My colleague has one, after looking at hers, my thoughts are:

 

1) Very slim, good point!

 

2) The part where the two pieces meet (it's a slider) has a quite obvious gap, so it looks kinda strange from the side. Not too bad bah.

 

3) The screen is quite large, good!

 

4) The headphones/charger plug is on the side of the phone, memory card slot on the top.

 

5) Battery cover is near impossible to open using bare hands (phone creaks and sounds like you gonna break it), in the end opened easily using a piece of scotch tape to help pull.

 

6) SIM card quite hard to push in, but if you dun change frequently not a big problem.

 

All in all, on the outlook, I think it's quite an improvement (especially size) than the W850i to me personally.

i'm using this phone as well now... overall quite pleased with it

 

only downside to it would probably be the camera... no autofocus and no flash but i seldom use the camera anyway so its not much of a problem for me

I got this phone already too. And I have already gone down to Starhub to change the physical set twice within 3 days of owning it! 1st time the slider 1 side of the 'hook' is loose or sth then the top slider the gap very obviously is slanted one..then when press the slider will 'bounce' up and down...zzz....2nd time....after uploading songs to the phone with the cable, the phone ki siao. Totally cannot call in/call out/sms. I duno off my mobile how many times, attempted to reinsert the sim card but couldnt get the freaking cover out! But about 1 hour later the phone recovered by itself..the next nite i tried again to trf songs...and then kena same problem..this time worse, the phone only allowed me to call/sms the next morning at 11plus! Was so frustrated went down and they changed me my 3rd set.

 

Luckily for now....everything's ok. -.-"

Yes, stick the scotch tape to the battery cover, pull it downwards and use the thumb to push at the same time.

 

only the higher K-series Cybershot phones (i.e. K800i, K810i, K850i ) comes with Xenon flash.

[babyling]

Btw, anyone noes how to use the shake feature for the walkman?

[mutant_sheep]

to me i will said is a W version of S500i..

and i love my S500i so much..

[babyling]

Already found out how to use the shake feature le. >.

[Flora]

one negative point abt the fone is that its keypad cracks easily.

 

once the fone drops, the button on the keypad will crack into half. and the keypad is quite ex to replace.

[babyling]

i dropped it once...never crack leh the keypad. but side casing kena scratched damm heart pain...
