  • I think you people that say this phone is bad really dont know how to use it ihad it for one year without any problem only reason for selling it was vga video that was for me not enough

  • i wantto viber software

  • had this phone for a year +++ and during that period of time the phone gave me lots of technical AND networking problems. it factory reset itself as well so it was my most painful experience with SE phones.. ever. the only reason why i got it in the first place was because i was running on a tight budget, and 'cos it's the design the attracted me. so i guess lesson learned - never ever buy a phone just based on its design alone.

  • I love my Yari I had it since 09 around when it comes out. And only sent it for repairs once which is now

  • I love my Yari I had it since 09 around when it comes out. And only sent it for repairs once which is now

  • I bought this phone 5months ago, during the time i sent it to repair 5times because of the reben! wtf!

  • I love my yari. It has been my phone for I think its between 2 and 3 years!

  • I have the phone, I also had to take it back to repairs 3 times. The first time being the bluetooth, second being the screen, and third being the screen again! So I'm saying goodbye to my Yari and am buying the Experia Arc tomorrow:)

  • I had this phone for a year,bought it brand new,after 6 months the bluetooth stopt working,nobody could flash the phone,after that my music player went ,stopt working,the phones software cant be updated aswell, completely a year in and the flexicable broke,and is currently @ the repair man for the past 2 months.sony ericson is lacking the passion they had in the w-series.

  • neva eve think of buying this phone.It has luckily worked fine for 8 months and after that had numerous issue with the phone display,keys sound Bluetooth,etc..... i wouldn't even suggest my enemy to buy this phone

  • Worst phone i ever had..i am huge fan of SE and have been using there phone from past 8 years ,but never had this type of experience. Yari(u100i) worked fine for first three months only then it had some ic related issue, my side keys stopped working. the customer service in mumbai for SE is shit!!! they say they don't have parts available in here and they send phone to chenai for repairing. wheni got my pone back from service center after long wait of 4 months it was in very bad condition , they didn't even extended my warranty of that for months . after five months i still got same problem..:( but as i mention earlier i m true fan of SE i am looking forward to buy Xperia RAy now. hope it better . DONT BUY YARI.

  • Try this link and you will find a lot of themes. I've used them and can't complain...cos i can edit the themes if i don't like them as they are.

  • worst phone ever.although it has 5 mp camera but pic and video is colorless.flush don't work properly,light flushed before shot.main prob is network.it has d worst internal antena which is under the battery.when other phone has full network,yari shows only 1 or 2 network bar.so i request you plz don't buy this phone.besides hang,slow are common prob of yari.

  • no photo dj no video dj. can't cut a picture from video. no equalizer. to keys above the screen opens games useless and ypu can't change them.

  • i had it for only rm400 (second hand)by the end of last year n still in a very good condition.like it..no prob at all.

  • I have used this device for more than one year. It's an average device from sony ericsson. It has issue with battery and camera quality is not at all good.

  • what is the name of themes of sony yari on the post!!???

  • Wonderful mobile

  • I just bought my Yari on the 15th of May 2011 and i am telling you it freezes, the screen goes black out of the blue when you are busy with it, you charge it in the morning for 3 hours, by 20H00 the same day the battery is 1/4 to die, it takes a lot i mean a lot of time to open documents. I AM SO SO SO DISAPPOINTED WITH THIS PHONE, to think that it has everything that you would want in a phone, i'm not impressed at all!!!!!!!!

  • does soni ericsson yari support mobile tv

  • Hi, i'm currently using this yari, with 8gb microsd high capacity that I get from my previous phone prebundled package inserted, its nokia 5730 express music by the way, but lately my phone keep deleting songs in my music player itself, from 705 files only 267 left, it happen a lot, i've tried to format the memory card but same things still happen, is it because I inserted a nokia memory card? Please need help

  • does this model support Mobile tv??

  • its really a very nice phone but not soo good looking at that high price

  • very nice

  • yes u r absolutly right ...

  • yes it has a flash and its auto flash that means it senses if teh flash is required or no and then clicks the snap

  • i just borrowed this phone for few hours and i felt that its waste to invest in this cell if u are a hard core msgholic guy like me. the keys dont work well for faster typing and camera is not of cyber shot quality and the processor is very slow over all the cell is nice but features are not that great any ways i was said that anaroid and xperia series phones are really good so go for it guys

  • ya why not.i have used it over 4 months and lost it unfortunately.although after yari i have purchased xperia and blackberry i dont get much thum as using yari.i have lost all my phones and still planning to buy yari again.

  • this phone doesnt has flash?

  • worst fone ever from sony.... altough it has 5 mp but in lowlight it sux even 3 mp gives a better shot and ya it hangs wen u are about to recieve a sms total lost of money

  • i am using this phone . internet fecility is too good os this phone . phone browser is too good the resume feculity is too good of this phone .its gives the high speed internet rather than other phone...

  • Good phone,both walkman and cybershot makes this phone really great.

  • For SE Yari themes; Try this link and u'll find campatible themes. Enjoy!!!!!!!!!!

  • SE Elm or hazel has wifi..

  • working very gud

  • Hi friend,i am using this phone since last one and half year,excepting strip complaints remaining all are OK.If strip complaint will arise it very difficult to clear because not suitable any strips available in market,must to get original strip it will take more time and very very costly.

  • it is not working as same as at the time of initial stage ,dont think about it

  • superb mobile. I dont think why people choose this.....

  • forget it

  • i change its strips two time in year.....so thing 1 one time before purchasing...x10 mini or pro is more better

  • you can easily turn off the predictive text from the messaging options, dont remember exactly as the phone's not with me right now but yeah, try exploring your phone and you should be sweet.

  • you might have to check if that theme is compatible, try powercycling your device. if need be, check for themes from SE and see if they work or not. see if an upgrade is available for the phone's software for it to be compatible with the themes that you are trying to use. if nothing works then check out the SE forum, i m sure you would get your answer.

  • yes mate, the 2ndary camera is for video calling. once you open the application, you would have a menu option to directly enter your phonebook and choose the mobile number with whom you want to do video calls. for rates, contact your service provider.

  • hae dnt b wooried just long press '#' key and select Standard ABC Problem solved!!

  • i have use this phone since last year but istill can't use the theme so many time ihave download in the internet but it doesnt work why??????

  • Sony Ericsson Yari, I've had this phone for a year now and all I can say is it's a great phone. No exaggeration here, I dropped it more than 20 times and it still works great. But after a while, after maybe 25 times of dropping it, and getting it wet, (I often drop it on the bathroom floor.) the LCD kinda had a problem. But it lasted a year without problems, so I recommend you to buy it. It's a great companion. Very.

  • Can we use the secondary camera for video calling or we have to use only the main camera for video calling?

  • The Yari really is a good phone. I can't complain about much, even though there is something wierd about the phone...the stupid prodictive text. It's just not normal and the word suggestion list that one can't hide, it is so irritating. WHAT WERE THEY THINKING????? Maybe they must have a software upgrade available so that some of us can hide the stupid word list, and maybe they can improve on the predictive text feature. After all, there's nothing wrong with the normal T9 that SE has been using all along.

  • dont compare hazel with yari... yari is far far better than hazel...... the image size is very low in hazel when compared to hazel.... also sound quality is low in hazel....

  • you shold buy hazel over yari!

  • whic on eshould I buy Yari or Hazel?

  • I am using the mobile since one year, I was faced lot problems with this mobile like buttons not working and when i contact famous customer care (Which can be treat as worrest customer care i ever faced) they given me the mobile after 10 days says problem with the internal card and we replaced the card but same problem i faced for three times, and they replay me that SWETTING (I DONT KNOW HOW ALL OTHER WORKING)entering into the mobile you need to cover the mobile with other covers (OR EVEN SPARES) which are almost not availbale with sony or IN MARKET.

  • why?

  • better than elm

  • Sony ericsson yari is the best phone which I had used,if it had wi-fi,it is the top phone in sony

  • sony ericsson a wonderfully phone.

  • The cell is an excellent choice. Go for it!

  • It's an excellent phone.. the camera is damn gud.. but coming to battery it's some wat..

  • the video recording is very good and phone picks up even the most faintest of voices and the audio in the video is very good.

  • Camera comparison(elm/hazel and yari)::- Camera of yari is has better and larger lens and sensor than elm/hazel similar to cybershot 5mp mobile camera. In bright sunny days elm/hazel takes more sharpe and better pictures than yari. But when it comes to indoor or low light condition yari is very good but with some/heavy noise.elm and hazel are almost useless in low light or indoor with very dark photos(we cant see the subject at all) and with very weak led flash no improvement. Also there are orange and blue lines in low light shots in elm/hazel when we increase contrast/brightness in low light. Led Flash is strong in yari. Focusing is faster in yari. Most of the time we dont need flash in low light in yari(with twilight landscape/portrait) . Sometime with led flash in yari closer or macro shots are washed out. Macro or close shots are better in yari with real color. Yari photos are not sharp as elm/hazel and less details in bright lighting condition. But overall yari camera is very good with strong led flash but sometime color and contrast are low.so its better to edit. I can clearly say that yari is low light leader compared to current mobiles in similar category including of nokia and samsung (except n73 n82 n86 n8).. Video recording is very good but again color are weak. Again in low light where elm/hazel cant see what is in front of it, yari can take video pretty good(with low color and contrast)

  • yari is 100 times better than w705 and yari bcos of gud luks and superb music player

  • Go for yari if u want a good music player, good looks and novelty like gesture gaming. If u want biger screen and wifi go for hazel. Dont go for w705 as it is almost stopped.

  • Your single bad experience does not mean tat sony is a bad company. Wen u say tat it is the problem wit all sony y the hell did u buy sony u shud have buyed some other phone. Sony is and will always be a pioneer in releasing new tech. It released walkman phone and everybody started making music phones. So dont comment about sony.

  • Hey ppl plz suggest me the best phone out of hazel, w705 & yari. Thx in advance.

  • It nice...,

  • I HATE THIS FREAKING PHONE. GOSH ITS SO EFFING SLOW ITS ANNOYING ME!!! When i'm texting someone, and another text is coming in, the whole phone will lag for awhile before letting me text again, like wtf? and now the phone has screwed up on me, when i flipped the phone down to lock, it turns either blue, yello or those rainbow curly lines in the whole screen. HATE THIS PHONE, DONT BUY SONY, ITS ALWAYS THE SAME STORY FOR SONY. -____-

  • does the new firmware increase its signal reception strength??

