Sony Ericsson V630 - User Reviews

  • Just turned on this phone after several years...it still has battery left. Sturdiest phone i've ever had (8 years old)

  • I have the V630 and have changed the sim card with new phone,after changing back i cannot find how to re set predictive text.. anyone help please e mail me at [email protected]

  • What a phone! This was my first ever phone (when I was about 9) and I still use it! I did have a Samsung galaxy S I switched back to this since I love it! Unfortunately it has the dreaded 'operation failed' bug and the battery is not doing so well (due to age) but if I bought a new battery it would be lasting a week easily! Maybe after this phone I will buy the K800i :-)

  • very good phone i have never seen such a phone i use it for 6 years it have every option but do not have FM radio only

  • great phone, um still using it as my primary and serving well..Never trubles me.. Good 4 hard use..

  • Aww man, I remember my parents gave me a budget at the mall and i couldn't afford a W810. I remeber we were leaving and I was so depressed when I couldn't find a good enough phone for my budget then I stumbled on to this phone at the last shop the EXACT amount of my budget and we just clicked. Best decision EVER!! it fell in the toilet and a pot of oil and still worked lol... The sound was soo loud too!!

  • I have this phone for 5 years but now the problem is the battery. It wont charge. if only I have extra battery, I'm sure this phone will still be kicking. :D

  • any idea how to unlock this model cause it says normal and Flight mode. I am not sure about please help me out, Thank you.

  • Mine still does work

  • I wanted a phone to talk to people, text, with sound message, with a camera, ,notes, a calculator and an alarm. I got them all here , but now I just need GPS badly. It has served me well.

  • this is nice phone

  • Amazing, that is all!

  • Had this phone for nearly 7 years now. its still functioning well, the only thing is that the battery life is decreasing, but i replaced the battery it stil be amazing. Also the connection/charging portal seems to be worn after all these years and makes it a bit tricky to charge at times. :D

  • yes is a good phone :)

  • where can i get one to purchase

  • Great phone, I'm having it for 4 years, but I think to change it, but what memories about V630i, probably the best phone until smartphones

  • A Fantastic phone, lasted me 3 years, dropped a few times, Bounced Off walls a treat, brilliant for stress relief Lol, haven't made a decent sony ericsson Since, shame its discontinued... would definetly buy it again.

  • I've had this phone since the phone first came out, so the dark ages, it's a fantastic phone for people who just want a phone to work! It has been dropped more times than I remember and still works like a dream! If you're looking for a work phone, look it up and buy!

  • This device is a bomb. V630 is a legend. I've had it for 4 years now. Battery still lasts for 6 days. The mobile is responsive, user friendly, light, small, looks great, probably indestructible... Never had a problem with it. When I bought this phone I became fan of Sony Ericsson.

  • very nice

  • Decent handset till it had an accident with a full kitchen sink.

  • the phone is vry gud but my problem is that i cant find the housing since mine is worn out

  • the phone is vry gud but my problem is that i cant find the housing since mine is worn out

  • it is drurable and good phnone

  • Just take out and re insert the memory card.thats it.

  • I agree to that...this phone is really very useful to me..no need to use digicam for events.use its camera and attached the usb to your computer and that's it...:-)

  • Ok, so can someone pls help me set up my internet. I struggle to get into my mini opera. When i contact my network they keep telling me, my data is too full... Huh?

  • Excellent phone .. I had this phone for more than 3 years now .. in my few anger moments I threw it on the floor and continued working normally .. if you close 3G network option its battery can still working for nearly 3 days in a normal usage .. lately I had a problem in its mic, my sound can't be hear well, that's the only reason for me to get a new phone .. thanks SonyEricsson for such a perfect phone :)

  • i have this phone for 4 years and it's a really good phone. i had just a problem with this phone. when i was playing games the screen gone white and after that it didn't started anymore.you can try to reinstall the software.this is what i've done to solve it problem.

  • I've had this phone for more than 4 years, it has been a good phone,reliable the menu made more sense than those of his predecesor V640i unfortunately now it started to fail ,it shuts down without a reason during calls or even without doing nothing,even so i don't consider it a bad phone, not many phones last this long without having a problem (hope I'll be able to fix it just because I liked it so much)

  • i got the same problem!! if i go to games or app's, operation failed!!

  • i got the same problem!! if i go to games or app's, operation failed!! What can I do to solve the problem?

  • because you have to update your phone's software!!!!!

  • Why does my phone switch off by itself?

  • Why does my phone switch off by itself?

  • Hmm....you should search for Operating sistem update for the V630, random shut down and games not working are a common problem with this phone....so to fix it, get the newest Update

  • I've had my v630i for a few months now and i've mostly praised it. But that is until latety. I've named my 8 phone CRASH & BURN because that's exactly what it's been doing lately. I can be surfing the internet or browsing my gallery when suddenly the screen goes blank and i have to start from scratch. Can someone pls tell me how i can rectify this problem?

  • i got the same problem!! if i go to games or app's, operation failed!!

  • Can someone pls tell me is there any way of deleting unwanted demo games from the V630i? They take up too much space. Thanks.

  • Thanks there Tiliiilit. You must think i'm a real moron. Should have figured that out myself. Thanks pal. Smokin' Aces.

  • Though i have had it 3 years ago Though my wife dropped it from third floor to ground Though i flashed it 100 time and wrote its gdfs 3 times Though being discontinued now by sonyericsson I am in love with this fone cos it is durable, third generation, run java applications till advanced family of jsr-75 and very good in connecting to internet very well and fast and secure It support themes and has a beautiful external music player keys for fast access Its battery lasts very long except if you switched on 3g networks Really worthy phone Thanks alot SonyEricsson

  • i have this phone since september 2006 and it is a very good one. Not one problem since now. My neighbor dropped his v630 fron 3rd floor to 1st floor at window and still running when took it, the battery was in it`s place, the phone still switched on. it`s good and durable.

  • press 1 and 3 .. zoom in/out ;)

  • Can someone please tell me how to enlarge (zoom in on) my pictures in my gallery. Unlike the K750i there is no edit that can enlarge my pictures. :'(

  • I've had it for one year and all the buttons have turned faulty as well as it switching off by itself. This all happened when it was exposed to rain so i wouldn't say it was very waterproof.

  • Had my phone now for a couple weeks. So far,so good. Just a couple of stuff i'd change like add a radio,make the gallery options exactly like the K750i. (I like zooming in on my picture downloads). Otherwise worthwhile to own.

  • i had this phone for almost 2yrs. and still the phone is in good condition, and im still using it the only problem i encountered in this phone is that there is no fixed radio included on the feature of this phone i have to buy the station of the radio before listening to a station. but the phone is very durable and excelent in terms of application and sounds i love the speaker of the phone...

  • if the phone hadded an Auto Focus it would be execelent! but still 8/10

  • Hey what types of videos can this phone support?

  • Its nice dude!!!!! Suitable for Hiphops. Totally rocking .And its internal memory is not 10mb its 20. ............

  • Ok , the "operation failed" message occured to me also I searched for solutions on the web till i learned how to "flash" my phone (means to install its software) Plz flash it only if you know wat u are doing or you may lose your phone If you can not, send it to service center

  • just go to your player press more than the 1ste option en then equilizer put everything to the top en your sound is bigger but your baterie wil go down faster and my speaker is blown up after a year using it at maximum sound XD

  • V630i and V640i are relatives but this is a bit more rough as i think after using it 1 year, i would rather choose this. The design is handy and all functions are usefull. V640i is the same just some design changes after my opinion.

  • does it have msn?

  • i heard it exist's a code , to make the phone sound louder ... who know's that code ?

  • The v630i is the best and it has more function and faster internet

  • Superb phone, lots of great functions. worth the money.

  • very attractive phone and good :)

  • Luv this fone, simply the best. i bought this fone for only 75 Euros. Cheap fone with best quality...

  • Really a good deal concerning its price and hi-tech technology

  • This is really the BEST fone I EVER SEEN or used!

  • i would like to say that its agood phone and answare some qustion 1- you cant locked keypad or any massages with passward 2- you can send massage for some recipients and you can change any one saftely 3- if u busy you can see the numbers which calls u but the caller will hear message till him that phone is closed 4- you cane take pic for long viw by panorama mode and alot

  • If you`re looking for a sturdy phone well.. this is it. I have this phone for almost 2 years now and it`s still runnning flawlessly. It has survived countless drops on the street, a few times it stood in the rain and today it survived an X-Ray exam (forgot to take it out of my pocket). Very fast phone, 3D java accelerator beats almost all symbian nokias, loudest speaker (except 6233), superb camera (beats the e51, 5700ME etc). So far I am pleased. It seems that Sony Ericsson has come up with a winner.

  • For any person having restart problem in this phone please try this simple method . Remove battery from it for 6 hours then reinsert . You may be asked to do some settings or copy sim no to phone do and dont worry . No more restart problem. Try it and tell me

  • can we put a code to block the keypad or to block the messages(like motorola)?? TY

  • But is possible to block on this one?? It's a Sony Ericsson and normally it's impossible... Help me

  • Yes you can block most phones with camera and music player

  • Can someone tell me if we can block some applications on this phone? It's important you to say me if it's possible because i'm thinking about buying it!Help me

  • Can we lock and unlock some applications like motorolas and nokias?messages..multimedia..keypad PLEASE tell me, help me!

  • Can we put a code to lock and unlock the keypad, like nokia??

  • Is possible to "block" some applications on this phone??Like messages or sth like that... TY :)

  • i just started using d phone & with d littel time dat i had been using d fone, it never disappoint, so much luv d fone, it look so attractive & it's rugged, it has a gud sound production, it snap a gud quality at nigth shut.

