@Aware,

W890 easily manages more than a few days. My review model lasted 4 days between charges.


Okay, good. I only quoted the [3] people I know who run them day to day......

p990i(r6d), n82-1(20.0.062)

Thanks for all the replies.

I think I am leaning toward the w890. Re: the w910 I already have... lovely phone (in particular the screen), but the keypad is awful - I end up hitting 4 keys at once and wheras with my w810i I could compose a text message whilst walking down the street, with the w910 it requires concentration and countless presses of the 'c' key to correct the typos. Plus the slider is wobbly, it feels fragile and the call quality is poor - that's why I want to change.

In an idea world, the Nokia 6500 Classic would have the Sony Ericsson user interface and bigger keys and a radio - then I'd have the perfect mobile!

GadgetGeek – with out a doubt based on your criteria the W890i, it is so easy to text with, you will love it. Good luck.

T650 imo is the best A100 phone. Aesthetically, imo again T650 is prettier than w890.
But then again A200 is so much better in multitasking and multimedia experience..

i own now a t650 (lovely visual treats from the keypad lights and ever changing themes!) and i've used my friend's w890.

considering your criteria, go for w890.
go for the mocha brown color

Hi again, have just ordered a sim free W890i in black. I think the looks of the w890 just edge the T650, the keys look better for texting and its a more current model - this is what swayed it for me in the end. Plus, finding a black T650 in the UK is nigh on impossible.

Thanks for all your comments - much appreciated.

Nothing stays exclusive for long. Think about the V600i (had K600 variant after), V800i (Z800 after), V630i (K618i after), V640 (K630 after), Havana Bronze W910i (now available unbranded), etc, etc.

k810 or w810 is the best A100 phone

go for w890 if you want a phone.

otherwise buy K850, it only cost 300 euro right now, and have the same sound as w910 & w890.

Or wait for C702. Also same sound as w890 and better pics than both w890 and t650 not to mention better video. And a200 platform.

As you should be able to read above, the original poster has ordered a W890i. So no need for advice anymore.

T650i back cover after one week begin creak, it's not sweet. I had and sold only for this reason. Not only T650i has this problem, many of lastest SE (like K530, K550 and etc.) have same problem, it's disappointing.

Bought the W890i sim free for £224.95 from...

http://www.directbuyer.co.uk/[....]sson_W890i_Black_Sim_Free.html

That was the cheapest I could find it (didn't want a dodgy import or second hand from eBay).