  • yes it is very good

  • ABSOLUTE PANTS, DONT EVEN CONSIDER!! Im stuck with this crap for an 18 month term, I did continue to use my C902 until it broke because it was a far superior phone, MUCH nicer to use. Yari lacks signal, crap to text with (buttons are badly positioned, horrible to text one handed and they have an EXTREMELY annoying predictive system unlike the usual T9 dictionary. It lacks way too many features for what it is and the price it was. If your looking at this phone, buy a C902 instead!!

  • its gud if u dont mind low signal strength

  • i wnt 2 buy dis phn.....is it gud???????

  • Thank you so much friend...

  • yes, yari has megabass equaliser but no manual equaliser.. not all yari users have the same hardware problems.. it is based on how you handle the phone.. (i've never faced any keypad issues since i bought it)

  • hazel has better camera, keypad & it also has wifi.. but in terms of audio quality, loudspeaker performance, built, yari is better

  • Hey guys,,i really need help here,, i want to know which one has a better camera quality,, hazel or yari??? Pleaseee help... Does yari's keypad really suck? Thx a lot..!!:)

  • Hi friends, Pls tel me that does Yari has 'MEGABASS' equilizer.. how about the hardware complaints in the provious post.., I really like this phone (for its specs) but confused with the h/d problems mentioned in our friends previous discussion... Please advice me...

  • Hi all.. I've been using yari since January.. It's a gud phone for people dat like entertainment.. It has an an excellent loudspeaker, the headphone provided with it is also very good (almost as gud as Walkman headphone), the camera is not really great, the colour of the pic it produced is low, u shud edit the pic after u tranfer it to your computer. However,t the camera does a very gud gob for recording.. Sometimes, there is a problem with the signal, but sometimes it does the best job compared to other phones. For eg, while I'm in the lift, people cannot call me, but with my yari I can accept their call.dats impressed me.. Keypad is quite flat, but it is suitable for people dat have smaller fingers.. I've dropped my phone for about 7-9 times, but the phone still works like the first tym I used it. .. Overall, Avery gud phone, but it will be better if it has wifi and doc viewer.. Thanx:-)

  • I wonder why sony ericsson dont put wi-fi in their fones.to me wi-fi is very essential.

  • amazing phone dude , sylish, as it is gaming mobile it is stronger than hazel guys plz tell me can u access gprs in phn through pc internet in this model???????????

  • no touch screen and no wifi.

  • you better choose hazel for your girl. just a suggestion

  • no this is not touch screen

  • i'm gonna give this phone to my girl. is it a good phone and is it user friendly?

  • hii!! can u tell me if u r using this awesum phn... i read some of the review that its keypad giving problem i do chating a lot is this phn is best to buy??? plz suggest b/w zylo & yari i love yari but m confused abt its keypas prob plz lemme know thanx for ur valuble advice

  • does it has touch screen?

  • i realy lyk dis 4ne en i wnt 2 buy it

  • i am also having this phone still i am also searching new version software for being them

  • ive been using this phone for almost a year. a great phone. but may i know what is the latest version of the firmware. thnx guyz:)

  • just go to the sony e store and ask for replacement... its definitely possible as you have had the phone for just 1 month... you can negotiate under ELF - early life failure warranty

  • @prathap dont mind if the updatesoftware say it is already updated... go for re-instal phone software from update manager and most errors like hangs,restarts...can be cleared

  • i am purchase yari last 1 month . i hv keypad problem . any one tell service centre in tiruppur

  • i bought dis phone since january.. i am facing a problem, why does my friend could not hear me while im talking.. me too.. is it becoz of the signal?

  • well i used to be a very big fan of SE since i bought my first phone k750i, the phone was excellent except the joystick problem.Later i purchased w960i which always had touch screen problem even after these bad experiences i foolishly bought yari in this jan and since then the phone was giving some or the other lind of trouble u wud b surprised to hear that my phone has been lying in the service centre frm the past 3mnths.it has keypad problem,slider problem and even some major problems.i totally lost faith in the company nd i have shifted to samsung which re far better phones

  • I bought beharain .for repairing need to much time.no servicing centre in behrain

  • @Saminder Pal Singh pls say the way to update brot.. i tried a lot through se updater. it says cant update. already updated... how can i update ?

  • what is the operating system of this phone?

  • Yes,u can update your phones's software as many times u want.

  • Hi...everyone..last month i updated my mobile..and now its gud to use..i hv one question..if any sw prob arise mean can v update it once more??? bcoz if i hv latest update mean the updater says..(already u r updated to latest version) so i cant update my mobile. any other way to update once again? pls reply... thanks in advance..

  • Their is no option to icrease the mega bass but i bought new head phone supports ericsson model HPM 82 it also as volume, pause play, next previous controls. Price is 450 and the result is awesome

  • just change the network settings manually from your phone from 3g to 2g and powercycle ur handset. u shud be able to find noticeable difference in reception. if its still not helping out, try doing an isolation test, use the sim at the same location in a different 3g phone. try doing a sim replacement, shud help u, if not then i am not sure if its a genuine network problem due to ur phone or u do not have enough towers in ur proximity! i am yari user in NZ over vodafone network and i have no coverage related issues.

  • Can any one please tell me how to increase the mega boss in head phones . If any software available please tell me please thanking you before.

  • Dude I am also having endless reception problems with the Yari and this is the second one. I cant leave it in my pocket or the a pouch it looses signal in full coverage areas. I am a die hard SE man but I hate the reception on the yari it pathetic.

  • please sugest me which phone of sonyericson shall i buy within range of 15k to 16k?.,

  • yes same problem i m facing its camera ,s quality is not good even bad compair with 3mp camera

  • when i plug in 2 my com,there's no folder 4 it 4 songs n all tat 2 be downloaded.y?

  • trust me guys..i have yari..it is an awesome phone..with no any constraints about its working..i am using it since 7 months..it is a phone worth having..plus u have an excellent 5.o mp camera in very comfortable amount..go for it..thumbs up!!

  • hey guys i am facing camera problem if i click a photo its not worth that it is 5 mp compare to 3 mp .i want to question is same problem r u guys facing it

  • this phone look nice n quite simple...

  • Hi Experts, Pls clarify my doubt. 1. does yari have signal reception issue? 2. For how many days battery back up is there? (assume normal use, not heavy)

  • Thanks my dear friend

  • Just go to phoneky.com, choose java application, all categories, document editor and reader, and then select mobile pdf

  • How to read pdf files in yari please send me details thanks in advance please

  • hey guys i am facing camera problem if i click a photo its not worth that it is 5 mp compare to 3 mp .i want to question is same problem r u guys facing it

  • raj YOu do not require 3g to for gprs. Its a setting which is provided to u by ur service provider like i am using idea so the settings are provided by idea . you just need to go to seeting connections and internet settings to manually configure it.

  • No yar not required just net required

  • you can customize that functione

  • Hello, i bought this phone (yari/U100i) Six month back and it was only 4 months when the right keypad stopped working and i took it too service center which took 40 days to repair it and after using it for less than a month after the first repair now the bottom keys have stopped working.So yes the features worths it's price but when you will use it you will never want it again. So i would suggest keep yourself away from this phone as this is the issue with the Yari as i am not the only one who have similar issue with the phone .My other 2 friends too had the same issue and they end up running to service center just like me. So this phone do not worth it's price at last and never fall for it friends. This is my personal experience and i have decided to never purchase sony Ericsson phone again in my life as their service is worst. Rest you can decide yourself.

  • yes the first few words so appear on the screen

  • ive had the yari for a while now.. its a beautiful phone to look at, worth its price.. but i do agree that the keypad sucks.. and the two buttons on top of the screen both lead to the games list.. that was unnecessary..

  • can sum1 help me........do we require a 3g connection for gps to work....? Thanks in advance

  • thank you

  • pls tell me about the slider quality of this phone....is the slider shaggwy.is it magnetic slider like hazel

  • The camera is very good but u may find the video camera is better than the still camera. The headphone provided wit the phone is ok but if u want to feel the true potential of the music player u have to buy hpm70 and the audio quality is so good tat u will never use the earphone provided wit the set.

  • Thank U. sim card similar with GSM but our country CDMA (before) all sim card are four line phone card slot.Now like GSM our country name three line.If need you want see i can sent to you sim card jpg attach file to next week Wednesday.

  • Please somebody answer me: when recive massage, Is the content of messages Hidden or the first words is appear? I have Hazel, the first words in the message appear on screen..

  • Well I am using the phone for about 6 months now. The phone has very interesting features and the battery life is good (at the first two months I could have it for 4-5 days without recharging). However there are features that could have be designed better such us: 1. The camera lens. Well the worst thing is that the lens is really small. Thus there is a problem when it is covered with dust or dirt which is something really common: It is really hard to clean the lens (I use an ear-stick when it is available - when I am home) and the photos get blurry. It's like you are shooting behind a filthy glass. Moreover I didn't like the flash function which doesn't give you the option to use manually the flash (It's either automatic or no-flash). Believe me there are times that the automatic feature dosen't work well. 2. The keypad. I agree with most of the people that are disappointed by it. Just read other comments about this. And NO. It's not a malfunctioning as some people are trying to imply claiming that their keypad is good. To my opinion the keypad design just sucks (You have to slide your fingertip all over the keypad in order to distinguish by touch the right key, and thw 1,2,3 buttons are too close to the above "slide pice" of the phone). I cannot imagine how this phone can be used from a guy with fat fingers.... 3. The responsiveness. The phone is slow. The start up time, the responsiveness to the commands are significantlly slow compared to the K750i I used to have...I hope it can be fixed with a software upgrade. 4. The 2 xtra shortcut buttons that are on the top of the screen: THEY ARE NOT CUSTOMIZABLE !!!!!! They both lead you to the games directory and that's the end of it!!!! I've called SE and they Why? Just why SE did that for? To my opinion this clearly states that SE didn't want to make a good phone. SE wanted to make an "impressive" phone for users that don't pay much attention to the details....

  • Hey its motion sencer is very sencitive . . Keep ur yari vertically in ur hand or place it on against u and move it left or right then see its magic its very good .. Wowwww. U can download boxing game too..