  • is k618i the same as v630!!!!!!!!!!wich one sings louder???????

  • I had this phone for a year and a half and i can say it's a good phone comapring price/quality. It takes relativly good photos but in the dark it's like a fish out of watter. The sound is good but it coud be better. It has a simple menu altough it would have been better a standard SonyE menu. All i can say it that is an acceptable mobile phone if anyone has a diferent oppinion :P it's there's and not mine

  • Had this phone a year and it is quite possibly worst phone ever! - keeps turning itself off for no reason (there's mention below of a firmware update - can I do this myself?) - predictive text doesn't recognise simple words (and isn't receptive to changes and edits) - phone keeps 'losing' the memory card and so I have to shutdown and reinsert it. - texting: can't send to multiple recipients - texting: if you select the wrong recipient you can't change to another. Only way round is to copy & paste body text into new SMS. Crazy! Give me a Nokia anyday. If I could find a way to stop it shutting down then maybe I could live with it...

  • I have this phone for almost 1 year. Reliable phone. Takes relatively good photos (distance up to 10m gives the best shots). Sound quality in music player could be better ( too much treble in it). If using T9, it can be a real torture in the beginning to use it with the greek alphabet.

  • quite good mobile for the money i paided for. i bought it with a 1GB m2 card, and its really good spend money i came off off a vodafone v710, before i had severall SE's and always were fast and reliable. same with this V630, its fast in the menu. and if you got a hang on it the multitasking can be so fast. the sound is also good compared with my vodafone v710 camera is a lot better. and the design is alot stronger all overall a 8.5 i think, am added camera cover and autofocus should make a 9 i think

  • wats d difference between K618???

  • vodafone simply the best

  • it is a very good phone and is cheap

  • the sound have a high quality

  • The thing about recording calls is very commune. I have a t610 and it has the same problem...Can't wait to get this phone

  • Have had this phone for almost a year now. The issue with it turning itself off is common, but took it to store where I bought it and they sent it back to SE. SE did some kind of firmware update on it and it has worked like a dream since. Love the phone and features.

  • can anyone tell me how do i save games on to my phone from the pc using a usb connection tks and rgs

  • it's avery good phone,i'm very satisfied with it. BUT it has a problem recording calls sometimes by giving the impresion that it has a mini bottle of Jack D instead of a battery.:D

  • u can turn off the 3g by this step 1- go to setings 2-conectivity 3-mobile networks 4-gsm/3g network then u should take the gsm by chosing it from gsm only

  • i dont�t know. i had this phone only one week, i hate it! the camera is very bad. you can only zoom, when it is on VGA or 1MP.. it has too much internet-things... thats a problem... the software is bad... it sucks

  • can someone please tell me how your turn the 3g off. ive to keep charging it every day. getting fed up. only got it less than a week ago. can anyone help please and thanks.

  • i don't like this phone is very ugly ..... i sell my phone and now i have an nokia 6300

  • Got this phone for xmas but the battery just keeps draining for no apparent reason. The 3G Symbol is on how do i turn this off. Please help befor i give it back.

  • Great camera pictures by day, really crapy on low light, even with night mode turned on. :((

  • i've been using this phone for just over a month now, and i like it very much. i only have some troubles with it crashing every now and then.. one time i was playing the WTA tennis game while listening to music, the phone shut off because the battery was drained (which is normal) but after charging the phone and starting it again, all my games and themes were somehow deleted! every now and then when i move through the menus too fast it hangs, to restart it i need to remove the battery and put it back again.

  • ye i have the same problem with turning on and off.. but still, GREAT celly

  • i love this phone !!!

  • I have this phone too. It keeps turning off and now eventually it turned off and now it wont turn on. Headphones very poor quality. what up with that will still buy a sony ericsson because i am a fool. Just bought 1 actually. Up the duff with my 6 child at the age of 19 thanks to damien. Told him to get it snipped.

  • I have had this phone for just over one year. I have only had one problem with it, and that is that it keeps turning itself off. Otherwise I highly recommend this phone. The Radio version of this phone was released, however due to Vodafone Software, had to be removed. If you can find a NON-Vodafone SE v630i, and you want a good, cheap phone with a radio... Buy This One!

  • I had trouble with my phone turning its self off on a regular basis. I took it into the shop and they replaced the battery for me. Have not had any trouble since. good phone to have.

  • i have bought this phone for christmas and i have heard from some people that this phone cuts out on you jsut like that...has that happend to many??

  • cud SE release one with radio capabilty coz thats the only thing lacking in this fon otherwise great fon!

  • Just bought this phone and all i can say is that is made for every person that is willing to buy a cheap and good phone.

  • i buy this mobile from 1 month and i see it very good life time for battery >>> Excellent Camera is Good Bluetooth is very good ---- That's all i see on it

  • some pictures made with my v630i(Romania/Craiova)link to pictures:

  • coll.games

  • au contraire...the batery is very good....the firmware update link....http://forums.se-nse.net/index.php?showf­orum=84

  • it's a great phone, i had to chose between nokia 6234 and v630i and i chose v630i good camera ,the pcitures are very clear,vivid coloros,i'm pleased with the phone and impresed by the camera, i took a lot of pictures and all are great not blury,batery life aprox 4 days talk time moderate 15-20 min ,games,camera and music,listen to music excesiv 2 days lasts the bat. i like it kiks nokia but anytime and the price is sexy.

  • does this phone take good pictures? can you show me one picture took with it? thx a lot =D

  • the battry is very low

  • want to change the firmware(that personalized menu by vodafone it's crap!)...how do i change it? does anyone have an idea(some kind of a tutorial would be nice or some links)pls reply plssss:(

  • i bought this mobile from 2 week and i saw it very good

  • i do not like vodafone menu it is booooring

  • if the keys seem to be pressing themselves send the phone to service. I have sent it twice: first time they updated the software (nice but didn`t solve the problem) second time they replaced the keyboard. I now have a fully functional v630 with faster reactions and better music/camera

  • Here is something from me:

  • Well i'm satisfied with it but it switches itself off every 2 or 3 days.It's annoying and i'm soon going to give it back for repair...

  • If I buy a 2Gb MicroSD card for this phone, it's surely that works?

  • or you can change de menus from de firmware by using far manager and dcu 60 usb cable.

  • @ daniel Yes you can remove the vodafone menus by flashing K610 firmware.

  • This mobile is so cool .I have this phone it's so cool.The prce is advantage the design is realy good ,performance are better.

  • i've bought it 2months ago, i'm very satisfied, but i don't think the sound is great, W-series have a better sound, they have the mega bass option... the camera is very good, battery life is great, it lasts for 5-6 days with some mp3 listening all in all very good phone for 150�, and i've got that SE speakers free with it...very good

  • i'm curious:i have the vodafone version with the VERY ugly vodafone menu.can i change the software or something???i want to chamge that ugly menu .It's soo boooriiinggg!!!!pls reply .thanks:)

  • You can also use SanDisk M2 memory cards that are significantly cheaper than Sony's.

  • Never had any problem with the phone, I bought a 1gb M2 card and now use it as an mp3 player too, the sound quality is excelent, the bad things about it could be the battery time and the rare and expensive type of card(M2 exclusive to sony ericsson)

  • I have had nothing but problems with my phone.it went back for it first software upgrade when was just 8weeks old.the phone is now 10months old and had two more software upgrades, to no avail. I have also had nothing but problems, gone round in circles with Sony Ericsson customer service.My phone is being replaced by a nokia. I would not recommend sony ericsson phone to anyone.

  • hello ..when i bought this phone , on my display didn't was the 3g icon... now after i verified my email using my mobile it appears...what`s mean that 3g icon?cause i couldn't find in user manual

  • good phone although doesn't pick up my voice for the receiver to hear very well has anybody else had this problem? can it be fixed simply or did you have to send it away

  • lol...this is exactly the same as that k618 only with vodafone capability

  • I have dis phone for 1 year..I didnt have any problem, but lately it turns off by himself. Once every 2-3 days, even if the battery is full or almost full. If anyone had dis problem too, pls tell me how did he solve it. Its from the battery or from the soft? I must upgrade it? Senq! Peace & Love!

  • i would like to find out if the three orange things on the back of the phone are all speakers because they look so but in only one of them i can hear...can anyone, please, tell me how can i set up my phone to make all the three speakers heard! thanks

  • in the box you'll find the phone , the charger, 256 MB memory card micro M2 , user's manual, a 2.0 usb cable , stereo headset with handsfree!

  • i want to know with what accesories does the phone comes! Thx :)

  • if you update this phone you update this phone on the sony ericsson update service you will iron out just about all the glitches, and more refined cam ect.

  • the mp3 player looks more like the ones on w serier only that when you start the mp3 it doesn't show the lenght like the w series! the phone has allmost the same features like the w series except track id and radio!

  • Does anyone know where i can download a flash player for this phone. Thanks

  • if the keys seem to be pressing themselves then replace the sim card(software corrupted on sim),turn off 3g to get rid of the echo

  • excellent phone! a bit tricky with the tv function, but it's probably from the operator.i've had it for over 1 year and i can't think abut changing it..it s like forever young..:)

  • I use 2GB card in this phone and it works fine.

  • Card slot Memory Stick Micro (M2) ... But witch is the maximum sise (MB/GB) supported memory card?

  • i luv dis pone..

  • i have the phone for over 5 months and its wonderful. has everything you might need.

  • excellent

  • Great ph

  • Had this phone for a year (V630). It has an awful echo for the person calling. The echo goes away sometimes when the phone is turned off/on. Another problem encountered is that it switches off by itself. A few weeks ago it started pressing buttons by itself! The phone is now almost impossible to use. Apart from all of these problems it wasn't a bad phone. The camera sucks a bit though and there is no flash!

