  • Gd phone.

  • yeah dude its really cool

  • I am using this phone from last 3 years. I am very happy by using it. Its cool in look and in features. Good value for money.

  • I have been using this phone for the past three years. it is a good phone. But it hangs a lot if you download apps like DU BAttery saver or battery doctor. My fav part of the phone is its music system. When I bought it, it came with the regular headphones and two small boom-boxes! The boom-boxes were magnetic and were attracted to each other. Please do not keep the boom-boxes attracted together as they spoil the speakers. My boom-boxes got spoilt within 5 months.the headphones are pretty good and produce as much sound as any Skullcandy headphones. The give you a really nice bass felling. The phone would have been better if the RAM memory was bigger and bigger internal memory. Otherwise it is a good phone for its price.

  • download go keyboard

  • Where exactly did you read this? I can't find any information regarding it. Also, I find it very improbable due to the specifications, and the device itself is now quite old (for smartphone standards). I tested a few ROMs on stock kernel and only Froyo works perfectly for this. GB is ok, but you need to have a custom kernel for it to work proper. ICS and Jelly Bean, in my opinion, could work only with

  • Good news!!! For all Sony Ericsson Xperia X8/W8 users who yet not rooted their beloved devices. Finally Sony Engineers heard the cries of their diehard fans and the Official Android JellyBean Update is coming to these devices on 2013 June... So rejoice and spread the good news among our Xperia friends :)

  • Same here! I just accidentally dropped this phone and now my lcd got broken.

  • i m not happy to use this phone because because its nt updatable to other latest anroid

  • high performance means W8. Tnx SE. DurAble unless you don't exercise proper care or if you want the reason to buy another unit of SE W8 that's better :) thumbs up!

  • best phone. super fast. Intelligent and affordable phone. I recommend this.

  • works super fine, until 2013 came.. my W8 is just 1 year n 2 months old. a simple fall back then broke my LCD n i had it replaced with quite some cash. now, i can't use the notification bar on top of the screen at all! the touch sensitivity decreases a hell lot that i barely can use the unlock patterns now. If u are looking 4 a long lasting phone, DO NOT BUY THIS.. p/s: it worked amazingly ONLY 4 a year..

  • Please i want to know how can i update my phone to 2.2 or 2.3p

  • Please i want to know how can i update my phone to 2.2 or 2.3

  • ..me too we do have same problem,battery is poor.

  • i will suggest you to download zedge from android market there u can find more than 1000 of wallpapers for ur fone....not only that u can find live wallpaper...ringtones n games too ;)

  • im using dis handset since last 2 years n havent faced any problem in it........no issues at all..........its awesome :D :D

  • It doesnt support all wallpapers >:(

  • very bad wagman series

  • This is a good phone. how can i update it to froyo or gingerbread

  • gonna miss this

  • its so good...

  • There are few problems with the mobile software. 1. There is no way to send the visiting Card by message mode 2. If one types first few digits of the mobile no. the names do not appear on the screen for selection. 3. There is no default File management utility available in the set of software tools installed. 4. In Music player, you cannot create a playlist of your select songs. This makes it difficult to choose the songs. 5. Camera button is too hard. While taking pictures, it mostly shakes the image. 6. When dialing a number, you get to see only the name of the contact group. If there are multiple phone Nos. in the contact, you cannot figure out which phone is dialled. Especially if the phone No. is dialed from history. 7. If you receive a call from unknown number *not in your contact list) and you want to send a message to this number, you need to compulsorily save the contact and then you are allowed to send a message. 8. While listening to the FM Radio, there is no option to change the channel without unlocking and changing it manually. 9. If you receive a call, you get option to receive the call by sliding the green button from left to right and same time to mute the volume of call, you can slide red button from right to left. This is confusing. There should be separate button or option to do these distinct activities. 10. You cannot group the contacts to give them a theme like caller tune etc. 11. The Star Contacts (fast dial) does not show the names of the contacts. It should have fast dial numbers like 0 to 9 etc.

  • what is the price now? in malaysia..

  • no regrets, great phone. everything has a limitation.

  • Best music phone with fast wifi connection for W8. Portability with great features with GPS support , capacitive touch screen, mediocre camera quality,and bluetooth. ***Other super hi-tech smartphone screen with 4.0+ inches are prone to theft and not safe to use in public places, therefore you can't respond right away for immediate calls and text.As a result , it will "reduce communication freedom". They are also priced almost the same with netbook/laptops. My suggestion for people who want an exceptional browsing experience and gaming, they can use laptop with higher processor and graphic capacity to enjoy a higher resolution and most of them are now light-weight.

  • I m using w8 from last one year ...really it iz fantastic ... its working vry nice...

  • very poor response. Its mother board is damage in my phone two times in gauranty period.

  • Can i know that any update available for w8 ?

  • obsolete device, only android 2.1(eclair) the only feature is walkman player. no official sony update but you can update it through the help of xdadevelopers.com. And W8 is not a powerful android phone so don't expect much on this, it's a low-end device. Check out the website of xda and find a way to enhance it, but for me i will change my unit.

  • SE doesn't support, upgrade to Android 2.3 by unoffical procedure only :)

If mount, your phone may be break down. 4. Click on root. Everything should go normally. 5. A new app - superuser found. 6. Disconnect your phone. 7. Switch off your phone. Wait for turn on. 8. Your phone has rooted. Before doing this, you are required to turn on USB Debugging. Try it. Good luck.

And for the w8 users who told that their phone hangs too much...i suggest them to overclock their w8...then your phones will be greater than 800mhz processor....and never hangs...

  • can we update our phone to OS higher than 2.1(eclair)?

To perform this operation, download astro file manager from market and open, press menu key>tools>application manager/backup. Mark the apps you want to back up and touch backup. Then your apps will back up in your memory card. Note:- My language is very bad. I'm unhappy for my language.
