Now-a-days, smartphones usually are not hassle-free, unfortunately.
Look at the Nokia N96, successor of the best and most succesfull phone of the year 2007, the N95, and what a disappointment to most of its owners is this N96 !
Apparently the companies rush their new models onto the market, without testing them long enough and the first buyers are some kind of beta-testers.
My husband and I buy these phones usually when they have been on the market for some months already, and after a few software-updates.
They're a lot better then (faster, more stable) and cheaper  .

Join the club. I've been using SE T610 -> K750 -> K790 and now that my K790 has died there is no SE phone worth buying. I skipped K850 (bad picture quality) and now C905 has lots of hardware issues too so I can't buy it.
My advice is get an el cheapo Nokia to tide you over till SE releases something worth buying. |

I find the iPhone 3G is a nice diversion while I wait for just the right phone from SE.
The other choice is buying something in the midrange instead of the high-end. You pay less so expect less and are less disappointed if something goes wrong plus, SE's midrange punch above their weight IMO.
G705 could make a nice cheap alternative to a smartphone if you integrate it with email and PC Suite/MPE. T700 or W595 is worth a look as an in-between phone too.

I joined the club too...
Having 3 times trouble with C905 recently, back to C902 (my fourth C902).
Promised to myself not to but any SE in its first days release because usually have many troubles both hardware and software.
Having tried Nokia E71 but only 1-day usage and I gave it up, back to SE for C902.
No new SE phones after C902 impressed me so I'm stick with C902 until Idou comes... but again I won't buy Idou in its first 3-6 months released, waiting for user reviews to know if it is reliable hardware and software wise.
Why so many SE phones recently have many problems? SE become worse and worse in built quality.
Apple iPhone 4, HTC Evo 3D, HTC Sensation, HTC Inspire 4G, HTC Desire S, HTC Wildfire, S001, SO905iCS, T650 (Gold & Green), C901, W800, K660, K700, Beibei (G702), Severine (DEAD) |

Another vote for the iPhone here, it's the very definition of an intelligent, hassle-free smartphone, and is about to get better with OS3.0 (which fills in all the gaps like copy & paste, MMS, stereo bluetooth etc). Or you could give one of the many alternatives a try, like an Android-based G1 or Magic, or even a new Symbian phone like the Samsung OmniaHD (an Idou in all but camera sensor).
Either way, I'd definitely ditch any loyalty to SE. They're not the same company (or companies) that they once were, they've fallen down in both innovation, build quality and customer support IMO, and they need to earn people's loyalty again with some decent products which, at the moment, they're just not delivering. The Idou is months away and will be thoroughly outshone by others by the time it arrives, just like the Xperia was. 2009 is just going down as another missed opportunity for SE, as far as I can see.

Um.. he's waited a year already and been dissapointed with SE's offerings, he's obviously not satisfied with his current (now old) phone, why exactly should he carry on waiting indefinitely for another "masterpiece" from SE when there's no sign of one on the horizon?

I did something similar to others and have gone to another manufacture and bought an LG Renoir until SE release something stable enough thats worth buying. IMO A200 should have never seen the light of day considering the state of it. Even 1 1/2 years on and it still has the same problems as it did on its initial release. The only A200 phones I've found that are somewhat stable enough are the T700 and the W890 but even those still have some faults.

Yep, fills the lack of features on a £600 odd phone that I can enjoy on a £20 phone!!! Lets not forget the STUPID control of Apples nanny state apps. For instance, someone wanted to sell an app that lets you view newspapers, Apple banned it because The Sun has boobs in it! They also banned a Twitter app because PEOPLE SWEAR ON TWITTER!
Yeah great forward thinking company! Thankfully there are RUMOURS that Apple will introduce parental controls in OS3 and then just maybe relax there utterly old fashioned dumb thinking don't want a law suite controls. So yeah, Apple has the potential to get it right after 2 years!
Yes the iPhone has an amazing OS, well built, but by God it lacks in sssssooooooooooooo many SIMPLE areas that frankly any company launching a consumer aimed device costing more then a laptop should be doing by default! From LAUNCH!
Sorry for the rant but the iPhone is far from the Jesus phone owners would have you believe.
As for the OP, keep your G900 and then as already sudgested buy an Idou at the end of the year, or wait for an Andoid phone you like and isn't locked to a network like the Magic. Unless you like Vodafone? |

been through the a2/a200 pain ... currently on a w705 which has surprised
me - it's actually very stable. I haven't had one glitch/reboot/crash so far (I've
probably just jinxed it though .... ).
The W902 was quite good, slow, but at least it didn't crash.
The C902 ... crashed during calls or texting.
The K850 ... well nuff said there !
The W910 ... More crash central.

If you like, but it's a tired old point that will be history in June. It's true that the iPhone's lacked a few basic features up till now, it's also true that it's had many extraordinary features that will never be found on a £20 phone.
Lets not forget the STUPID control of Apples nanny state apps. For instance, someone wanted to sell an app that lets you view newspapers, Apple banned it because The Sun has boobs in it! They also banned a Twitter app because PEOPLE SWEAR ON TWITTER!

Actually the appstore hasn't even been open 1 year yet, but they've still gotten enough right to distribute one BILLION app downloads, so arguably they're doing something right. They're certainly walking all over Symbian, Android, and Windows Mobile at the moment. With parental controls (which *are* coming in OS3) things should get better.

From launch the iPhone wasn't even a smartphone, just a fancy ipod with a few basic phone functions. The genius of Apple is the way in which they've developed and supported it since then, opening it up to third party apps, addng feature after feature to iPhones both new and old, even right up to this year when all those "soooo many SIMPLE areas" are going to be catered for and even people like you, who've never been near an iPhone, are running out of things to complain about.