  • I want to know also the name of the song plz

  • V630 is virtually a rebranded K618i. so, IMO, anything that works on K618i will work on V630 too.

  • what kind of mp3 player does it have? like the W-series or K-series? i'm going to buy it, i had a W600 but it broke many times, in 10 days the camer a stopped working, then, tje bluetooth and some numbers on the keypad stopped working...great s*it...i didn't have much luck with it...hope that V630 will be better...but i must know which type of mp3 player does it have

  • All k750i, w810i etc themes work with the v630i-

  • I just bought it, it's a very good phone for that price.. But does anyone know where I can get free themes for it or which phones support the same themes?

  • good phone! can anybody tell me the name of the song in the video? thanks

  • oh! stopped ! this phone is great , the sound is loud enough ( sound is more loud than ugly nokia 5200 ) buy it! I'm very happy that i have SE v630i ..and you'll be! P.S. sorry for my english :)))

  • Can anybody tellme about the ring sound of this phone ( v630 ) is loud like nokia 5200 if i play any clip or mp3 the sound is loud or what ? please send to me on my e-mail ([email protected] )

  • plz can anyone tell me if this mobile is good or not, wanna buy it for 1,300 L.E only but whats wrong with it, all ur opinions made me scared to buy it

  • im going to buy it, just about 120 euro...new! i dont like, no led, no af, no camera protection but design is fancy... :D

  • the phone's designs is seriously nice . it's just that it doesnt have infrared . no offence

  • It's a big catastrophe that this phone does not have: - objective cover/protection (the previous model had it) - it doesn't have flash for photo (the previous model had it) Too bad, it could really be a nice phone.

  • Bought the V few days ago. Replacing a stolen K750i. +ves: Looks nice, bright display, 3G, Large phonebook. -ves: uneasy keypad, short battery life, pick up/hang up phone aren't very SE. I had bad luch with my handset the speaker is defected sound breaks when phone moves.

  • i will go to buy this phone this week.I like very much v630i but i dont like a little this phone because :NO RADIO NO LIGHT ON CAMERA NO INFRARED

  • can we enjoy window live messanger on v630 from vadafone too as 3 network?

  • It's my second phone and I use it for vodafone only.It's cheap it has alot a features and it's also 3G at a price that rivals the none 3G phones. I'm happy with it and it's going to stick around for a year maybe 2.

  • Had the phone for five days now and i am so pleased with it-its so jam packed with features and it performs extremely well in every aspect-and the battery life is AMAZING! Highly recommended! 9/10

  • phone is gr8 . but it isnt very beautiful. camera is solid. mp3 player is vvvvveeeeeeerrrrrrryyyyy good. battery life-ok. i have this phone 1 month and its solid. i would čike to buy SE w710 or w300i.

  • Is there an upgrade for the V630 to interact with Phone to PC Vista.

  • hello everyone , i need to know one thing about that phone ?? can i install other SIM than vodafone & use the video call featur & watch TV if that SIM support it???? or that phone is locked to Vodafon networks worldwide ?? i know that K610 is nearly the same ,, but the black color of V630 is better & its more cheaper than K610 about 18% in price .

  • What does the other vodafone theme look like? is it another white and red one?

  • You should easily find lot of themes for the phone, those pre instaled are so booooring!. And yes, there is only one speaker, but it's enough, you ca hear it very well. The rest are only for design purposes.

  • I think that the two other speakers are for the look of the phone and not for sounds

  • does this phone have 3 speakers? then why are the 3 round speakers orange circles behind? it hears just one..can anybody explain? :d

  • Thanks for clearing that up dan :)

  • Thanks for your reply- I was thinking there would be just one pre-installed theme because in al the photo's of the phone, the vodafone live theme is used! LOL Do the other themes look nice?

  • @k I think theres 5 preinstalled themes, 2 Vodafone themes and the 3 default K610 themes.

  • I like this phone! It has some problems: no autofocus, no scrollig text in the mp3 player and in the camera mode it doesn't have the option NO SOUND. Anywhay, i like it! It's very teenish! :D

  • Is the main menu nice? How many themes are pre-installed? Thanks

  • Got this phone for a month now, so i compared it with K750. It has a little better picture quality, but no autofocus or light. In the mp3 player, k750 sounds a lot louder, and it has the Mega Bass option, so for that K750 is a lot better (no radio for V630). As for the display, V630 has much brighter image, but still, the black colour is turning to blue... The few pluses for V630 are the 3G option, the smaller M2 card, and the louder level for alert in its speaker. And it's prettyer. :)

  • the is handset in very good but i think the battery is not strong enough best regards

  • Does ne one else av de nokia menus on der sev630????

  • I had this phone for about 5 months and in general its only ok, the camera is shockingly bad for both vids and pics cos in the dark you cant see nothhing due to no flash, i have recently changed to a w880i, it is much better x

  • @ Khaled Those guys that had to replace their phone 3 times either don't treat their phone properly or are just very unlucky. Although I don't own this phone, my mate does, and is a pretty neat phone, and I've used it sometimes, and I've found no problems with it. I would recomend getting it. Though if you are going to use it as an MP3 player, I would recomend getting the In-Ear Headpfones (The ones that come with Walkman Phones) as they are better quality and are more comfortable.

  • I got this phone about 2 weeks ago. Great phone, amazing mp3 player good camera and overall good phone. And it shows videos very well. I would reccomend this phone.

  • this phone is great i love it but my batery wers oup easly its a wonderfull phone

  • I Am Going to buy this phone , but i dont know after i read all these opinions , is it bad or good ? , i think it is great , but there are these guys who replaced it over 3 times and the other one who have problem with voice ... can someone tell me what is bad about that phone before i buy it ?

  • i have got this fone for three days and i loved it for its great performance exellent sound good camera

  • don't have this Vodafone verson...just the origial K610i...but either way the phone is sexy, great features!

  • ive had this phone for 7 months and love it it cost me $450au i had a O2 Xphone2 And Since i swapped and baught this one i havent looked back since then the camera is just perfect for any moment it only takes a sec to wip it out and bang the photos taken ina sec the speakers are just perfet for most music BUT the supplied headfones are crap u wiil need to buy the IN-ear version THIS is a perfect Mix of a Cybershot And A WALKMAN I Recomend This Phone A+++++++

  • I just got it. It works fine for me...

  • Had it since August... work in a phone shop, and still can't get a better 1... every phone these days has problems... and this 1 doesn't have that many, never got it replaced, never got it fixed! LOVE IT!

  • it seems so much better in the review then in real life. a litlle disapointing!

  • Video is crap and only 1 speaker-Software is also crap [email protected]

  • Ive had this phone since august last year, ive had it replaced 3 times due to factory software problems and i know for a fact that in October last year in Australia they were recalled for a short time because of these problems. Im on my 3rd model now and im having the same problems yet again, so ive made a complaint to Sony Ericsson! I would not reccommend this phone to anyone!!!!!!

  • I've bought the phone few months ago. It's cheape. only 200euro in Bulgaria. the sound is perfect and i am really happy that i have v630i!

  • J, I've V630 and use it with my MBP. In order to sync your contacts and calendars you can get iSync plugin from this site (works over both Bluetooth and USB), it's only just over 2 Euro; unfortunately Apple hasn't released official support for this phone with iSync. For file transfer between the phone and the Mac you can either use Bluetooth or connect the phone with supplied USB cable. When used with the USB cable the phone's memory card appears on the Mac as a removable disk and the transfer is much faster than with BT. Let me know if you have any other questions.

  • Hi, Does anyone know if this phone is Mac compatible? Thanks

  • i have this phone in about 5 month now & it;s working perfectly the sound it's awesome...everiting it's perfect about tis phone...great picture...3 days battery life in full usage music speach everiting it's okay ...& the price it's ok about 100 euro on vodaphone romania

  • Bought it a few months ago, works perfectly... =)

  • well i fink it is the best fone ever so all ur comments r such a lie my m8 got it and it the best and im gettin it very sooon

  • Attention (It looks like a Walkman phone but it isnt, its more) If you are looking the V630 as a music player, you will have to buy SE Earbuds and a bigger M2 memory card than the 256mb card and rubbish earphones provided as standard, but with the wonders of the internet you can pick these up quite cheaply. I got a free set of SE speakers from Vodafone as standard and would advise those without to invest in a set of these little babies as they truly must be heard to be believed. When placed together they are the same size as the phone itself and are great for taking on holidays. As for the 3G TV its great for watching my favourite football shows and the premiership goals 15 minutes after the match ends. This is ideal for when im at work and dont have the pleasure of watching it on my plasma as I dont miss much of the action. I hope its only a matter of time before they start showing live matches on it. My only disappointment is with the camera having no autofocus or flash and there is no FM radio. If you are looking these features and can do without the 3G I would highly recomend the SE W610i, though personally I cant miss my football and still see the goals my beloved MU score even when im in work and pefer the V630 which ive had for 5 months now with no problems....... The choice is yours

  • I brought this phone 8 months ago. After 3 months I had to get it replaced because it turned off and wouldnt turn back on. Now the replacemnt phone switches itself off when I'm in the middle of something. i find the battery life terrible, have to charge it on a daily basis. It also wont play my MP3 downloads.

  • Have this phone for a few days now. I can hardly hear the person Im talking to on the phone. Got the volume on max.