  • Can i use CDMA 800MHz sim card to yari U100 or how?

  • I wont ask about msg.... when recive massage, Is the content of messages Hidden or the first words is appear? I have Hazel, the first words in the message appear on screen... I don`t like that.

  • Hi king how does shake control for yari works? plz help. RK

  • how is the camera & the keypad & headphones are good or ok or excellent

  • thankyou

  • hey,d msg memory of yari is unlimited as u can asve d msgs in memory card too............ no prblm on dat grounds

  • iam using Yari for the past 4-5 months..i just have a problem in which after forwarding a message, the message which i actually forwarded gets blinking till again i pressed the view option and sometimes the message wont be there but instead of that there's a blank space in that place...Sometimes this mobile gets hanged up though iam not performing multitasking and i have to remove the battery so as to make it work properly again...But the above problems occurs only occasionally...Apart from that this mobile is good having a good cam quality and the motion gaming also works great...Is there any software updatation available for yari

  • I cannot get more than 3.5 days standby time. I have emailed Sony,who just told me to reduce screen brightness etc, which made no sicnificant difference. The keypad is not very positive as there seems to be a small dip below each number, which leads to keying in the number or letter above the one you want. I don't know if any other user found this a problem, but i much prefer the seperate key format. All in all, very dissappointed with it. Can anyone get more than 4 days standby? Ihave even bought a new battery, which made no difference.

  • good clarity mobile

  • Hi, pls dont think tat all the yari phones have the same keypad problem as u do bcos I am using the phone from 6 months and not even a single problem. Ur set might b a defective one. And people dont buy d phone just bcos it has motion gaming but buy it for the fact tat it is a very good phone in other features. Use an original walkman head phone and d sound quality is just amazing.,u can check out gsmarena's review of the sound quality urself. The cam is very good if u hold it still.

  • Well, i must say S.E disapointd me. dis fone nids a major operating system ugrade, n excellent anti virus and a better signal sensor. But i must say d motion games r gr8, d camera beats a tons of its peers. n al in al d performance could hav bin beta

  • This phone's good and also not wasting much money. But I just use about 5 months, it's often off by itself. What's wrong with my phone? Is there any problem at the battery or what? Hope the answers, thanks a lot :)

  • Thanks for answering my question (^_^)

  • se phone's secondary camera can't take pics, its only for videocalling.

  • I use zylo. It's a great phone for mid-end. Also there motion gaming in zylo

  • you should go for the aino it's good on gaming. it's good for gaming + you can you use an expandable memory card up to 32gb. it has a fab 8.1 mp camera. it's a nys phone but quite big.

  • aino is better than w995

  • initially this phone was great, but its been giving me a problem with freezing and I've taken in for repairs think the 5th or 6th time now. what other similar features phone is available out there?

  • if you like to play a games on your handset go for Yari. but if you like surfing, you better choose hazel because its a wi-fi capable.

  • does SE w995 has good walkman features, what do you think about AINO,,, X10 is too expensive, my mom might not allow

  • you should try the se w995 or the se x10...... they are nyc phones

  • hey ppl!!... can yu all lemme know hows de fones camera works in night time!?!?!?!? coz i'm thinking of buying this phone...n confused whether to go for hazel or yari!!!..can any1 rply me?!?!?!?

  • To make a video call, your phone must have a 3G phone subscription that supports 3G service and 3G coverage (3G service is available when 3G or H symbol appears)

  • camera- awesum camera, excellent picture nd video quality music-- very clear nd loud i bought dis fone a month ago nd i love it

  • may be you buy AP set, not original.

  • does the yari allow you to edit your pic once it's saved. if it does how do you do it ......... cnt seem to find it

  • i hav bought this phone about 6 months but the video call doesn't work! can anyone teach me???

  • I have yari and it has a very good camera. D manual focusing wit camera button sometimes does not give good pics but if v press t d pad middle button d pic quality is good. The video recording is superb. The music quality through d headset provided wit the fone is gud, but wit Walkman headphone the music quality is just amazing and brilliant.The bass sounds very good

  • does yari has shake control? please reply to me. i am in a dilemma to buy it or not

  • The camera is execellent!

  • is yari sounds good

  • Can anyone tel me about the camera clarity of yari bcoz most of the sony ericsson phones are writtened as megapixel camera but the quality is poor so plz clear my doubt

  • does it have shake control function??

  • Yes you can as far as i know

  • what other format can i use for songs & videos

  • can i make video calling in Sony's YARI .Also can document (Word,Excel etc) option availble.

  • the camera of 3 yari is wonderful but the colour shoul be adjusted before capture

  • yeha its nice but it is hanging when the call log gets filled&inbox .so we should delete call log &inbox offten

  • i like to yari phone but this costly and this is good

  • I am planning to buy Sony Ericssion yari/Nokia 6700 classic.Can u plz tell me which camera is better

  • I bought the yari 2 weeks back. The phone is just mindblowing.i had a k810 before even it was super. I really miss d flash but d flash Is quite powerful. Pls read d audio quality of yari review in tis site so u can get in idea of d super audio quality. D sound in hpm 70 is superb and amazing. D motion gaming is also good and it makes tis phone different from other phones. Battery life is also good. The camera is satisfactory but d video recording is superb. D phone also looks very good compared 2 other sliders.

  • The biggest problem with this phone is the navigation especially the right and the back key.It works sometime nd again the same after reading the comment from every one we all need to lodge a commplaint on consumer forum. Apart from this is an awesome phone but alas plzzzz sony do something abt it.

  • This phone is worthy for medium range ... games and audio is very nice and great... dont wait.. YARI is the ONLY best....

  • battery back-up is excellent, giving 2-3 days in hi uses.

  • on full charge.. it wud go for 2 to 2.5 days for me with nominal calling/txting and above avrg usage for email and games.. i spend around 3 hrs daily on the latter. cam quality is avrg.... contrast ratio not tht gud and therefore hav 2 use fotofix everytym (which doesnt bother me)... shooting pics in nite tym su x tho .. eventho its got LED flash... it just doesnt help videos r also pretty clear and the sound on it is crisp as well.. i m a budget user and therefore this fone is OK for me but if u r more buzzed up on having gud cam features then u can choose not to go for this phone cheers

  • how is the battery backup of this phone?????? and camere pic quality?

  • have been using this ph since nov.'09 and till date no probs wotsoeva at all.... games r gr8, keypad's working nice... only trouble for me would be tht i need to use fotofix everytime i click the picture... may b coz of poor contrast ratio on the ph... but 4 the price tht i paid for.. its understandable... a gud compact work + play mate at a competitive price... only SE cud offer this!

  • i love this phone...

  • I am very happy I bought it. Many features, great strength when it hits bottom. Do not hesitate to get it.

  • This phone is really wonderful if you are considering the cost... for a mid-range price of Rs.12000, you get A LOT from this phone. This fun little thing is full of surprisingly powerful features: the camera is great,music is simply amazing like in all sony phones, web browsing is pretty decent, also motion sensor gaming is like cherry over the cake. What more can you expect from a mid-range fone like Yari?

  • why? is smthing happen wrng --then rply coz i hve dis fone.

  • its really problematic...better 2 choose some other

  • it's cost 12.200rs--excllnt fne--dnt wait buy dis--white red color is gd bt its limited.

  • is dis gud? im going to buy a new phone..

  • Well I have raised this concern in consumer forum... Please do the same, lets spread the word and make Sony pay... Consumer forum- Supported by govt. -http://www.ccccore.co.in/Default.aspx

  • plz write correctly itz off rs.12500

  • Hi, I have just bought Yari. It is nice. I loved gesture gaming. Can anybody tell me how to lock keypad manually, when slider is closed??? thnx in advance

  • plz guys nd galz dnt go for YARI . . .m not against siny ericson . .u can go for any other sony eric fon. . . .but belive me YARI sucks. . .m using it from d last 7 months. . .. m totally fed up with dis fon . . .So plz avoid it . . . .

  • @ Abdul Husein Salaam brother . . .me tooo having same problem what you are facing (keypad issue which includes back key nd right navigation key). .. i sbmtd it on 25th june at sony ercsn service center nehru place delhi .. . .nd m still waiting for my fon . .they are saying parts r nt available . .. . this fon reallly Sucks yaar . . .their manger said that we are having 900 yari with us ryt now with same issues. . .it clearly indicates that Sony ericsson YARI is d biggest FLOP of dis year . . . .I jus hate Sony Ericsson now . . . .:(

  • hi me too have same problems which were repeated for many...every month for 17days my phone phn will be with service centres and left will be with me.....i hav video call camera n lutooth battery backup...

  • Be wary of buying this phone. Have got the phone and its keypad started giving issues in 4 months. Currently, my phone is with the service center for over a month. And still they tell me to expect it only after one week (Actually this is what they tell me everytime I call them)! And that too not confirmed. Have found many other Yari phones have similar issue and are with service centers for an awful amount of time. Many have found the issues to prop up again after first servicing. Numerous of my mails to their Sony have not received any attention. Loved my phone when I first saw it and I got in my hands. But now spend precious time listening to the service center folks blabber. Worried if I'll ever get my phone back :( Any one has suggestions to deal with this grievance kindly share...

  • is dis phone still having the camera problem?

  • Is Hazel's camera more like cybershot model? Do u find any hardware problems in Hazel?

  • hi,,, well YARI camera is ok,but not like cybershot model. Contrast is low,need to use photo fix for the same. Overall nice phone from SE...

  • hi... any YARI user from INDIA. I am facing a peculiar issue with my YARI. I have installed many apps(gmail,go talk,orkut,facebook,snaptu,ngpay,opera mini,dictionary,mguard,way2sms,youtube).All the apps running fine (mobile office AIRTEL) except ngpay. while connecting it gives me connection error. Also contacted ngpay customer care,follwed their procedure,but no luck till now. Can u pls help me out with this issue. Ngpay is running fine on my W700I(SAME MOBILE OFFICE connection).

  • Thanks for replying. Can u elaborate on what type of harware problems are frequent in Hazel? Can u comment upon the slider of Yari? Does it wear out soon?

