/// and se fones arnet the fastest ones, probably u have too much messages stored, del them and lets see what happens. i dont have w9, so have no experiences with it, but thats the first logical step imo.

yes i think its the most logical thing to do is to free up some space...
since youve got 90+ items on your Inbox... nevermind the SMS Inbox.. just the Email Inbox..

ok ive deleted about 20 messages already and its taken me about an hour to do so coz it just keeps on lagging. i guess my last resort is to do a master reset.
if i do a master reset will it delete all my messages on my phone and all my contact numbers? |

If you do a master reset you will loose everything. Contacts, messages, games, sounds, pictures, etc... |

ok i fixed the problem. i noticed that the night before my phone started to lag was when i added a ring tone to each contact on my phone. so what i did was back up the contacts to my memory stick, delete my ringtones, delete my contacts, then restore my contacts from my memory stick. everything is back to normal.
so what i did now is assign ringtones to my contacts again. i like assigning boys, girls, and family with separate ringtones. what i noticed was the more contacts i assign with ringtones the more my phone would lag when im in the messages functions. i had assigned 200 contacts with ringtones and my phone would lag for about 10 seconds whenever id click on something in the messages menu. i tried assigning each contact with a ringtone again and i noticed that when i entered the messages menu it would lag again. so right now i only have about 15 contacts assigned with ringtones and now my phone only lags about 1 second when i click on a funtion within the messages menu. anyone know why this happens? |

Sounds like a perfect bugreport to send to 
as developer it's great to get feedback on how to recreate the problem.
One thing that would be better is if anyone else can confirm this.
Ericsson should defenitly get info and fix this imho.

@Kobe19,
try also to udate your phone software from the SE site. For example I had a problem with my 512 Mb memory stick (included in the pack) and after the update - the problem has gone.

ive been on my phone for almost 2 hours assigning and removing ringtones to people on my contacts. to sum it all up:
assigning contacts with ringtones = lagging in the messages menu
not assigning contacts with ringtones = no lagging
could anyone out there with a W900 try assiging many contacts on their phone with ringtones then go to their inbox and see if it lags or not. i want to know if its just my phone with this problem.
roumen68 could you please give me a link to where i could update my phones software. the current software version my phone has is R5AC011.

Sorry, I couldn't find at first glance a software update for W900i. But I was looking in the SE site for Bulgaria. And there the W900i is still not present. In the UK site I found disk2phone and PC suite for W900i, but not update. You better enter in http://www.sonyericsson.com, choose your country and have a look in "support"

thought i should test, but after like 30 contacts i was all fed up.. took for ever and then deasign them.. it was not worth it today, sorry
but i noticed a slighty slowdown in scrolling my sms but only got like 25 in my inbox.
does it helt chosing no details in sms? to speed things up
got the R5AF001 f/w |

i didnt find much in the SE support section but thanx anyways roumen68!
SKIBBE yeah i know it takes along time assigning contacts with ringtones... it practically took me hours doing it! you said that you noticed a slight slowdown in the scrolling of your sms inbox... well thats exactly what happened to me! the more contacts you assign with ringtones the slower the scrolling will be in your sms inbox. you had assigned only 30 contacts with ringtones but i had assigned 200 contacts with ringtones so you could imagine how slow that would have been! while you were in your sms inbox did you click on "View" or "More"? coz whenever i would click on "View" or "More" it would take about 10 seconds to appear when i had 200 contacts assigned with ringtones. i know have 15 contacts assigned with ringtones and theres now a slight lag for the menu to appear. i guess there is a bug in the w900i!