  • hey everyone i'm thinking about buying this and i need to know what you feel about it's battery life compared to other 3g phones. it's my main concern. thanks. otherwise, it seems really cool

  • Hello, I Bougth this phone and I am very saticfied. the sound quality is very good for an MP3 player but 256MB of m2 micro was not enough for me. I was a little disappointed for some java programs/games for not being completely compatible with the keypad (lazy Java programmers?).

  • yes supports jsr-82 and comes preloaded with a bluetooth tennis game so you may play against other opponents!!!

  • Does this phone support JSR-82 ? a Java feature that allows you to use bluetooth in a java application e.g bluechat. Can someone download a bluetooth app and plez tell me ? thanks

  • Im thinking of buying this phone as my sharp 550sh had a bit of an accident a broke da headphones and also i no longer get free credit(cost 90eur got 80call free)the battery on my phone is currently exellent (500 hours) is this phone worth upgradin to? 550sh themes n stuff r also obsolete :( . thnx

  • I was thinking about buying the ear buds (HPM-70) which come with most of Walkman phones and give my MP3 player to my girl friend (Sony NW-E405) Is it Worth it? Or the quality of the sound is worse?

  • By the way sou o GusG. the first battery didn't work that well, but maybe i didn't charged it as I should the first 3 times. Now, the new one its very good. It last 3 days straight and even a bit longer even listening to music occasionally and sending tones of SMS. They're free here in Portugal eheh so u can imagine..

  • OneTouch Brigad�o for the software alternativo =) its a lot better.

  • this phone is very nice. You must buy it .the camera and sound are fantstic !!!! BUY IT NOW !!! :))))

  • i want to buy it, can every one tell me is a good phone or not and the good thinks and the bad thinks thanks to every body

  • Kind of anoying too..

  • hey!this phone is gr8.i had it 4 nearly a year now.hasnt given me any problems phonewise.i have had a few problems wiv the components of the fone.like earphone and charger slot.mines abit loose.just wondering if any oone else does the same.please write back. thanks

  • how do you turn off the green flashing light on the top of the phone?Im sure it wastes the battery!

  • Jack, its very important to know how to charge the first time battery of the phone. the charge must be around 14 hours. second time oround 5-6 hours. the battery get full potential after 3-4 time of charge. i have that phone and when i turn off the 3G option the phone take around 3 days live time battery in normal use.

  • better go with the w810i ..is a way better phone...3g is usless 90%of the time

  • People as already said turn off 3G since it is quite useless must of the time and You can safe a lot of your bat;

  • i hav a white one of these fones & the battery wears out in one day. one day!!!! that is with little music playing and on keylock, most of the time off!!!!!!!!!! i am not very pleased after all as i said it was the best fone i have ever had earlier.

  • I Gusg from my experience it is not very normal, since mine can handle sms, call and a bit of music with speakers in max for about two days battery. But I have the 3G off to save bat since it is useless unless you use Vodafone Life,mms or videocall.

  • Is it normal that the battery wears off in a bit more than a full day with small music-listening time and only sending sms?

  • wot are SE Earbuds are they headfones does the v630 have a headfone port is the k618 out in england bye PLEASE ANSWER MY QUESTIONS A.S.A.P

  • well i just got this handset and omg i was so impressed with it cant think of anything wrong with it if any one can let me know

  • Hello, I have this phone in about 1 week and it's the coolest phone i ever had...no problems with echo or anything describe in all the post...i give this phone a 10...the only minus is the radio!!!

  • i have this fone in white the best fone ive ever had. got everythin i need but there is one downside. no radio which i was expecting, and for the music streaming the expect yu to pay �5/month!!

  • i love it !!! in bulgaria some of my friends have se v630i.. :)))

  • have been offered a v630 from vodafone 1. what size memory card do you get with it ? 2 what is picture quality like? 3 how long can you record videos for? cheers.

  • dave yes they are very very very same phone bcos k618i is the non vodafone version of v630i. hehehe you just knew it? both are old phones now hehe :)

  • HEy!please look at sony ericson k618 they are very very very very very very very very the same.im getting this phone

  • Answering your questions: 1. No FM radio 2. Yes it has flight mode 3. You can only use SE earbuds unless you can fund some kind of accessory to use the regular earphones. (the Se earbuds can be use as an handsfree kit) 4. The vadafone menu as extra options considering the operator, it as shortcuts for vodafone services, vodafone look icons etc...if you don't like this carrier you can shift to the brother K618. 5. Great phone you can install a all bunch of games applications etc - I have kamasutra, messenger RSS feeds, games, maps etc in mine.The sound is far the best I've heard in phones of the same stage, is very loud from the built in speaker (yes it as only one speaker the other to are design only, but it sound like a entry/middle lever laptop speakers). Using my phone explorer (an SE fan open source programme u can njoy the most of the phone from sending sms via pc, to installing java games easily. It case of doubts u can also count on SE users LOL :) witch a ensure u is a plus...I have only one thing to tell u about the phone..buy it, and love it ;)

  • Hi guys, a few quick questions. 1. Does the phone have FM radio? 2. Does it have flight mode (that means you can listen to music while the phone is off, does it not)? 3. Can you use any standard earphones or does it have to have a speical connector? 4. How many frames per second is the video recording (if you wave your hand in front of the camera, does it pick it up or is it jagged)? 5. What is the difference with the "Vodafone" menu? Does it just have extra options? 6. Any other worthy notes about the phone? Some of these have probably been anwsered, but there are ~30 pages. Thanks.

  • does anybody knows a player so i can skip some parts of a movie?and how can i get it?

  • Does anyone know if i can install flash player and where can I get it . I would apreciate your help. Thank you.

  • could anone tell me if i can install track id one this phone and if i can where do i get it from please help me

  • nik ... what do you mean with "java isn't java"? I have 150 java games (Midp 1.0 and 2.0)installed in my 256MB memory card, and i can play all of them without any problems, and with perfect precessing, display, soumd quality. And about the map... i have installed 2 applications that shows the globe, countrys, cities, etc and another applications that shows the weather and the time in all the countrys. I don't know what kind of map you talk. And i also have installed many other applications, like Cientific Calculator, Image Editing, Kamasutra, Messenger, Bluetooth Chat... If you can't install any application is because your mobile has some problem, or YOU have a problem and you dont give a sh*t at using a mobile phone. Great mobile phone... it has everything I was looking for, and at the best price you can find with these specs.

  • I have bought a SE And I like it. I would recomand it to everyone who whants a SE phone. Good photo quality and sound especially on his own speaker

  • what do you mean the java isn't java ?

  • This is one great phone. Awesome sound and picture quality. I would recommend it to anyone.

  • think it's a nice phone but don't know cuse i've never used it:)

  • I've just bought the phone and I have to say that I'm very surprized about it's build quality and performance. The only thing that I think it shouldn't be absent is the IR port, for communication with devices that don't have Bluetooth. And maybe it would be nice to have a QVGA display ;-)

  • I have this phone for about 4 mounths, and now don't like it. the java is'n java. I can't install a map and other little programs in it.

  • Yeah man,you can...it plays mp3 and AAC..it reads .gif as well as .jpeg..All the best!

  • Hi guys!Just got this handset and it is just great...great camera(to bad it doesn't have a flash),great sound quality and good overall performance.The best money-smarts ratio.If youre thinking about purchasing it,syop thinking and just get it,you won't regret it!! ;)

  • best fone ever

  • u can get the fone in white aswell as black

  • @useless sony hey the sound is loud enough.. if the message sound is not loud enough for you even if you maximize it in settings, just play the message tone or ring tone and while playing adjust it in the upper rigntside orange buttons. thats the other adjustments of volume. you cant say its your worst, you just had it for a day. just ask questions here. alot in here can help you.

  • Amazing fone. Just got it 2day. The only ting is the the camera isnt dat great as i expected it 2 be. Its still gr8! I strongly recomend get dis fone wont get neting betta 4 the price. Good luck ppl.

  • Can you play mp3 and can you put jpeg and gif images on the phone?

  • please tell me general features about the fone if menu icons ca be changed an the dimesions an if is really had metal insertion thx

  • Useless Sony, I don't know what u mean with your comment since quite none of it is true, the camera as refered in other comments it�s not brilliant, but the phone is simply the best , and works excellent, I advise u to post where you doubts, ready the manual or ok go 4 nokia, since by the way u write was your previous phone brand! If u need help i'll be please to help u...

  • bought the fone today,the worst fone i have eva used. volume is not loud enuf and the message mp3 tone only lasts for 5sec. DO NOT BUY THIS FONE

  • i just bouth that phone and it`s super.... I love him! Perfect music, nice pics , videos...long battery, nice price.. a good decision

  • damn good phone everything works not too much branded and packed with features at a great price!good looking too!NOT SO GOOD CAMERA BUT DOES THE JOB!best buy you won't regret it.

  • hey angrybloke, after u've converted the files just copy and paste it on ur memory card window not use disc2phone cuz its for music u dumdshiet LOL

  • @CL i have v630i, it could be a better fone w/o the vodafone software..its a vodafone exclusive, voda is a crap.. but v630i has RSS feed that enables you to browse the net faster than k610i. k610 dont have RSS feed,thats the advantage. on the other, k610i is a unlock fone, so w/o vodafone, its settings is much better... the rest of the features is the same. goodluck!!!

  • How many days does the battery holds? Does it hold at least 6 days?