  • rohan it's better you go for yari. hazel has too many hardware problems while yari has only quiet a little software problems which can be rectified by the company in the upcoming firmwares. consider the lack of wi-fi in yari if you are living in a wifi network. normal people dont need them they only use gprs

  • thank u for the information

  • i hope this phone come with wi-fi.

  • Guys please compare Yari n Hazel. I know Yari lacks two things: Wifi n 0.2" screen size. I dont mind the difference. Also i know that Yari has much much better audio levels on the external speakers. So, the only differentiator remains is the camera. I can make this out from the reviews of both the phones: 1) Hazel shows a white spot on the subject of the picture (some focussing problem). 2) Yari has no contrast settings so the photos are dull. Also, there were more posts on network reception problem in Hazel's reviews than in Yari's reviews. So, which one of Yari n Hazel has a better camera? Finally, which one should i buy (the price difference is almost negligible)??

  • @Anon Yari is the best in this price range. Yari has better features than Hazel (except that hazel is wifi enabled) and definitely better looks than Hazel. @Aivy1681 Camera is amazing if you can handle it properly. If you dont set it properly, the picture will definitely get messed up. And as far as the signal reception issue is concerned, i wont completely deny the fact that it is true but still on the whole, complete thumbs up. @Nadia Will update you on your issue soon. But I dont think it can be done.

  • how to remove shortcut while receiving message....plisss tell me....when i receive a new msg...it comes in shortcut even i have set picha for that person.....plisss help me....

  • The headphone provided with this phone really sucks which completely detoriated the music listening experience of this phone. So today I have purchased a sony ericsson walkman headphone HPM 82 and it has completely changed the music listening experience and it is really awesome.

  • a very nice phone in the range i hav ever seen.

  • if you want a SE:c901 if you want a nokia:n82

  • display is nice,sony has less importance on buisness people,nokia got more consious for the buisness people,inside contact edit label is most important factor and it is necessary for the buisness guys,why you not aware?

  • Yes sure buddy u can buy this phone if u want a good music and nice camera... i m using yari and i found it as a good music player and good camera.

  • Its speaker is very loud....i m using yari and it has stereo speakers, 2 at the back and one in front. and yes it can dissapear ur messages from standby.

  • It`s hang and slow becoz the internal memory is very small (60 MB)

  • its the same problem for my w910i..

  • I using Hazel now...its good and nice but the speaker is very low Also din`t have option for disappear the massage content from the screen. My question about Yari is: 1)The speaker is loud (like T715) or low?? 2)It`s have opition to disappear message content or not like this option(setting-General-new event-pop up)? Thanks

  • i have been using for last couple of months.nice phone from SE.As suggested by basant,yes it needs proper care..it's cabinet is not as robust like SE K750I. sure u will love yari..

  • hello guyz, this phone is very much good looking and many specialties in gaming it is a awesome phone but even if the phone get folleen down for a single time itz key pad is just gone be cracked from inside the have ver much specialties but it needs a lots of care !!!

  • hi, i was in se before, and i got this 5530, its good from the start, and now, after 6 months of using it, i can feel it deteriorating,getting slwer, ulike my e63, its been used hardly, but never seen it slow, nokia didnt concentrate on it very much, i going back to sony, im getting an aino, its still your choice, but as of me, i would not recommend it

  • hey guyz it have shake control but can someone tell me how to use "hande shake control" function..

  • yariiii is good looking and easy to useeee i am using this for three months its very comfortable

  • Yari is much better. If you are switching from a SE Walkman phone you can use the noise cancellation headsets which has a 3.5mm jack. 5MP camera with photo light, image stabilizer and 30fps video recording. The stereo speakers gives out really smooth sound. Has 3G and browsing is fast. Shake control and MEGA BASS audio preset. Good battery life.

  • I am using YARI for last 5 months. Its very comfortable in using. All the features are excellant. It does not has Wi-Fi. sometimes i miss. But u cant get wi-fi everywhere, So its better to opt for GPRS, not u can easily get it at a cost of Rs. 100 as rental. Surfing speed is really very good. Other features like music, camera, and all the applications are very good. GO For it...

  • Nokia 5530 Pros -3.5mm headjacl -Wi-fi enabled -touchscreen -yeah that's all i got.. cons -no 3g -not capacitive screen -camera could be better -it's not as intuitive as it seems, does tend to lag if you over doing it. - the lock system is not fitted. Yari pros -3g -slider not sure how it's a pro -nice design -5MP camera plus A/F and Flash -intuitive -simple to use cons -no wifi -no 3.5 head jack - yeah thats pretty much it Similar features -Stereo Speaker -both cost cheap, maybe average -use micro SD Personal Opinion Yari is good for wasting time cause of it's game, let's you use motion control, 5530 is good for music entertainment and installing software for symbian, and if you're lucky, hotspot all the way if you're covered.

  • I have purchased the phone a month back and i am very satisfied except for the fact that there is no wifi on it, but thats fine if u all r luking for sound quality picture, internet connectivity usefull applications, u had to stop over this phone

  • Yeah wi-fi is useful if you have a hotspot, otherwise, it's useless, but if you have a 3g phone, atleast you can use it as a modem, or even surf in it if your, telco is cheap, as for Yari, it doesn't have any Wi-Fi, but if you can spend a little bit more, why not get the Aino, or Satio or even better Vivaz with HD recording^-^

  • hi friend...! actually i am fixed to buy yari cell. as it satisfied me with all it features. but i need it to be enabled with (((wi-fi))). can i get yari with ((wi-fi)) enabled.. if so i ready to buy it.

  • hi friend...! actually i am fixed to buy yari cell. as it satisfied me with all it features. but i need it to be enabled with (((wi-fi))). can i get yari with ((wi-fi)) enabled.. if so i ready to buy it.

  • if youre after the camera, go for yari, but overall 5530 is better,.. camera is not that bad, very good music quality, and best of all its WIFI ready unlike the Yari

  • I own a nokia 5530 and all i can say is that, it's pretty much an average phone, nothing special bout it, but it does serve all your need in the music department, like a 3.5mm headjack sure comes in handy, the bummer part of the phone is that the screen is not capacitive, tho it doesn't really need a lot of force to input your text like the LG Cookie which is a handfull, As for Yari, it does lack the 3.5mm headjack, but it's a slider, which makes it fancy, and it's also good if you wanna waste your time waiting by playing games, im also looking into buying it cause of it's price, not to mention the 5MP camera which is surprising good, not saying that the Nokia camera is, but could done it better, tho it's not a Carl Zeiss lens which is a bummer, but im not sure bout the Yari Video, last time i've use a Sony ericsson camera the video quality sucks, but if you're not the type of person who is cautious of that, then Yari FTW, cause nokia isn't worthwhile, but there are other factor, connectivity, i always thought that having a wi-fi would be cool, when you can access free internet over wi-fi, if you're surrounded by it it's not a problem, but i rarely used it at my school especially when they lock it, thus wi-fi is not much use if it's a locked connection, anyway, if you're using Yari, and you wanna use the internet for your laptop or computer, you can use it as a modem with 3g which the Nokia 5530 lacks, Overall, the nokia is good mostly on music, the speaker is good but not the best, really like the stereo sound, im not sure how the Yari will be but you can check youtube and see what they have to say, but this is just my opinion, don't take seriously on it, have more options.

  • i was serchin gud fone wth streo spkrs,videolite,gud intnt brwsng & givs q videos.do you all thnk yari ok for me?

  • Is any problem with sliding part in this phone in long time

  • hey frnd i m thinking about to buyn d yari i want to get this fon just for listnin songs n make my update shots with its 5 mp camara dose it gud for me or, do i need to change my mind.

  • This shouldn't actually be difficult as there are fundamental differences between the phones: Nokia 5530: Wi-fi, NO 3G Yari: NO Wi-fi, 3G It depends how you intend to get onto the internet. The Yari is actually more comparable to the Nokia 5320, which, like it, has 3G but no Wi-fi. Aside from that, here are the other fundamental differences: - The Yari has significantly inferior screen resolution. - The Yari isn't a touchscreen phone. - The Yari has a much better camera. 5 MP vs. 3 MP - The Yari comes with GPS. - 5530 comes with 4 GB sd card and Yari 1 GB. Overall, the 5530 is the more "sophisticated" phone for surfing the web and downloading apps. It also comes with a bigger SD card to carry your music. The Yari is a conventional phone with a nice camera.

  • Hello people. I'm confused between Nokia 5530 and Sony Ericsson Yari. Both fall in the same price range. Please give an overall view right from specs to looks and all. Thanks!

  • new netfront browser is effective(depends mainly on ur connection type). but HAZEL is a better phone than YARI. picture clarity is ok in yari but not like HAZEL. Also Wifi is an added advantage.. hazel has larger scratch resistance screen . if interested for highend phone then chck experia x10 and vivaz..

  • Hi, This phone is really worth the price. It has awesome Music Quality (beats Walkman). Keypad maybe a problem for frequent sms senders. It has a very GOOD camera too. Here's a little trick for people having LOW CONTRAST issues with photos: 1) Switch on the Camera 2) First take a photo of a spot (for future reference) 3) Now, select "Portrait" Mode and then again Switch back to "Auto" mode, let the camera settle (it'll take 5-6 sec) 4) Then, again take a photo of the same spot and try comparing the old one and the new one. You'll see that applying this trick improves the contrast. Try it! Regards

  • Hi, Can anyone provide links where office application and themes can be downloaded free. Cheers

  • hey plz tell me its camera features.. is it good? n also its main disadvantages...

  • Hi everyone. If someone can maybe give me your honest opinion over these phones, i am about to upgrade and i looked at the Nokia5230 and also the Sony Ericsson Yari. How do you experience them and are there any major problems? Are you loving these phones and which one would be best. Thanks a lot!!

  • i have used this phone 4 3 months. . . n it rly works fine n gr8! but unfortunately my bluetooth stopped working. . do i need 2 update my software? except dis. . . i hv no problem in handling. . itz a gr8 phone!

  • If you think the sound from W395 speaker is "great" than i have no idea what would you say with the sound quality of Yari thru headsets. Gsm arena only said it's great and flawless, close to iphone 3GS except its loudness. If you looking for great sound quality from a phone, you would never found it if you enjoy it from external speakers. Get nokia or original china phones if you want "great" speaker's sound, go for sony ericsson and enjoy the real great sound quality.

