I played with it for a small while, feels nice. I like the replacable covers. I don't like SE clamshells from inside, though....

So I got the w508! And I can honestly say that I love it. Only one thing.... It's supposed to have Threaded SMS or Conversations view - at least that's what so many reviews and other things say - and it does not. And it's not just my model. I had a chance to try 2 others (from a different batch as a matter of fact) and none of them have the "Conversations" setting in the SMS inbox! What's so weird is that the User Guide on the phone itself talks about this setting and how to get to it, but the phone just doesn't have it!

Also, one other weird thing... A2Uploader doesn't recognize the phone. Weird! I really want it to...

The phone is fantastic, though. Really nice screen, camera, build - feels great! Just this Messaging thing needs to be fixed.

Anyone? Any thoughts?




I took a chance and used a customize_upgrade.xml file now that the_laser (best ever) fixed a2uploader for the w508 and it worked!!!!!!!! The w508 now has conversations view - as it should! Huge props to the guy who wrote the customization (from a different forum). SUPER HAPPY!

After a few googling I managed to create my own xml file...

Threaded inbox is really nice!

Also, it turns out that with adequate lighting, the camera performance is quite well.

Happy owner of a w508 phone. Everything works fine so far. The battery didnt charge to full at first but did fix it with the phone shut down while charging 2 times then it charged to 100%.

Strange is.. that the phone model hasnt been out on the market for such a long time and now its out of production.