  • onetouch-thanks-that new software works a treat. i suggest to everyone that you bin the sony crap software and download the other one

  • Ok then let me rephrase things-The phone is ok but the software that comes with it is a load of turd. I have asked for help a few times with only suggestions but never the answer!!!!! Phone was advertised to me as having an FM radio-no it hasnt you have to pay to download some crap playlists.Why only one working speakers on back when again i was told it had stereo sound?Camera is crap so is video camera. Only good things are compact size,long battery life and loud tunes even if only one speaker works.Definately could have been a better phone

  • Cool down men: Use Phone Explorer and everything runs smooth: No offence but u are just misleading other users since this phone is simply excelent for the people that use it properly and when have doubts came here for help not just to scream like there's no tomorrow... V630i simply roks even with vodafone menus LOL

  • well i am very very pissed off now and have had enough of this crap.Found a 3gp converter program and converted my music videos.Tried using disc2phone but now the files do not appear at all in any lists? What program do i use????????????????????? This phone is getting very very close to being thrown against the wall as i have now HAD ENOUGH

  • google for a free 3gp converter and download it

  • blinkguy-thanks for the info but how do i convert my files? thanks

  • hey 'angry bloke', my k618i have like 5 music vids in it and it plays them perfectly smooth..1st u gotta convert the vids to 3gp or mp4 format then just drag and drop it in ur mobile phone window its that simple..

  • I have been using it for a week now and so far I am very pleased with it. My only complaint results from the small keys, which are very close to one another and sometimes I mistakenly hit the wrong key. But I can live with that. My operator - Mtel (BG) - is offering it with a 256MB card.

  • this phone looks to be fabulous after the comments from this site....please rell me some general info about the case and what`s including the package thanks

  • That phone is really gr8. i bought it from Vodafone UK, and i have also use the vodafone live menu in other countries that i have visited that have a vodafone network like in cyprus (with Cytamobile Vodafone network), the sound is very clear as well as the captured pictures look awsome. The battery does not run out easily and it is the gratest phone ever with 3G coverage, in a very reasonable price. I will reccomend it to all.

  • Hello, Got this phone a month ago... i LOVE every bit of it! .... Vodafone Romania includede the 256MB CARD..and gave me mini-speakers.. u stick them in the phone.. good for travelling with friends by train and put some Music in the hole compartment.. (headphones were also included. I like the menu, its fast, worked with my PC the first time, shitty vodafone features built in the menu, but you can change the theme at least. :P , The camera needs much light to make good pictures. Grate for walkman.. with side-button for volume and play/pause. And I can use it as a remote for my PC thru bluetooth... thats very cool... dont need a wireless mouse:P.. well.. ..one moth passed since i got it and i still play around with it all day:P. VERY NICE PHONE!

  • This phone is the BIGGEST PILE OF CRAP i have ever had.I have had it now for 2 months and there is no way in hell i can download music videos from my PC onto the crappy phone.I can download photos,mp3 music but not bloody music videos.That was the main reason i bought this pile of crap and am NOT HAPPY AT ALL

  • i have one that come with 256 mb in spain

  • About the battery. If you don't play games, don't listen to music, and only make a few calls, it can hang for 4/5 days. It's a very good battery.

  • I like very much my V630i. It works perfect, no issues, no crashes, no slowdowns (only if you start a java application right after turning you mobile on). It doesn not have a joystick, it has a D-pad. I must admit that at the beginning it felt different from other d-pads, dont know why, but i couldn't play a racing game using the d-pad, but then i practice a lot and now i have no prblems with it. Here, in Portugal, Vodafone (wich is a telecommunications company) offers a 256MB memory card, SE earphones and USB cable. I have already made some videocalls and it works (for my surprise) PERFECTLY! I tought it would have some breaks, and the sound wouldn's syncronise with the image, but I WAS WRONG. It works VERY GOOD. It also has a great processing speed. I have many 2D and 3D java games intalled and this mobile reveals great images without any problems in any game. About the camera... nothing to say...its 2Mpixels, i like it, great photos with great depht (i doesn't have AutoFocus, but I dont really need that). Ask if you wanna know anything more about V630i...

  • Myabe Portuguese are lucky since this phone from Vodafone Portugal comes with 256mb ms, usb cable and earbuds. I charge my phone once a week, When things get really really busy every 3/4days; This phone DOESN�T have a joystick it as a D-pad like other phone such as motorola V3 but better so for those who don't like joysticks it is a great option, for those like me u love it it sn�t better either. For gadegts simply the best, u can control powerpoint presentations and computer via bluetooth, great gsm/3d reception,excelent software and applications for fun and business (you have 2 find it,there a site soggestion on one of my posts...) Oh I almost forgot, sound simply the best ;) Any doubts...keep them coming I will answer them with please since I simply love my new phone ;)

  • without the 256 MB card, the music and movie features of this phone become totally useless

  • I guess Vodafone doesnt give the 256MB Memory Card....

  • Chris you get about 350 hours of standy and 70 hours of use.

  • Vodafone its just a telecommunications company..like Verizon. And about my phone its so cool...i love the fact that i can hear music..and the video call..Its a really cool phone

  • Guys, I m more of a practical guy and I wanna know from the people that use it for a while how many days can this phone be in stand by(when u use it for talking), is the network reception good and if the joystick is easy 2 use(older SE issue-I had 2 modells before). How much memory has the card provided by vodafone with the phone? Believe me, after a while u get bored with the gadgets and most of the time u look 4 a PHONE. I m currently using an old nokia 6630 and I have to charge it every 2 days(if I dont speak 2 much). It s like having a ferrari with a 40 liters tank :) - u stop in every gas station

  • hey, you know when you try and delete something off your phone it says 'cannot be deleted, file protected' is there anyway of deleting still?

  • why they call vodaphone? what is this? can you explain it to me please

  • what does the flash aplication do?....i want to know your opinion on whether to buy a nokia 6680 or this phone being that i can get them for the same price of 130 euro

  • I've had the v630 for like a week and it is awesome how can anyone say otherwise? for any of you who say "why does only one of the 3 speakers work?" well its designed like that ... is it not loud enough already. 10/10 pure class.. but could b better with a flash i'll admit

  • Had the v630i for 2 months & it is without doubt the best phone I've ever had!! All the features on mine worked straight away including all the PC downloads! EASY!

  • hey OneTouch thanks for the site..the themes there are rad and pretty sick! i love the music section..got alot of bands up there

  • First of all sorry blink guy my other post was an answer for u, not for nuno :! And one more tips, I don't know if u guys know this site, but it's full of themes and other stuff for the v630i the games are not good but the themes amazing:

  • Hi Nuno,(sound Portuguese by the way), for games, and all kind of stuff I use the SE Portuguese Forum: Valid for those u understand Portuguese, the community is very united in solving all the problems of the users and there's a lot of god material there. For the other users, about the speakers, I'm not lying if I tell that the speakers have a sound volume very similar of an entry, mid lever laptop speakers,higher volume than motorolas and N series nokias, the only thing that I don't like so much about the phone are the vodafone menus, for those u like SE menus I would advise u to buy K618 instead. The camera besides being 2MP is not that impressive since I'd expect a lot better from sony, but it works very well. For those willing to buy it, I advise after Se experience u will never want a nokia again ;)

  • Hi! I'm interested in typs form my Sony V630i. What do you know ?

  • Hi David, I also have a V630 from Vodafone Portugal, and like it's brother K610 it only has one speaker, the other two are just part of the design :) but it blasts a hell of a noise...all my friends are amazed the this phone, I alredy played Fifa 2007 and need for speed simply fantastic, for those u want to manage the phone via Pc I recommend MyPhoneExplorer with it u can send java games,type sms etc...

  • Hi there, I'm from South Africa. I bought this fone about a month and 1/2 ago. The perfomance is good. The price is good. I even use it to remote control my PC almost everyday and its awesome. I tryed video call many times and I don't have any complains. The fone is awesome before you can even think of upgrading the software. Pro

  • i want to now is it worth buying this phone because i have hered lots of ups and downs about it and werez the cheapest shop you can buy it from. $ THANX $

  • this is a very good phone...i bought it a month ago i'm stiil 'in love' in him...belive me...he makes cool photos and you can listen music very well...10 for this phone !

  • "wake up man"i have the same problem-phone is ok for mp3s or photographs but when using the supplied cable and software the PHONE IS NOT RECOGNISED when trying to dowload video files.easy enough to say wake up man or other things but nobody has given a demonstration step by step of how to do it??????????????????????

  • i'm v proud about this phone ....cuz it works v well even with the 256mb card slot full.the camera is good but the flash is missing(a disavantage)i heard some people that they don't know how to put some stuff on it !!!hello wake up man you can use the original soft or you can open my computer with the date cable in the phone and you'll see "removable disk " or"phone card " and you simply put the stuff with copy and paste

  • hey jo u can put mp3s on the fon using the data cable which sud b provided wit the fon i use a k750 n i got a data usb cable wit the fon. once u plug in the fon to ur pc and install all the fon drivers you can see the files present on the data card all u need to do is a make a folder and paste ur mp3s in that folder. simple as that. or else remove the mem card from the fon and put it in any card reader.

  • this looks a very nice phone, and the price is cheap i'm just wondering if its worth buying?

  • take k618i, and take care of it properly to avoid problems

  • Hi.I'm from BG and after a month since i bought this phone it's speaker got malfunction.It rings onlly if it wants.I have to push the panel to make it work.Seccond BUG is with 3G.In BG 3G network is still with low quality.My phone searches the 3G network very offen and when someone calls me he receive - Network busy.

  • This phone looks to plastic and its not so good that its not a walkman phone.Its a horrible phone and the white ones worse as it can scratch so easy and both the black and white versions freeze all the time.They last about 2 months before problems start.

  • Can someone give me an exact explanation to put MP3 on this tel.?

  • to the pal who said you cant find this so you bought k618 because it looks like k618. your right, k618 is the asian version of v630, and v630 is the europe version made only for vodafone and used only in europe networks. its a very nice phone,and im glad to have one.