  • How to make good photos 1. Light ur subject well If possible shoot outside or turn on the light when shooting inside. Beware that artificial light (indoors) impact the color cast and u might 1 2 experiment with white balance to fix it 2. Get close to ur subject 3. Keep still, this is especially important in low light situation, where the cam will select longer shutter speed to compensate the lack of light 4. Avoid using digital zoom 5. Do some experiments with white balance (see #1) 6. Practice makes perfect, take loads of shots and experiments 7. Keep the lens clean, use glasses cleaning cloth if possble 8. Edit image later on ur pc better than with cam phone's inbuilt editing

  • Can anyone tell me which of the Ericsson phones supports skype (not just chat ). The skype site has a list of Nokia phones and only the xperia 2 listed and few samsungs. Even through nimbuz and fring it seems impossible to find a decent list. Already returned the new Yari becuase it didn't support. Loved the tactile feel and display of the Yari though. Camera wasn't great even though its 5 Megapixel (right now i use the old k850, which is better i suppose since it's cybershot). overall nice design, and handles quite friendly.

  • Hi all yari users.. after lots of R&D purchased YARI... GREAT PHONE BY SE.. --features i love-- 1-display is stunning,battery back up is good(3 days for general usage). 2-camera picture is neat,videos not tried till now. 3-Signal reception is good,no random change in signal bar( poor signal reception as some users complained in this blog. 4-music as usual is up to the mark. 5-new web browser is well designed(though opera is superior). 6-lots of nice games. 7-I have no complaint regarding flat keypad. fatures i hate- 1-no full version gps sotware. 2-charging/USB port on top left side(fells bad when listening music). 3-no manual option in equalizer(really missing this feature),hope SE will add this feature in upcoming updates. Overall rating 9/10.

  • Yari has advanced camera option. Just like ordinary digital camera, you must configure this option (contrast, white balance, etc) for the best photo result. It's ok if your Yari network show poor signal. Yari has strong internal antenna, even the signal only show 1 bar, I can still calling and receiving with crystal clear voice!

  • Yari has secondary camera. You can use that camera for video calling on motion gaming.

  • Yes, earphones (MH300) come with the rubber.

  • hey..could someone tell me if the earphones are the ones with rubber on it or the hard n uncomfortable ones...??

  • Absolutely Yari is better! Yari has stereo speakers (2 speakers on the back of the phone). I don't know Yari sound quality through headset compare with W705 and W810. The best way to choose is you must go to selular shop and hear the sound quality of Yari, W705 and W810.

  • i have used W810i before and it also has megabass...is d sound of yari same with W810i with megabass or is yari beter?

  • W705 doesn't have stereo speaker. If you love powerfull bass, try Yari Megabass. But if you love clean-crisp bass, try W705 Clearbass!

  • i'm thnkn of buying a yari. which one has better sound quality through the clear stereo HPM-77 headphones, yari or the W705?does W705's clear bass sound better than yari's megabass with the HPM-77 headsets?plz reply..thnx in advance...

  • yari costs 12000 inr in india now.elm price not revealed now.elm has 2.6 inch screen,yari has.hope price of elm will be on a higher side.

  • Anyone in india, I need some infos: as i read that SE Elm already release in your place (me in south east asia), i heard the price is around 180 pound, is that true? and how much the price of Yari right now? I'm comparing both phones as they have similar features except Elm has wi-fi conn plus latest firmware than Yari, but Yari's music have been proven by GSM arena is among the greatest sound qlty by a cellphone. I need both great music qlty and wi-fi.

  • Is this yari support HINDI language? In my w660i,when i surf web,hindi letters show in sqaure a lot of It is same with yari any answer

  • Hi Yari Users Whoever see this please rate out of 10 which will be used for those trying to read review Call quality and signal reception - /10 Battery performance - /10 Music quality - /10 Camera snapshot quality - /10 Video recording quality - /10 Handling and Organisers - /10

  • Try www.zedge.net ... have a profile there as Vulcan6

  • For you front camera makes video call, but also you cam play games with that front camera.

  • For this price this is the best device. Camera is good outdoor but indoor it is crap. Even flash doesn't help. Yes video is VGA quality @30 fps. Speakers sound is perfect for mobile in that class. You will not regret. Sorry for bad english. I am from Croatia.

  • Please Anyone help me? please say does Yari can take video calls from front camara?

  • Hi.. Is this phone really tooks video recording at vga@30 frames per second and what about the quality. I have read many reviews regarding this phone and very affectionate in buying this and only one thing struks me is regarding its camera quality from reviews that is low contrast. If contrast is increased how it looks....any body suggest me please or can go for some other mobiles in this price range..

  • hey can anybody suggest a free site to download good quality 3gp videos for my sony ericsson k530i.

  • Any body please post some pictures taken with yari like morning, noon, evening, night, macro shots. as normal photo taken and the same photo with contrast adjusted.

  • Hi I hate touch screen phone,there are many touch phone like corby,5233 i used them but i like simple,superb keypad phone Now yari is my priority Am i going to right way?

  • Im about to buy AINO, but unfortunately its been always out of stock due to its demand, here in manila. due to lack of patience i decided to buy a phone already,im thing of w995 but unfortunately out of stock as well,so i went to w705, which has wifi, but they dont have the color that i want so they offered the YARI/KITA , no WIFI, but has superb quality in sound and camera, love the games, im just dissapointed due they took out photo dj and video dj, which i ussually use to edit my photo and mix my videos stand alone, but so far im happy with it. yet im still planning on getting AINO, after by bday eheh ^_^

  • Where did you dig this review? It's all wrong. Do you think Yari have Walkman 3.0. There is no W letter in name. And two different pictures: music player and Walkman 3.0. Menu icons are not correct. These are from W995 not Yari. Please review mobile phones correctly.

  • Is this phone a 16 million could screen or 256k? The preview and the review say different things... Thanks!

  • i got it yesterday.it was great phone,this is my first sony ericsson phone & i must tell yari ROCKS!!!

  • Camera quality of yari is almost same as n95 in good light condition but at low light condition like in inside room or at evening n95 is better than yari.and also while using yari camera you have use it with proper settings.in yari most of the time auto setting wont give good pictures. Camera interface of yari is way advanced than n95. there is no "best pic" option in yari like in other cyber shot series phone. Video captured are good but at low light condition again n95 is better. Hardware and lens used in n95 is superior than yari. Yari is not cyber shot mobile.

  • hey man definitely u shud go for yari.it is latest as compared to n79.it has 16gb mem. comp. to 8gb in n79.it has latest flash lite.12 skins for music player.it has most latest walkman and net browser.it has brilliant audio quality thru headphones and it cant b compared to nokia.sony is light yrs ahead of nokia in that.it has the revolutionary gesture gaming being the first ph to hav that.and motion gaming as well.it has much much better design compared to n79.it has much more features in camera.same as in cybershot ones.it has highly customable menu and supports flash themes.much more.

  • Compared review would be appericiate if any one can do it- All websites expert says about its camera quality is not good,like as blured and whitish colour,low constrat,low sharpness

  • Whether can read documents or pdf files? Eventhough not comes with doc or pdf readers. any softwares found anybody please... I am confused which one to buy yari or N79 both have same configurations and price N79 includes document readers preinstalled as per gsmarena spec. Please suggest

  • how is the camera and video quality compared to n95?

  • Yari review Design: slider is smooth and well constructed.buttons are very soft to press.upper two selection keys not comfortable. Screen: very good clarity, color and brightness. Call quality: good voice clarity and speaker phone is also good. Signal reception: is good but avoid holding phone in antenna area while on call.antenna is in just below battery. Music:very good audio clarity.you cant find better Bass effects than sony. All sony equilizer presets are present but we cant create our own.provided headphone is of good quality and can easily satisfy average music lover. stereo speaker have good audio clarity but loadness is moderate. Camera:very good but photos are pale in color and contrast. But not a problem we can edit it in any photo editor software.flash is good compared to other led flashes.you can also use it as a tourch. Battery life: max 3 days. Browser: very good compared to other feature phones.but cant beat smart phones browser.opera mini loads and runs fast. Games: play any type of games with additional motion and gesture games.navigation keys are big and good for games. Software or OS: very stable, fast and no crashes. Avoid application and themes from unknown or untrust vendors and web sites Overall Rating: 9/10

  • Hi.. am planning to buy yari.. please guide me.. about its sound, music, picture quality and about its features compared to nokia phones of same range... can i buy yari????

  • Hi friends am planning to by yari... can u please guide me... about its battery, music, voice and camera picture quality.. compared to nokia...

  • hey redx u talk like a best friend.u hav superb features in urself like se handsets.i want 2 know where do u live?how much hp-70 will cost?which mob. do u use?keep gng!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • 10 Hours ?? hmm..I don't think so..but 5-6 hours talk time is ofcourse there..and sorry about music playback time..I never tried that How much battery backup is there only for music playback..and one more sorry for photo upload..

  • Yes you can compare it with walkmans..you won't miss your k530 ofcourse..if you r really a music lover..if its essential part of your life..i suggest you to buy a handsfree which comes with W series (in-ear type) e.g. HPM-70 ...but again..this in-ear kind handsfree can damage your hearing very early..so..don't listen it at full volume..keep 2-3 bars low..enjoy the sweetness and clearity..you won't find it anywher else..just don't worry buddy..music quality through handsfree is tooo good..

  • Sony Ericsson Yari User Guide (PDF):

  • go for yaari buddy !! thankx

  • Hi Redx Thank z for the clarification regarding signal reception and call clarity What about the Battery backup in regular usage for U(Is that true as quoted 10 Hrs. talk-time and 450 Hrs. standby time) and what about Music playback time? Can U post some pictures taken without and with contrast increase.. which will be useful for many readers to judge.

  • hey redx u r a superman.plz stay connected.now plz tell me how is the sound quality thru headphones.is it comparable to walkmans. i m currently using k530 and its audio quality thru headph is simply awesome.i want to know what type of richness in audio quality will i witness in yari with this upgrade to yari?

