IMO. Bronzy suits the silver version the best. Goes reallly welll with the gold call/end keys and the walkman logo. Then again, purple sky has cooler animations.
Musaic's also good. I especialy like the wallpaper animation when you've got music playing in the background.
BTW, have you noticed that there are keypad light effects when there's music playing? Something like T650's. Really cool. And they change with every song! |

Is it true it sounds like this SonyEricsson phone is pretty stable software in it. Am i right. I really would love this phone. What is reception and speech quality like as well with this phone and music quality. Thanks anyone. |

I was wondering anyone with the w890 and w880 can you tell me is the screen brightness and back lighting on the keypad not as bright on the w890 as it is on the w880? |

Screen's fantastic. Perfect vivid colours and wide viewing angle. It's also very bright but only in well-lit environments due to the light sensor. It decreases brightness in dark placed to save battery life.
As for the keypad backlighting - well, yes, it's very bright in the dark, but in semi-darkness it's a bit hard to see the numbers/characters due to the light beige colour of the backlight blending with the silver keypad colour. But a little shift in the viewing angle can fix that.

So is it true that the screen is plastic? Surprised by that. I thought it was like the T650. |

many thanks for reading.
You can assings different shortcuts of your own there. For instance, you could add a shortcut for calculator, bluetooth, TrackID etc. Then again, my mum's phone came with more than the main menu shortcut in the activity menu (and so did my K810).
Well you see that is weird. on my w810, the shortcut button works fine, but on my w890i, there is no option to add/edit shortcuts? i can assign to the 4 way navigation pad, but not to the shortcut button (next to green phone button).

mrllcoolj if you press the short cut button and scroll down don't you get the option new short cut? Unless the Orange branding has removed this from your phone?
Also still looking for someone to tell me what icon appears on the screen for HSDPA is it showing H or just 3G. C'mon people I have asked this now many times all you need is look at you phone and reply its not hard now.
So please tell me. |

Sure you can. Just press the button and in the My Shortucts tab there's an option called New Shortcut at the bottom. |

a little white'ish/blue'ish square appears near your reception bar, and has either a h or 3g
h = hsdpa
3g = well, 3g

Is this what it shows on yours?
I'm in a HSDPA area and I tried my Vodafone and 3 sim both only show 3G near the reception indicator not H?

you may be in a hsdpa area, but your network might not get that coverage. call vodafone