  • To mRuB from Bulgaria,yes the battery life is good but i have tried everything with the software and IT WILL NOT even recognize the phone when trying to download any sort of videos and NO i am not trying DVDS.MP3s or photos work no problem but NO WAY can i get videos on the phone.What format must they be?

  • I have this phone for 4and1/2 months now. It still is a very good phone. I am looking on the market for what I could replace it with and can't really find a replacement... No echoes, no freezing... no nothing. Only the "joystick" (the round key with keys) needs to be pushed a little harder for the left and right directions. That's all ! No other problems. For 220USD it's a damn good phone. Name a better one in these budget!!

  • Iv ben contimplating getting this phone instead of the LG KG800 because i cant get any network settings for the chocolate (im from Ireland) How do you think it compares performance and sizewise??

  • Hi there I'm from BG too.I think about buying this phone nesxt week hope to catch a price-drop. I have browsed all the forums in the world and everywhere I see both people satisfied with the phone and people with problems. I mean evryone who likes this phone knows its funktions and has the right expactations. 1. camera is not the best - that's correct, can't expect more for this all in one phone. 2. battery life is just amazing , just see no point in your battery issues topic, 100% you haven't chardged the right way for the first and second and 3rd time!! 3. video and else is easily brought to the phone with the soft provided. what causes your trouble is not knowing how to operate the program and maybe some of you are copying DVD to their phone - NOT ALLOWED :) yet. 4. you can't say it's a bad phone. ypu can only if you compare it to the best, what here in gsmarena evryone does. SO I kindly request GSMARENA to make a phone review so we can discover the phone's + and - from another point of view. BYE

  • This phone has battery issues.

  • Hello i am from Bulgaria and always watch this forum. I have this telephone. but want to ask how can i change the Software with this like K618 ???If someone know .. write here :) .

  • i dont know why u guyz complain so mutch for this phone..maybe u should try producing one if this doesnt answer your needs...my opinion is that this is the best phone for it's price...doesnt do less or more than what it's worth...if there were autofocus and flash and radio and mpeg4 and all of those complains met...than the phone would cost arround nokia n70....so if u want it,buy it cuz with that amount of money,u cant get anything better

  • know of any free downloadable progs that will do the job? thanks

  • to those who want to put VIDEOS in this phone do this : 1. download a video coverter tt can convert videos to 3gp or mp4 files in ur pc. 2. drag those converted videos to ur mem card 3. enjoy high quality vids in ur phone.. thats all..

  • i agree-camera and video features are TERRIBLE and i also cannot download video or mp4 from my pc with the software provided.I see a few people suffer the same problem-DOES ANYBODY HAVE THE ANSWER???

  • I bought this phone last week and trust me when I say that I`m very satisfacted and happy because I have`it. Is really great and the camera make some pics really great!!!.So if you don`t know what to do,beleived me when I say ... It`s worth every penny!

  • how can you get video from pc to your phone? my software will not do it-mp3 and digital pics no problem but video wont work

  • yey! miiiiiiiiiiiine in 2 days

  • Went to see the Charlatans in concert last night and used both the camera and video functions for the 1st time-what a load of crap and a waste of time.

  • tis phone i like very much but when u compare the sony k810 it is not good can u tell me the price

  • have a question... How to connect the GPRS or the sony Ericsson phones cause i dont know pls tell me pls

  • tis phone look like very nice ............ but i can't find it ............d shop say muz import it ...... it looks like k618i .........i think not different between then ......so i buy k618i.........

  • This phone looks really good, i gettin it for xmas, can u tell me if it has radio?

  • i got this phone for a few months now, and wat i like about this phone is it has logical menu's, only the keylock doesn't work al the time furthrt it's perfectly alright, and great to use

  • hhhmm i have looked at the sony ericsson W810i and V630i and am deciding which gives better value for money anyone care to tell me their opinion

  • should i get this fone 4 christmas because i really like it

  • should i get this fone for xmas

  • well i bought it today and i am impressed how loud it is

  • mine work zooming in sequential mode, as far as 2.5x, but in other cases it doesn't, like at 1mp or in normal picture quality

  • yes it will detect it to download music and some pics but WILL NOT even detect it when i try to download any videos with the various crap software provided

  • The phone has airplane mode, you can use the player and camera without phone mode. It only has one speaker in the back, and if you connect it to the pc via the cable included in the bundle, the pc will detect it as a mass storage device (if you select "transfer mode" on the phone once connected).

  • yes. if you put in lower resolution it can zoom. Or if you put in Sequetial mode, it zooms too. In normal photo, with higher resolutions you can't zoom.

  • No, this is not an walkman mobile. But it has very similar software to other walkman mobiles. The only difference is that you can't just listen the songs with the phone turned off. You must turn on the phone, and then listen the songs...that's it is not an walkman phone.

  • it will only zoom in VGA mode

  • hi guys, just wondering if someone can please tell me why my camera wont zoom? it'll work in video but not camera, thanks heaps!

  • i was just wondering if this phone was a walkman phone. if so does it have the walkman mode for on planes and does it have the walkman mode for just to listen to the songs on the phone?

  • how do i dowload videos from my pc to the phone-the software that came with the phone will not work

  • this phone is great it's got handsfree, M2 card 256mb , data cable, and a marvelous software that includes multitasking.

  • I was wondering if this phone had flash. it looks really nice but is it basically the same as the k618.Is it any good?????? THX

  • not as loud as i would have liked. other question about speakers on back-only 1 of mine works

  • what bluetooth version has this phone got. Is it version 2?

  • when you play music out of the phones speaker how load does it go, and how good is the quality?

  • i want to ask if i should buy this phone : and is it have many mistakes

  • Hello! I have a Sony V630. On the back, the phone have 3 little round orange places for speakers. When I play music the sound is heard only from one speaker. Is my phone defective, or it is so with all V630? You can test this by putting your finger on each of the speakers to see if the sound is comming from that speaker or not. Does your phone �sing� with all the 3 speakers or with only one? Thank you.

  • For all of u with a buggy v630, you need to make sure it has the latest voda/sony drivers otherwise its just a piece of plastic, i've had mine for a while now and i've got no probs and i get to see all the buggy v630's cos i work at vodafone! If you are after a flash there is an attachment available to buy, get one! If anyone has seen their pics on the tv they are awesome! (Hook up through xbox 360 and make sure fotos are in camera album) What would have been could is auto focus but they had to save money.

  • I retract that last statement. The software did work eventually but you will need patience!

  • usb seems to work fine for me, ad no problems with it at all

  • Usb works fine with mine for music mp3 files but will not allow my to download/transfer pics of videos and that sucks big time. Other than that compared to the Mptorola V525 i had this new one is a million times better

  • Don't buy this phone if you want to use it with your PC at all either by USB or Bluetooth. The software does not work.

  • cannot seem to trace the numbers of any missed calls,please help :)

  • www.esato.com

  • Henco,read the specifications under the pic of the phone

  • Do you know if the sony v630i have an memory slot.

  • Nice phone but cannot download pics or videos with the software provided-it doesnt recognise the phone.Ok when downloading music

  • hello, can anyone recomend a god site from were i can download some themes and screensavers for my SE v630i..? tnx

  • The phone is nice, works fine, the menu is friendly, but the talktime is under 2 hours (although formatted properly), compared to 7 h, as advertised, so I have to charge it every day. I live in a metropolitan area and use 2G on Vodafone so there's no question that the battery could be "working" too hard. I am kind of disappointed, because I need to talk a lot and I spend a lot of time in the car so that the advertised battery lifetime would have definitely come in handy. My wife has a W800 and the talktime is under 2.5 h as against the advertised 7 h. SE really has an issue here, or telephones sold in Romania may not be top of the line :(

  • Does it play full screen videos?

  • thanks a lot mr./ms. silveraroow.more power and god bless. take care:-)

  • unlike the so cold "SE K618" does it have a flash?

  • 1- Yes it plays Mpeg4 files. 2- The arent many diferences, the V630 don't have EDGE. but has 2 buttons to accept or reject call's. (green phone/red phone). 3- I perferd de K618i, it looks the same as the V630i, but is SIM Free.

  • Guys,I need your help.please answer these questions of mine: 1.Can SE V630 be able to play mpeg4 formats??? 2.What exactly are the difference of this fone to SE K610 and SE K618??? 3.Which among these three phones:SE K610, SE K618 and SE V630 is the best???for what reasons??? Please be kind enough to answer all my questions.thanks. god bless and more power.

  • My recomendation after taking back 3 of these phones back within the space of 10days is dont get one

  • you can install mini opera app, and then with the file explorer, it�s possible to delete any kind of file trought de root file

  • check out mininova for free mobile games ;)

  • Great phone, but is there a way to delete the demo games, i find them quite annoying.

  • is there anyway i can delete the demo games? they are annoying me, thanks

  • Easy echo fix = turn the speaker volume down during the call, even just one notch, and it won't echo.

  • it a ok

  • Hello I like this phone is very nice, and cheap. I have one question: When you take a photo with the mobile, make any sound of shutter and if it can dissable with the phone in silent or in settings of the camera?? More thanks. Bye

  • hi..i have one too.. since 12 august 2006.. it's a pretty good phone.. but i started to have software issues i dunno what to do..i think i'm going to go to warranty and change it.but..essentially..i like it and it's a good phone.. or, i will try to sell it when i wil have money and buy a k800 i:D that's a cool phone dude..