  • Thanks. . . Signal reception is uerz nice in yari. . Bt 1 honest thing I wana say. . As per wht I experienced. . Here in india. . Nokia phones having slightly better reception over sony. .so if its a very crucial thing 4 u. .then u should prefer nokia. . Bt I dnt think u wl find nokia phone at this price with all this specification lyk yari. . . Incall clarity and loudness is very gud. . (Depends on signal reception) and if u ppl dnt know. . A feature called music call is in yari. . . .u cn play any music file from ur phone while on call. .opposit person on call cn listen it :-)

  • Yes u cn watch even without 3g..and actually, unlimited gprs plan is preferable for youtube. .u r already having it. . So..Cheers. . .

  • hI Redx I liked your review. Thankx. Please tell me What about the Signal reception and incall quality? I am using Airtel.

  • Hi RDX Thanks for good review But 1 ques is awaited by me about its loudness through loudspeakers compare to w595,w705,or n73? High Low Equal

  • can we watch online vdos through gprs connection as 3g is not available in our country? what if we hav unlimited data plan then may b i think we will not b charged.plz clear it.

  • Wow! RedX u have done a brilliant job here... I never thought that someone could post review like this... Thanx a lot... i have a question hope will get answer soon... i m planning to buy a phone but m confused b/w yari and c901. Can anybody tell me which one is better?

  • hey wats better yari or satio ......n which 1 is cheaper????? thx

  • Thanks :)

  • Ofcourse..obviously...you can watch videos...as I said its like your separate youtube..it includes everything....Hmmm..I think may be you are thinking is it free or what..its not...reguler GPRS charges from your operator will be applied.. Favours I will do..flavour..you select :) regards

  • hey redx one more favour plz.can i watch online vdos through that you tube application on yari?

  • having youtube application..you don't need to open website from your mobile browser..so its like a totally seprate youtube for you only..you have to sigh in once only..then everytime it will remember your id..interface is also good..you can directly upload ur videos from mobile easily..and yeah..it also saves every keyword you searched on youtube..and I think searching is faster here instead of opening from mobile browser..

  • Instead of description I show you example of Threaded messages.. Your_SMS: Hi sweety hw r u 2dy ? UR_GF_SMS:I m gud dear hwz u ? Your_SMS: missing u vry mch... UR_GF_SMS:same here its like chatting.. the view of ur conversion on sms with a person will be displayed as above..same like you do on Yahoo...MSN...etc..

  • ohk, thanks, im really bad in tech stuff.. so.. umm.. wt is threaded sms???

  • hey redx thanks for that review.can u plz tell me what is the advantage of you tube preinstalled application

  • Thanx for a nice and the objective review. This is what I called a usefull comment. Nice comment I've ever read. People like me needs a review like this. I have a plan to buy this phone.

  • May be you need to upgrade your software..my Yari never hangs and moves very fast.. my software version is 1224-6530 R7AA076 091215

  • Yeah video calling is ofcource there..

  • Definetely very good option..whatever things you mentioned .."Yari" is very good in all things...and if you don't know..its also having threaded sms..read review's SMS part

  • does the sony ericsson yari hav video calling?

  • hey, im 17.. need a phone, i was previously using N95 8 GB, and need 5mp camera, sound and entertainment.. price range, till 15k, is yari a good option?

  • Your 'Yari' Lags?????? surprise !!!!

  • 1. Camera Quality - Camera lens is far deep inside from the surface, making sure that no scratches will be there cause of reguler usage..but the problem is at the end of every day you will find dust on ur camera lens..so you will try to clear it with some cloth but as it is deep..you will need to put extra efforts which may result in scratches after long time..just be careful with it..my solution..good quality fully transparent plastic coating above camera lens..pictures taken with it..are not as good as it should be..contrast is missing..but "Photo Fix" option is there to use..so don't worry. LED is also bright but I miss Samsung jet which was able to take picture in full dark, I never use digital zooming as i think its useless and other options like panaroma..smile shot are working very nicely, won't be a problem in outdoor sunlight photos..and indoor..just make sure the light is good if you don't wanna edit.. 2. Sound quality....good good good good good..use nice walkman series handsfree and replace and forget your music player.. 3. I don't know the model number of the bundled handsfree cause I just used it once and put it back and using HPM-70 now..which may cost you around Rs. 450-500 ..bass effect is very good..but be careful..don't listen at full volume..it may damage ur ears earlier than ur age.. 4. Brosing speed...I think it depends on your operator..I use Airtel Mobile Office and it works very fine at good speed for me...that you tube application is very handy.. 5. Video clarity..again depends how you converted your videos..in which resolution..if you convert it in the same resolution as your mobile screen figures..it will be fine..i am having some 18-19 good resolution videos and it plays flawlessly..screen and processing speed is very good..just convert your videos properly..and you can enjoy it very much.. 6. keypad..ahh..its little bit awkward if you are used to use keypad with raised keys..but I think our fingers always set themselves after sometime to whatever kind of keypad we use..i tried in different conditions..like with big raised nails..without nails..don't worry.your fingers will find its way to type nicely on its own after some days usage..that also includes those 2 tiny keys above call keys.. 7. User interface..well..not at all any problem..not much change from other models..reguler..with some added animation effects..themes are good.. 8. Clarity of pics taken at night..as I said before the LED is not enough powerfull to take very good pics in "Very" dark circumstances.. If wanna know anything else..just ask me..will reply ASAP... Overall..luking at its current price..Its a sure shot very good deal..

  • Hi. Dear friend, you ask that, which one better of yari and w595, off-course yari is much better for w595, bcz yari has 5 mega pixel camera, and big screen size of w595, ya u have feel some extra money about yari. But if u don't mind then u got it..

  • Ive just got the Yari for a few days... In fact very happy with my purchase. It's definitely a very good phone. Tks to Sony Ericsson. :-)

  • hey hari can u plz plz plz tell me what is the use of preinstalled you tube application on yari.can we watch online vdos through it.plz help me.

  • Hey, how can you compare YARI with W series phones?? Except music you can't find much difference in W series phones. though YARI has less volume (but quality is awesome ..ihave been using it since the last 4months) it is great phone ...

  • You need not to worry about Yari. First of all the key pressing which gives much comfort than anyother phone in SE does. Camera is very good even in the night also we can get good clarity images. all that we need is to adjust some settings in the camera ..

  • plz give ur review about camera,music and sound

  • I purchased it last month. It always hangs and takes time to move from one option to other. I had great opinion about Sony products, but as owner of Yari......

  • Well alright because so many users have been requesting this I will give a small review of what I have experienced with the Yari. Looks/design: First and foremost the phone looks totally different in the different color solutions, the more beautiful one I found was the cranberry white one, it's so unique and eye catching reminds a bit of the beauty of K660i in the white and green edition. you will most certainly stand out! -in a good way. Screen: very nicely done seems to have increased brightness and clarity slightly if to compare with W995 for example on the same level as the Aino speed /performance: Very fast and again seems to be a step ahead of C905 and the likes animations play more smoothly And just to be clear yari has higher flash support just like Aino, so putting on flash themes from other models is currently impossible and vice versa I'm afraid, but with time I'm sure they will find another program that does the job. As for games and camera and sound -(speakers- because it has two) I will make an extra part two and for any questions about the above mentioned information just post a comment here in the opinions section hope I cleared up a few things.

  • .swf file work On yari Or not? Plz answer

  • anyone post some pictures taken by yari mobile

  • Any mobile expert may answer my questions? 1 which is better yari or w595 In terms of sound through loud speakes,camera is good in 5mp category I eager to buy yari Any 1 can suggest me a phone in range of 12k

  • All yari users are requested to give their opinions about phone performance-

  • i used to have g705 before yari...i think g705 is better than yari. yari can't read swf file. menu is boring. g705 has more stylish----g705 has fast wifi. though yari is more advanced in games, but nothing more....im very disappointed

  • yari's themes are boring! themes are rare to find and work....media is not good to see using downloaded themes....any suggestions for yari's themes.....

  • RedX can u plz tell me which headph cums with yari?

  • I replaced bundled handsfree with walkman series (HPM-70) handsfree and ... advice to every 'Yari'onwer to do this only if you want to hear the real sound of 'Yari'.. Anybody pls tell me if TV-out cable is available for this handset.. (India) because I think playing motion senson games will be more fun on big screen.

  • audio quality of this phone is good.. but not as loud as those from walkman phones..

  • i had bought yari yesterday and till now it has given me great usability satisfaction. the earphones provided are a bit low but if you exchange it with the walkman headphones then it will be awesome.

  • Which one better of audio quality between w995 or yari? Because both yari and w995 has good result in the test audio quality .

  • i like it very much.. +speaker sound +camera +games -buttons is a little bit hard if u want to write a msg.

  • any yari user plz tell me if it has shake control or not?

  • I like to prefer white color it is undefined just awesome

  • i just bought it last 2 weeks.. Its awesome!! the sound of the speaker is great though quite slow.. the camera is excellent! if you find quite hard to press the button, you'll get used to it.. the greatest phone ive ever owned!!

  • plz tell truly which colour looks more attractive black or white

  • canberry white is a very good color option for yari(specially); but only if you dont use it extensively. so that if you see your white yari after every couple hours later it will delight you. either it will bore you.

  • Hi all yari users Plz give ur true opinion about yari I want to buy it Plz detailed review

  • Yes it has preloaded 4 themes And there are more themes available on laysk.net and esato net U can download themes and use them

  • want to choose color? i have some recommendation. so, if you are going to use yari extensively like everytime everytime everytime anywhere everywhere then you should go for the black one because,black dosent gets bored easily. tough it is common. but thats a fact.

  • hey anybody can tell how is the downloading speed via gprs connection on yari.badly need it as i m gng to buy it soon

  • Does it have theme ?

