I like this phone very much....stylish :).....I have seen people writing the same thing that it hangs and reboots automatically...well I would like to let you know something...the processor of this phone is not as powerful as it should be...so if you have loads of music, images and videos and other stuff in you memory card, just remove the junk and then see. it will never hangs/reboots. It worked for me. Hope this work for you all too :)

my new Sony Ericsson W910i is a fantastic phone - the best iv ever owned. i love its mp3 player the phone has worked perfectly and looks really stylish. i reccommend it to anyone who is looking for a music phone as it is amazing value considering everything you get for your money
Useless phone. Always getting hanged. I am not in a position to do anything with it. I need a solution for the same.
I've had this phone for almost a year now, and I've found it generally to be reliable and easy to use - my only problem, however, is that the camera quality is not great in low light (as there is no flash unfortunately) and that my background wallpaper sometimes disappears, and the screen goes completely blank for a number of minutes. This is resolved by removing the battery and replacing it, but I would rather not have to do this as it can be inconvenient! Apart from that though, the Sony Ericsson W910i is easy to use, looks great, sounds great, and I have found to be a particularly good choice if you have had an Ericsson previously.
the phone is great but the buttons freeze and it reboots itself continuosly.The first one did that before seven days and i took it back. this one is worse than the other one.I cant take it back due to it started this after seven days.
i like this phone but it starts to reboot by it self.
its soo gr8 iv had no trouble. the onlt thing is y cant the camera have a zoom on it or a light that wuld make the fone perfect. the shake controll is brill and i love goin on the games. overall gr8 fone!
Wicked stuff. Superb phone has all the features you would want, and neat walkman
my new Sony Ericsson W910i is a fantastic phone - the best iv ever owned!!! i love its mp3 player as it saves me having to carry round my ipod. its camera is also great- it takes really good pics. the phone has worked perfectly and looks really stylish. i reccommend it to anyone who is looking for a music phone as it is amazing value considering everything you get for your money.
DO NOT BUY THIS PHONE!!! It is the worst phone that SE ever released!!! After 10 years of using SE phones I cannot believe this one is so bad. The features are great, the look is great, the phone just doesn't work. After Orange have sent me 3 (yes 3!!!) new phones in less than a month and each one has been worse than the one before I am finaly giving up and looking or an alternative.
The phone will not hold a line, will not hold a shortcut and is now continually rebooting. I am so disapointed that I may well now never have an SE phone again. I have 5 contract phones on Orange, 3 of them are Sony, they will not be as they come up for upgrade!!
wicked phone love nothing wrong with it!!!!
this phone is great! i love it! it has everything that you need and more.
I don't know if its just me or if anyone else has had the same problems. My software is out of date on BOTH phones I have been even. Other then that I am happy with the phone just abit worried why software is already out of date???