  • this is a very bad phone just sent my forth one back and got a W810i.the v630i looks a very nice phone but after a week or so the problems start you get echo it's speedial fail's and it locks out. trust me dont buy this phone

  • Hi! I just bought this phone and, so for, it didn't give trouble at all. It's small, easy to understand and it came with all tha acessories (phone, USB cable and 256MB micro stick memory card - wich is GREAT ;) -). The only problem for V630 is that the camera doesn't came with flash so the fotos in the night are bad

  • I have had the same echo problems, I phoned vodafone they said they have loads sent back for the same reason and changed it without any problem.

  • wats da diferent btw dis fon n SE k618

  • I got this phone as a upgrade in august 2006, as yet i have had no problems with it at all, apart from echoing when a call is made, but as was said earlier if you turn the 3G off it solves the problem. i'd rate this phone as very good. the only draw back is the quality of the camera although 2megapixels it is not as good as my old phone which was only 1.3. that said overall a good phone

  • Hello! Can anyone help me? This phone is recording in 3gp format (176*144 pixels-video normally :D). can anyone help me to make it record at higher resolution. eventually at other video format. THANK YOU!

  • To start of this phone was great, good memory and very good to use. But it was after a few weeks i started to have problems with this phone. It kept on freezing and i couldnt get the phone to work proberly.I jus cant get it to work properly and have regretting spendin my phone on this piece of s***

  • @ss K750i has higher quality camera than this in V630 because it has not only flash but also autofocus and macromode.

  • Hello people. How take this phone pictures in low light? I have to choose between k750 and v630, but k750 has blitz(good one). Please answer.([email protected] --Romania)

  • can anyone please tell me if you succeded in playing aac files on this phone?i`ve tried and they won`t start...please help!!!

  • i want to buy this phone, can somebody tell me if i can change themes in this phone, i'm so bored with the vodafone live theme..

  • Neeeeed heeeelp!!! How do i remove the back cover of the v630? not the battery cover, the one that is over the camera????

  • i have V630i and i really liked it. Before this phone i was using Nokia 6680 it was so huge and slow. I dont know why but even my memory was empty it was sooooo slow. the only problem how can i get an INSTANT MESSENGER? for yahoo and msn..

  • I`m a new v630i user.i just bought it ..two hours ago:) cand you please tell me if you know any other codes?thank you

  • Hey all, the echo went away when I turned off then turned the phone back on. Hope that helps others.

  • hey i just got this fne..it is a wicked fne!!!the features n evryfng is al gud. rly it is a must buy!!

  • Hi guys. I have this phone for 1 month, and i must say that it is awesome. Well built, very nice keypad (to play it is good too), the same screen as k750 (a little better colors, and a little bigger screen too). Video call works well, good image. I have NO PROBLEMS with this mobile phone....all is working like it must work. Good memory too; it comes with an 256 MB memory card, and 15 mb internal memory...i have lots of mp3, and almost 50 games in my memory card. Very funny mobile, you will have no regrets.

  • I have mine for a week now. And i'm very happy with it. Til now i havent any type of problem. It work's fine and its a great phone. All phones have problems this one its not an exception.

  • i had 2 of these the first the speaker broke for no reason and that was after a day of owning it. for featuers its brill but if any of you gets one----- sell it quick

  • Hey, I had 3 of these phones.. I loved it so much I kept taking it back thinking I was just unlucky. After 3 DOA phones I requested Vodafone to terminate my upgrade and give me my money back. Vodafone are always fantastic for stuff like that, so they did.. They also gave me a 6 month Ralph Magazine Subsciption! My recommendation after my experience is not tto get this phone.

  • hallo all, i have this phone for 2 months now.It works fine no problems.The only thing is that the speaker is at the back side of the phone so when it rings you can hear it very good unless if you put it upside down....SE mistake i think....

  • Don't bother getting one i have had 2 faulty one's then vodafone sent me a third a referb in poor condition. had to make about 20 calls to voda to sort it out. dont get one of these phones in fact dont use vodaphone.

  • Hi I just bought this phone. When people call me it echos at their phone. So much so that it is driving everyone nuts. I turned off 3G and I turned off USB charging. Any ideas? Or should I just return it? Thanks.

  • Hello! I turned off USB charger using the secret codes as described below. Thank you. Do you know any other secret codes? I still search a way for erasing the demo games with uses memory for nothing...

  • wow thanks a lot SilverArrow and pinkpanther, now it really worked turning usb charging off, thanks :D i for one don't have a problem with the echo, and i din't made any settings for this Salex has a good question, can these demos be erased? they can be a little ennoing

  • The Echo problem its freaking me off. I was convinced to buy this phone, but now i'm not sure! How many cases are? Does the warranty cover the echo problem? Thx

  • Hello! I am very pleased with this phone. A little problem: I want to erase the games demos but they are protected. Can anyone tell me how to erase the games demos? Thank you, Alex

  • zanpo: You're absolutely right about usb charging. I got confused it actually can be disabled from the service menu, like someone described below. Directly after pressing > * < < * < * choose the "Service settings" option, and there's a setting that sais "chargin on" or "charging off". That's the one. Sorry about the confusion.

  • In the box? The phone, the charger, the usb cable, a stereo hear phones and a 256Mb Micro Memory Stick.

  • To turn "usb charger" off. Just go to the secret menu: �*��*�* (� means joystick movment to that side)! Good Luck

  • what`s in the box?

  • This is a responce to a email below. Yes I have tried turning off 3G network as noted in another Post. The phone still echo's. (Not all the time just some times) When this happens the person at the other end of the phone basicly cant hear themselves. Now unfortunatly as you state, "dont buy it" I obviously already have, so after 3 DOA phones in 1 week I am more than entitled to complain. As mentioned I love the phone, but the Echo problem is not the only problem ive had with my 3 phones.

  • pinkpanther: thank you for explaining this to me, i've tried to do what you said but at the usb connection it sais phone mode and file transfer, nothing about turning off the usb charging, could you explain how to do it in more detail?at the usb connection mode what should i do next?

  • zanpo: You can turn usb charging off, of course - menu > settings > connectivity > USB > USB connection (must have the cable connected when you do this) The manual sais it is recommended to fully charge the battery before the first use, yes.

  • hy, i just got this phone and i really like it, just one problem, anyone knows if i can stop it charging when i connect the usb cable? i'm afraid this might shorten the battery life.and does the battery need to be formatted for 12 hours to reach its maximum efficiency?

  • I got this model couple of days ago. For not-yet-owners: - internal memory is 16 MB, not 10; - battery is 900 mAh Li-polymer, not Li-ion; - comes with 256 MB Memory Stick Micro (M2); - camera actually sucks, visible artifacts probably dued to an exagerated noise removal internal processing; - I have had problems with joystick, precisely left and right buttons, so badly calibrated didn't even work at times, so I had to unscrew the darned thing and re-calibrate joystick buttons manually (kinda' do-it-yourself but that's me, can't help it); - comes with USB data cable, great interface, phone can be set to charge from USB port, etc. ; - has a pretty good processor, very fast image processing (menu animation included); - very neat Vodafone live demo; - I love the 2 dedicated call buttons (answer/reject) I've really missed them since T68i I guess; very practical, don't have to stare at the screen when you get a call to see which softkey means "answer"; - slower address book scrolling speed, my former S700 did better even without a processor as fast as this one's; My guess is there's a bad programmer out there ;)) - not so intuitive dedicated play/stop button on left side, they could at least have added a playlist overview when pressing it; - volume buttons (right side) finally do adjust volume from anywhere you are (menu, games, video etc.), that's great; - very neat overall design, the diagonal stripes on the cover are pretty kewl, and back cover finally opens without you having to do some workout first; - pretty good standby, so far. I'll get back for any other issues.

  • that is my opinion on why people keep complaining on this mobile. Cheers!!

  • We know that this is still a phone. However, SE already have phones with better music player and radio FM in W800 or W810i, SE also have better imaging camera with flash, 3.2 MP etc in K800. So my point is why SE don't put all of those best features in this mobile? Therefore, we don't have to buy a digital camera or an mp3 player. We can use this features all together in one mobile phone. Sounds great??

  • Oh...and by the way...have any of you tryed to turn the 3G off?...You'll see the echo dissapears.It's not the phone....it's the signal quality that afects the sound quality.

  • I really dont get you guys....I got this phone a couple of days ago and it's one of the best phones I could find on the market.Awsome features works great on 3g...and still Vodafone is one of the best gsm providers outhere...No echo...no problems ,no nothing.For the guys who complain it doesnt have a flash and a 3,2 MP camera...well...why dont you try to get your self a nice digital camera...I think some of you forget that this is still a phone.Want the highest quality mp3 sound...buy your self and IPod...want flash and best quality photos..buy yourselfs a digital camera.As a phone...this is one of the best.And by the way...display is great ...256K color themes are awsome ,mp3 player is great and the phone call quality is cristal clear.Unless you're livin in the mountains or a cave...this is the phone for you.And for those who dont like black and orange...buy yourself a pink V3...maybe you'll be satisfied then.Don't like the phone ...dont buy it.Stop complaining

  • Hi All, its my daily message, I have just gone through my 3rd DOA (dead on arrival) phone since 5 days ago. Current problem is echoing (again) and the in-abillity to call the phone (or me dial out) even when I have full reception. I'm not getting another one, I love the phone, the looks and the use-ability. I just am not confident that my phone will last.

  • Can someone help me plz. everytime i put this phone on a loud profile and put it in my pocket it switches itself off. is there a problem with it or is it some sort of stupid feature??