  • hi every one I got this mobile for Rs.12,100 at "the mobile store" about a month ago. This is my first hipriced mobile(my previous one cost just 1 thousand bucks ;P ) I had been hesitating to invest a lot in mobiles so always prefered digicams,Playstations and ipods than mobiles. But my first risk seems worthy :) it has a attractive display, camera quality-both pic n video, processing speeds(never hung so far) GPS is amazing, so nokia users never comment on this ;) On the other hand, keypad is not really comfortable for fast texting, Dont think this is the best sound from sony mobiles and not so impressive battery backup, signal reception can be annoying sometimes But overall, If u dont go deep into forests or work in a stone mine or lathe its still the best option for Rs.12k :)

  • i use this sony yari 1 month,sound quality so cool and awesome

  • Some more of my experiences with my new YARI (love the name) --One odd feeling is with the two white soft keys above call keys as they are very small, but after 3 days i started getting used to with it... --Me myself is a multimedia monster in terms of usage..lots of songs..movies..youTu..radio..thousands of pictures..etc..on my 8 GB card..explored through all..Yari never hanged.. --the large circular D-pad is really very good to use.. --Typing very fast for SMSers...will be a bit difficult for some days..but then it will be very very easy..its also having predictive text input..also remembers what i typed previously..and shows in typing new messages.. (this feature was in my Xperia X1) --Audio quality as I said before..mindboggling..superb..fantastic..the inbuilt stero speakers are enough loud..I thrown away my sony small stereo speakers.. --one very good surprise was GPS..i used GPS in my N85 and Xperia and Samsung Jet..and i started thinking that GPS can't work in indoor areas..Yari prooved my wrong.. --bye bye. may be some other things later on..

  • Is the sound quality really good? Im supposed to buy this handset very soon. I read many reviews, some said the sound quality is not so good as SE walkman phones rock. I havent used sony ericsson much, but wanted a good review on the overall features and usage. Thanks for ur take on the sound quality. Looking forward to ur next review.

  • just the camera and yari is perfect. i do not like apple iphone like blad picture quality from 5 mega pixel yari. hope sony-e will fix it and i shall buy and own yari.-request, sony ericsson rocks.

  • I got my 'Yari' yesterday..don't know much about other things yet..but one thing is for sure..Music Quality is Top Notch..never heard mobile like this one before..I have used almost all 'W' series of SE but this one sounds far far far better..and screen quality is also very very good comparatively (I have used samsung jet) will be giving opinions about other things later...

  • how is the clarity of videos on yari in landscape mode.

  • its kinda cute..but elegant in the same way..but unfortunately has no wi-fi... ):

  • Compare with n73me Does it has better colour and sharper images taken by camera Its led flash is more powerful than n73 me? Its shutter speed is faster than n73me Any real user who had n73 me and now using yari Plz reply

  • yes it does, unlike other SE phones that you can zoom only in VGA mode.....

  • This phone is known as KITA in the Philippines. Lol to change the wordings. YARI, in philippines, is used by Micael V. in his show "Bitoy's Funniest Video" YARI KA!! means Gotcha as a gag expression. lol

  • Does the Sony Ericsson Yari has proper zoom. It says it has got 4x zooom and 5 megapixel camera. But is it possible to zoom the camera to 4x with 5mp itself. or will this mobile camera zoom to 4x only at VGA mode? Because i bought a Sony Ericsson C510 mobile which has 3.2 mp cam, but can zoom to 3.2x only in VGA mode. Please tell me whether it can zoom to 4x in 5mp mode itself????

  • The pc suit is installed in the micro SD card supplied with the phone.Once you connect th Mob to the pc it will ask u whether to install or not.

  • does this phone really work yupppppp

  • If only it had touch screen capabilities, it would have rocked my planet. But if SE can update the OS to work in tandem with the gesture recognition, say navigation and biometric user face recognition, this is the technology to bet. What N85? Are you a Second Hand Mobile dealer or something dude? Does your N85 have accelerometer? game processor? gesture control? better music player? common? ROFL (Rolling on the floor laughing).

  • this phone is worst.... insted of giving 13000 for this mobile u can go for nokia n85 it is owsome and has good features than this mobile

  • Does Yari phone package include PC Suite? Anyone knows?

  • shake control--press and hold the music button(up key) and shake your phone.

  • i've already buy it... but its a little bit lag... its cost 342 sgd at singapore. and the facebook program is unable to log in even the internet browser is already can use for browsing.

  • I am using this phone for three months its camera and video quality is good then the music quality is awesome Gps works very fine and also keypad is very soft for messaging but the sucking thing in this phone is the ear speaker is tooooo low and they gave only one month subscription for Gps it does not have wifi and it will always hang though I updated the software two times it sucks they are getting more money but they didnt give more specifications like nokia phones and it will also always hang while using the internet this phone is worthless for its price games are too bore

  • Hi i got this phone this feb.. Brilliant phone.. Super sound quality, great camera, brilliant video recording, NO PROBLEM WITH KEYPAD, keypad isn't hard, its really soft & there's no keypad sound while messaging.. I would suggest that u buy the phone.. In India the price is around 12k.. Buy it from Sony centre's at ur city because they give the lowest price compared to any mobile stores around India..

  • is it worth buying?? does it cost high??? wat abt clarity of pictures?any problem with keys?????

  • Its is a very good phone. Battery backup excellent. Music quality excellent. GPS, GPRS all are very good. Motion Sesing technology is very good and you will start to love its all free & full version motion sensing games. Moreover, FIFA 2010 ; the full & free game is also there. After buying the phone, you must update the software. After N73Music Edition, I must say, its the only avaailable phone that is best in all aspects. I will give 9/10.

T_T yet so far quality of the phone is great

  • just bought my new sony ericsson KITA/YARI , i suppose to buy AINO/w995 but they dont have it on stock "metrowide", and i am thinging bout the w705 or this one, so far i was impressed, with the features. so i bought, great audio quality, camera, cool games. but anyone who know where i can download motion games e.g boxing,golf? only problem is when i try to connect to the facebook app, it might be a network issue, or with the app itself, which ill be checking with the service center sometime.. and no buttons on side ti easily access music(well i just got used to walkman series thats why) yet love the phone anyways., SE never failed me ^_^

  • Agreeee :D That's why i look for this. W705 (music) or C903 (camera)? With Yari, i got it both :D

  • hey friend , can you tell me wich one is better SE yari or w902 or c503 i want to buy ? plz help me

  • There's No Phone with Excellent Sound like Sony Ericsson...!!!, There's No Phone with Excellent Camera like Sony Ericsson...!!!...NO DOUBT AT ALL....!!!

  • SUCK! phones made by sony Ericson are to Expensive, but not too Good at all!!. . .

  • wtf.. no wifi?. to bad SE. better hit with a hammer. SE sucks..

  • Does that has games and sound like this phone ? Are you kidding ? Yari phone rocks !

  • Looks like a high end SE F305

  • GSM Arena, would you clarify this depth color thing: while on sonyericsson official sites it's mentioned that this phone (and also T715 and Naite) has 16M color screen, you still mention they have 262k color. Have you already counting the total amount of color those phones can showing and you have different results of what the phone maker has claimed?

  • better buy nokia 6260 slide than this. 6260 is thinner buy 0.3 mm. it has 200mb while yari has the poor 60mb. 6260 has wifi while this you will spend your money on that 3g app. 6260 has has 16m colors better than yari's 256k. based on the camera i think yari is a little bit better than 6260 but they are both 5mp and has autofocus and 6260 has better led flash because its bigger than the small round led flash of yari.

  • good job, SE! but, does Yari look like Nokia N81 in disguise? err.. nevermind.

  • can i have it as i am a college student and have used mobiles like e71,e90,bb curve,iphone

  • I am using the phone its awesome with a price tag of 12K, I think there is no other phone is available which has all the feature that YARI has.

  • look guys dis phone rocks coz d only phone with gesture gamin at dis price i think its gud yeah i do...

  • no

  • SE Should make yari with extreme feature and proper price like as- 1 full loudness+clear stereo 2.5mp with dual led flash 3.best pic app 4.good keypad 5.wifi 6.price within 10k-11k 7.it should be better Any support with my opinion

  • we cant say anything now bcos its new

  • Well technically, Mobile phone with 256k screen can display 256000 different colors & mobile phone with 16m screen can display 16 million colors... That means phone with 16m screen can display all the colors that 256k screen can show.. So what it means is Yari is a 16m mobile phone & better than 256k phones.. Even Aino & Satio r 16m..

  • 256k better for sure.. the phone is wonderful go for it

  • so, what you mean? is it 256k better than 16,777,216 color TFT model?..please help me..

  • Yari is a 16,777,216 color TFT model.. Its mentioned as 256k & that's wrong.. Checked it on Sony's website.. Bought it today & the phone is really good except the keypad but i got used to that in an hour or 2.. Brilliant Phone..

  • What can I say? The yari is the best sony ericsson ive ever owned- and no, its not the only sony ive owned lol!

  • this phone is good but sony ericsson should make phone with wifi

  • Is this phone going cheaper everytime I enter this page or what ?

  • It's nice phone but according to rate it's feature is not so much good and application is also less in no.. 5mp... but screen resolution is small. Clarity is cool. design is bad .... and color only adviced to take cramberry white...

  • its P 12,300 in the Philippines...

  • Hey nitesh plz tell me d exact store where u got it for 11000/- do the deliver at mumbai, wud be obliged if u can help me getting it....gimme d store name/number if possible... Thanks

  • in chennai its value is 11000/=

  • Can you tell me? In which area its 13,000/- INR, at where in mumbai?? ( Place name + store name + number ). B'coz i got to know that its currently selling on 14,000/- INR approx.

  • Its price is Rs. 13000/- INR

  • Why this Sony Yari�s price has reached so UP / high to the sky?? As compare to price, its having only 5MP Camera with 256k colour, not 8 MP, Then? Can�t be its affordable to SE fans upto Rs.10k or less. Its really disappointed to SE fans those who are really interested but can�t afford as it is too much costly. What's the camera / picture quality in day time & night time? I need feedback on this topic at the earliest.

  • i have this phone...firs time its hard to use the keypad(its really awfull)but after a week....this phone is nice...u will love it

  • What is the latest price of Sony Yari?? I need feedback on this topic at the earliest.

  • its a superb mobile with lots of enjoyment.......i hav bought it. its fun ...and i love this mobile..and the camera quality is very good.....with flash.....

  • yari produce good sound trough the stereo speakers on the back but through headphones,it produces really good n sharp sound. but it's not as LOUD as i expected from a SE, it's not like Walkman series but enough for me battery stays for 3 days on one charge at normal use, some music n gamin. if you need music go for a Wlakman. i recommend a W902 for sth in the same price range good luck

  • Does the Sony Ericsson Yari type hard? Like is the buttons of the phone crappy?? According to yari price, does it worth all functionality compare to sony aino which is too much costly. Does it have smooth operating? Is Yari has the best quality in clear picture with good resolution and loud sound? Does it give gr8 camera performance only with 256k colour?? On other hand, Its really disappointed to SE fans those who are really interested but can�t afford as it is too much costly. I need feedback on this topic ASAP. AND What is the latest price of Sony YARI & AINO Models????

