A simple rule of thumb to know if a certain model has been officially discontinued in your country. Go to the SE website, choose your country's SE website, choose "see all phones". If the model you're looking for isn't there in the list then it has officially been discontinued.

^^^ Yeah, but for New Zealand it still shows discontinued phones such as the Z520i, so I don't know if thats so trustworthy. I think once you start seeing them at ridiculously low prices, thats when you know its discontinued. Eg. The W950i is under half-price here!

Very interested in a spare Walkman sticker for the Golden White W850i. Lost mine yesterday. I guess the only way to get it would be to buy the supposedly OEM (= 99% chance fake) housing off eBay?

Any other ideas?

Cheers!

@mobse, contact SE through their website email them.
Tell them your sticker fell off your phone and ask them what to do now.
Big chance they send you a new one

There used to be some list done by a fansite I think, with all phones ever released and also with indications on whether it is still being produced does anybody know where I can find that again, just can't remember !