  • It's supposed to be V630i but anyways I love this phone to bits I was ledge able for a phone upgrade on my contract. So I upgraded from the (sounded great at the time) Sharp GX30i. I thought it would be hard to get used to switching to the Sony Ericsson style from Sharp but it wasn't. The camera is excellent and video recording it fantastic day or night. The only downfall is you have to purchase an add-on flash the MXE-60. I have yet to buy it but I'm hoping it will make night pictures look like a real camera as it says. MP3 player is also 1 of the great features sounds like a mini disk walkman I used to own but not as loud. Also MP3's can be used as ring tones I've cut mine up to the best bits of my favourite tracks so it sounds better. Bluetooth is great send and receive MP3's not unlike the GX30i which could only receive files below 400kb. Games are cool supports true 3D games like Ridge Racer the onboard memory for mine is 20mb. But the phone comes with additional 256mb Sony Mini Memory stick (M2) Sony's so called new format. The memory card can be upgraded to 512mb or 1GB which prices range up to �45 which I think is ok if you can afford it. Finally battery life is excellent I think I've switched my 3G off to make it last longer. The only thing 3G is needed is for video calls but I don't make many of them.

  • Regards the below message I have done this and my phone still echoes.... I have only had the phone 3 days and I am on my 3rd phone, 3 different DOA problems.......... >>>>The reason why it echoes is because its a 3G phone and the signal is not that great at the moment. You can stop the echoing by switching the band to GSM only. Press Menu > Scroll Left/Right to "Connectivity" > Scroll to "Mobile Networks" > Press Select > Scroll to "GSM/3G Networks" > Press Select > Scroll To "GSM Only" > Press Select.

  • Any one had problems with the key pad left and right buttons wearing out? I have had the phone 12hrs and already the (right) key is not working properly... (DOA for this one, I just want to make sure I dont have another DUD like my usless K750i with its Uselss Joystick) Any advise appricated. Cheers

  • mivo.yes in can sync with outlook but you need to install sony ericsson pc suite and that its quite buggy, so i recommend doing a backup of your outlook profile

  • I've sent back 2 of these as well for echoing the callers voice back to them, works fine my end and I like the phone, but as i'm about to send back the third for the same fault, I 'm considering a different phone.

  • Does it have an adaptor for that Micro card???? pls tell me. cause i have it at work but didnt saw any adaptor in the box

  • good phone but i am now on my 3rd as i have returned 2 for echoing when in a call has any one else experianced this or am i just unlucky to get 2 phones with the same fault ?

  • Can anyone tell me if SE phones can be sync'd with outlook? Cheers Wivo

  • phone works very well, but can some1 tell me wat the max memory card the phone supports

  • Bought the phone 4 days ago. I also bought a MXE-60 flash (true xenon flash / plug-in). The radio is the only thing they missed to put in. In the rest there is no downside except the phone is not clam-shell form like. I will keep it at least one year. Personal opinions on flash/camera/music/size/menus at my email address : [email protected]

  • no radio (sony ericsson mistake) and no flash.

  • No the phone doesnt come with a flash but you can purchase one to go on the phone.

  • does the phone have a flash?

  • It says in the quick start guide (v630i)last page to access radio go to menu select radio and search, on my phone there is no radio in menu, does this have an fm radio or not?

  • Please soneone tell me when the phone is off can you still listen to mp3 like the w800 or not?

  • Just announced k618 which is v630 non Vodafone version

  • This phone in Australia DOES NOT have a radio.

  • yes, no light sucks. when out of the icon menu the words/numbers look a bit enlarged and pixelated - would be nice to see a SE screen higher than 256k colours. i heard vodafone won't stock the w850 til november at earliest.

  • this is quite possibly the best phone i have eva used.. nice and light weigth great camera.. highly recommend,

  • I got the phone the other day. It is brillant, realy can't fault it for value of money. Flash? as if u would really use that anyway. Mp3 playa is awesome

  • I obtained this phone when I opened a contract with vodafone sold on the premise that is an upgraded version of the w810i which they have discontinued. I received the phone, it feels cheap, the camera has no flash and the pics aren't great, the sound is excellent through the speakers and would expect that from an MP3 player. It lacks features and would expect it to be a cheap budget phone. I've paid to exchange it with the K800i - Hope I've made the right decision. The new phones out from other networks aren't particularly nice. The new W800 does look like its a nice phone, wish it was out sooner :(

  • To: Vodafone AU - Will the W850 be released soon as the W850 and V630 were announced at the same time.

  • It is a wicked fone but its a shame they dont make the k750i ne more! x

  • oh no do i get it or not so many differing comments

  • this phone supports the stereo bluetooth headset HBH-DS970 so you can enjoy mp3 music via wireless bluetooth headset. w800 / w810 does NOT support any kind of stereo bluetooth headset.

  • Really light weight handset however feels very flimsy, impressive built in themes however vodafone software kinda ruins it. Unless you are a huge user of 3G, it would probably be smarter to get the W810 or if you are a bit short of cash try a W800 (be weary of the joystick on the w800 though)

  • Im about to play with one of these now, looks pretty good from specs, i hate the vodafone software though. I have a 6280 and ive had to send it to nokia 3 times now *its still with them now* Hopefully SE can provide a better handset.

  • I work at Vodafone AU, and i will tell you now DONT get this phone. The vodafone live software ruins the entire handset. Cought up a little bit more and get a w800i/10i. Unless you are a huge 3G user its pointless to get the v630

  • It's supposed to immitate the walkman series, hence the black and orange. Sony Ericsson haven't released a another unique series that's warranted a new colour. Although it's only available at Vodafone, it's relatively cheap and free to unlock

  • i like these phone, sadly its only available at vodafone T_T i wish they ca release it for everybody

  • SE is cool, but the color.... I just don't get why all phones have to be black nowadays! Especially black & orange seems to be the only thing SE can produce. Black & Orange are matching colors, but make it a bit more fun, not so flat. Color does matter, and SE hasn't got a very "artistic" touch with their mobiles. Let's not even talk about the plastic they use... Harlekkin

  • i dont even know i have it its a very sexy phone but feels like a toy

  • wow, so light and yet so powerful!!!

  • God, this phone is lovely, could any one out there be nice enough to send me this phone! it's just so gorgeous, i just can't stop imagining my self having it at my disposal.

  • its well nice wen is it out how much on pay as u go tell me plzzzzz can send files 2 ova phones using bluetooth

  • One of the most beutiful phones in the market, the details, the finishing from the back and the sides is perfect!!! I hope its not amputated like the rest of the vodafone menu handsets (no free transfer of java aplications/games and pics via bluetooth)

  • can u listen to music on this like u can on the walkman ones

  • i like it it's not as same as once was

  • it is good..i like it..it look perfect but i dont like the keypad because not look old..so,hope change it to make it look perfect..

  • un telefon cool

  • y r u guys worried about the flash when u can buy the mxe 60 flash accesory

  • Where iz Flash!!!!

  • It is Slim though . .

  • No Autofocus & Flash ????????????????

  • Bluetooth was qualified under Version 2.0 + EDR Link :

  • Damn... Vodafone always gets the best phones.

  • i think this phone looks good ive got the v600i

  • I'll be waiting this product, so go on...

  • nice phone good features

  • SE was the first one to introduce vodafone concept on its 3g v600. later on, nokia copied this concept on their devices such as their upcoming 3g vodaphone branded 6234

  • VODAFONE is the best operator in the world for those who don know

  • i dont know, what is vodafone. please tell anybody briefly...

  • well the phone is for vodaphone network users only expected to have lower price than k610, dreadnought if this phone is very mediocre(yes i agree), then people will buy k610 which has more features than this one, and edge? vodaphone has already 3G so why putting that excess feature, it only increases it's price,

  • just what i wanted:a black version of the k610 too bad it has no flash and i live in singapore:(

  • Quite nice looking considering it�s a SE. But why no Ir? No EDGE, no autofocus, maybe they are trying to boost K800 sales this way? Display is poor. 3G, good thing, but that�s about it. Very mediocre.

  • i will buy Sony Ericsson V630i

  • I think that those calling buttons are really GAY. I mean its breaking tradition

  • this phone is good, but with vodafone........

  • really nice cell.i like it but it is just for vodafone users oh no.nice features nice camra,64 chal,i think great sound asusally other SE cell.Very Very Sexy

  • Shame its coming out on the worst network available (not that its that great a phone anyway). If you like throwing your money away or like being robbed or like being laughed at by big sh*t phone bosses who KNOW they are ripping you off, then go right ahead and get this phone on sh*tty daylight robbery god-awful vodafone.

  • Good look! BUT 2MP camera without flash!?

  • Its the w810, jst not walkman

  • message to sony ericsson kidly please produce your sport 3g mobile like siemens and nokia with both bluetooth and infrared so do it kindly please ....

  • Digital Radio - Digital Audio Broadcast (DAB)

  • What does it mean "Digital radio"?

  • because its a k610 clone..

  • seems to be a great handset... but, it's camera is poor. why they do not put a 3.2MP?

  • I'm almost thinking there is no other kind of design for cell phones if sonyericsson continues this way it will loo it popularity nokia is doing great n93 is really good but what did sonyericsson for k800 no new idea is seen in

  • YEAH!!im gonna giv the first opinion abt the phone!!cool! ok now the phone is quite attractive and it seems to be very good in features too...features like radio DJ is jus fantastic!i think its gonna be liked by every1....anyways i love it!

  • rubbish memory is wack, camera aint got autofocus only improvment is answering call button nd putting fone down button but reast rubbish rather get w810i but like da radio dj nice

  • even the k750i is better no ir no 512mb rubbish menu system low internal memory also new type of memory msmicro not gud ripoff of w810i

  • Damm dis fone is da bomb, bigups 2 sonyericsson 4 dis one. Its got everytin man...

  • Just for Vodafone? Nice phone, ugly customisation of menu on Vodafone branded phones
