not so horrible unless you know it's there.. >_<
But if you have a large in- box, it's easy to see - you open the inbox from the folder view, you're jumped to the top of the list, even if there were no changes (and you can start scrolling down... and then things get really shaky..).
When you flip into a message and back, I think the position is kept, like it is when you switch between the folders via the more menu. Even when you get a new message, you're fine that way it seems (and it is put on top of the list). So it seems as if the "refresh" doesn't have anything to do with including new messages - it's got something to do with the implemenation for reading the lists to memory that's put in on specific points as a script or something (it's not that they "leave" the entire document class, either, because it's kept when you switch contexts..).
Another one of those problems is that if you choose to download messages from somewhere down on the list while you're offline, it doesn't seem to always work, and it kills the connection somehow. Won't work to refresh it either. You have to close it down, and then start over... But it works fine if you open the inbox first, and check it, before scooping down the list. So probably the entire login and connection script is placed on one specific point in the program, and not called as a method if the connection isn't open..
I'll... save you the rant about why that's bad..
