look around on ebay.
ended up ordering a screen guard off eBay and a black silicon sleeve. the screen guard is excellent, a little tricky to put on but it's something everyone should invest in. I just wonder why SONY did not make the 890 with a glass screen? would of made this phone perfect IMO.
not so sure about the silicon sleeve – if anyone wants one mines for sale! |

Just got bored with it and my friend has given me a new Nokia 6500c but i need to get rid of one or the other to be honest. Love the w890i , but need the money more. Wouldnt mind getting another one when they have sorted out the bluetooth playback.

2 weeks about now
Very good little phone and easily better than k850 and w910 combined IMO.
as mentioned before, side port is a major gripe- phone is a lovely shape and size but this makes it wider and (might be as im using an older connector from my old w850) i find the connector is in a much more vunerable and annoying position than w850/k850 models- I guess it is due to thethin build and the internal mechanics of the phone but they sould have considered this if not.
Camera actually rather impressive. Very vibrant colour reproduction and no problems.
I've got used to the small buttons- sending texts is a breeze though this was a major concern of mine before buying the fone.
Speaker very tinny and not very loud for use as an alarm - doesn't really bother me though as still audible. And I get more sleep and less time at work  - good earpiece volume though- seems better than other SE phones.
Vibrate is also....not weak but just hard to feel as the phone is so small, and if it is on a surface it makes a hell of a racket...its still okay though
Anyone worked out what the little white light next to the camera shutter button is yet?
@coolj- still got the 'click' in the audio player- think it is Orange UK specific, but it isn't bothering me too much atm. Still thinking to flash the fone, but not sure I want to just yet.
Can anyone direct me to a link where I can buy a good screen protector for this model here in UK, relatively cheap and from experience. Worried the screen gonna start getting scratched due to plastic (though alright at present). Someone asked why plastic over glass- not sure but perhaps because of weight? being such a small and light handset..?
Also I read in another page SE are looking at releasing A300 platform already?!??!? WTF is wrong with them...? I am a (atm- after return of both crappy w910 and k850) happy SE customer but their whole business ethic seems to be quantity over quality and the expansion of their phones on the market rather than the improvement of the numerous problems on existing phones? I mean it seems to take FOREVER to release vital firmware for any SE phones when problems are normally frequent and sometimes quite serious. I realise the mobile phone market and industry is extremely competitive and always changing but this is an extremely bad stance and business model to follow and I know from reading these forums that SE has suffered a loss of real phone enthusiasts and those who expect quality products with a lot of their recent models. Need to get their priorities straight and stop being such greedy capitalists.
I'm not faulting this phone though- it is a genuinely well designed and built model and seems to have had a good reception from the word go, but other recent models I cannot say the same for.