  • Am a fun of SE and currently using k530i, the phone is good bt i feel the need for a change. I luv music alot n thinking of buying Yari. Cud anyone explain the Yari's performance in terms of music, da headphone + the speakers, battery life compared to other walkman series in the same price group.

  • How do you set a mp3 song as your ring tone on the yari?

  • How to you use a mp3 song as your ringtone on the yari?

  • New firmware has released with 2 new Games. Update your phone with SEUS.

  • does the software problems appear on all the Yari phones ?

  • c905 is heavier

  • How do you update the softwares ? Im buying Yari phone soon .. So i wanted to prevent all these things from happening too D:

  • if you mean the camra, then it's C903

  • but C903 didn't give you cable data n m2

  • wich one is better in low light condition?

  • This is my 7th phone and 3rd of SE. I realised that SE phones are only for light use. Nokias are same. They are only ready to hang out. But samsungs are really different. My last SE phone.

  • I totally agree

  • A significant and common reason for poor camera performance is poor ambient lighting. Another is the user's inability to hold still!

  • - da best phone i had in my life ( after nokia 2600 classic, nokia 5320 xm, nokia 5800 xm,se c510, se w902, se r306 radio, nokia 5030 xradio, se w508, and my present yari!!) - no problem so far after i updated it

  • 10x dude.

  • all the software problems like bluetooth bug, speaker volume during calls, main menue lag.... all fixed after the first software update !!! and 2 motion games are added too the only problem with the camera is that when you take a picture it look blurry. but actually it is way sharper than it looks, and its obvious when you zoom or view it on ur pc if you compare btween this and c903 yari has +video call camera +more dedicated to games +cheaper -less camera quality -C903 has better flash -C903 is more solid built n made with better materials actually i have a Yari and my brother has a C903 :D but i love my yari, its more fun

  • Well then after all Yari has software problems ,do know about any other problems?

  • I mean 12 years changing few phones... :p :p

  • After more then a week doing observation it seem Yari will gonna my choice compared c903. My first phone was Ericsson 788e (http://www.gsmarena.com/ericsson_gf_788e-110.ph­p) back in 1997 at high school. Then change to Nokia (8800 or 9000 -forgot the model number, twice change nokia already) and change to Siemens SL-45 (1st release MP3 phone). Then when Sony merge with Ericsson I own T68i (1st phone with 256color), then I brought K750i for me and after my wife Nokia 6600 lost, I brought second K750i for her. K750i it still the best phone ever until now I still use it and my wife now. And my second phone last year at 2009 was c905. Then I planning to buy Yari for my wife replacement K750i, somehow my K750i already the joystick retired and I will modified with my wife K750i take the best part and merge it to working single piece K750i and I will still continue using K750i (as voice) and with C905 (as camera & data & modem wireless). Until now I used SE, I still keep my T68i with 2 model attach camera my cabinet but unable to use it. Hopefully Yari will be the best gift for my wife. After own few phones in 20years I will not buying something expensive anymore change phone often if not worth for. Something worth it everyday use and you will depend it on it. So Yari will be next one. I hope i'm not confuse with c903. I like cybershot :)

  • i have bought my yari since 2nd January. Few days before, got software problem. i cant turn on the bluetooth in the settings, but i can send things through bluetooth. i got it back from repair this afternoon, they say the software version nt that good, so they helped me updated the latest one. and got 2 free games which is hamster hustle and snowboard rush which is motion game. they are quite fun. there is no problem and any lags after getting it repaired... i still like it very much

  • dude sony is best at all. i have 5800xm but not i think that i have burnt my money

  • C902 better than c903....cuz c903 NO secondary camera...

  • yari have secondary camera !!!( i think i tell is several time already ) if you want to compare camera quality pls do it on computer yari software have defect i think which make the photo look blur and suck , but once you zoom in , you will find that the photo is not blur at all it look clear! software problem, not camera problem

  • I currently have a nokia 5310 xpress music but im thinkig 'bout getting a Yari like really soon. should i go for it or would i be wasting my money?

  • ok peaple YOU CANNOT COMPARE THIS TO C903 cuz the c903 has a waaaaaaay better camera my nokia 5610i's 3.2mp is better than tha yari's 5mp but the yari is cheaper n more fun if you dont care for the camera performance go for it!!!

  • plz upload the review of ds fone.......!!

  • Thank you dude for replaying ,you RoCk!

  • For Yari user already using it please comment about secondary camera on the front. Is it really secondary camera? Yeah please comment we want to know about this phone before we buy...

  • perhaps no one had found a software problem so it's better you buy and you will know if this phone had a software problem or not :)

  • C'mon guys someone gatta know ,for GOD sake this is the third time I ask. DOES YARI HAVE ANY SOFTWARE PROBLEMS? like not able to turn it on any more? PLEASE answer!

  • Starting from the c510 existing facebook apps. So the product before c510 all products of SE NO facebook apps. Just look at the list of the last sony product except that its cheap

  • sony ericsson has arranged everything so that products can be sold evenly. so choose what works for you

  • Does the Sony Ericsson Yari type hard? Like is the buttons of the phone crappy??

  • does this phone have any software problems?

  • I don't think there is secondary camera on front of this phone... :( I look has but is not, same with my c905. It look like a dot circle next to speaker but is not. Secondary camera is demanding but why SE never made it.. :(

  • 3.5 mm Audio Jack is not available in this phone. Its the same old Pop-Port. But the speakers are too good. Good crisp music. I have used this phone and iam going to buy one soon. This phone rocks..

  • Hi guys, can help compression Yari & C903 for applications? I play around with Yari but never with c903 it seem Yari has: facebook, youtube, google map, more games But I don't know about c903 if any facebook or not, c903 only have TVout which Yari doesn't have.

  • Does this phone has 3.5 mm audio jack?

  • Singapore: Yari: S$378-S$398 C903: S$428-S$438 January 13, 2010

  • Hi guys, It seem Yari have good comparison with C903 in term of pricing. In hardware it seem Yari doesn't have lens cover, image&video stabilizer, internal memory comparing with C903. And flash light it seem c903 much batter. And Yari using microSD and C903 using microMS. On software side it seem only BestPic and smile shutter take big difference. Other feature I not much care about it. As long there is GPS, google map and email. It seem these two model all most identical and for Yari much cheaper then c903. Other much same such: GPS, geo-tag, email, bluetooth, accelerometer sensor, 5MP camera. Is it true Yari has front camera and build stereo speaker? Which C903 doesn't have this? Please correct me if i'm wrong, if someone about about this model please give opinions!!

  • Bought it a while ago. It has a nice clean interface, is quite fast has good sound for listening to music. But i am dissapointed with it's camera. It just don't take good pictures, especially in dark areas. I had a Nokia 6220 Classic before and it took quite better pictures. So if you are looking for a phone to take pictures with i suggest you buy something else. Otherwise it is a good phone.

  • yari have VGA video recording with 24fps frame rate i try few time and its true !! camera is not as good ~~ the option available is kinda little , it doesn't even let you choose if your image going to keep in memory card or phone memory !

  • what about its sound and???????????

  • really??? there is secondary camera on front?? this SE Yari comparing with C903 it seem much batter this one except the lens cover only?? and much more cheaper then c903..?!?

  • it,s so amazing

  • This is the most awesome phone i have ever owned especially sony ericsson the brilliant thing is this phone does not M2 cards but supports SD rather which means no need to purchase a M2 card, also the funtionality out does various other brands on the market and is alot more user friendly than previous Sony Ericsson overall Good Phone

  • @santos - If your budget is around 15K INR..then i wud advice you to go for yari...the ans for your questions are:- Yes, keypad is good. Dont go by the keypads of dummy yari mobile. gprs is good but not as good as W995, but still can be quite useful No, W705 is not better than yari in any way. Only advantage in w705 is the presence of wi-fi. Gesture gaming is pretty cool, but you will get bored after couple of weeks. Hope this ans your questions. Lemme know if you need more help.

  • I got Entertainment Passport when I bought Yari. Passport has PIN to download movies and music. All entertainment is provided by Sony Pictures and Sony Music.

  • I bought Yari yesterday about USD.260. Great phone. Music player is awesome. I changed the headset with my Clear Audio Headset and the result is 'wow'! Mega Bass works great. It has bigger album art and the new style is very attractive. Stereo speaker is loud and clear. Facebook and You Tube run fast. Facebook online on stanby mode. Camera has Smile Detection but the flash is a little bit dissapointed. One of the New Entertainmet Phone' by Sony Ericsson.

  • excuse me, I would like to ask about the keypad of Yari... I've tried the dummy of yari but I felt it was so hard to press... not so comfortable... especially the D-pad... it was so hard... how about the real yari??? is it hard also???

  • only yari does have motion game?

  • i really lyk the design of thisx fown... the red one.

  • GSMArena Please could you do a full blown review on this? I've been waiting for so long for your review. You've done reviews on newer phones but why not this? This phone is so influential to the mid range market. Please do a review on this!

  • Yari is a nice phone. It supports Indian fonts. GPS Accuracy is 3 metres. Great phone.

  • costs 14k in calcutta as of today.. wanted to kno how much the c901 costs.. ?

  • OK guys...i got my yari few weeks ago n im gonna share my experience wid u. 1st of all..The gesture gaming feature is good but not up to d mark,bt music is just awesome!!! The GPS might not be as good as W995, but usefull nevertheless. Camera can be quite tricky- some pics r jst outstanding wereas some mite be dull. Screen quality is gr8 along with its UI.So according to me its the best in d mid-range category. Now for those who have alredy bought it, theres n issue with themes. The Yari themes might not be compatible with your C905, C510 etc. Yari uses version 4.9 while the other are 4.8 compatible. Some of the difference between v4.8 and v4.9 are the new Activity Menu Small, Events images and Application Background images. The themes for w705 dint work in my cell coz it uses v4.8 wereas yari uses v4.9. you can download themes 4yari from Hope it was useful, cheers...Yari rocks!!!!

  • hey can anyone tell me how to use youtube in YARI......i m unable to watch video on YARI........

  • oooh :( thanks for responding

  • Dear Friends, I recently purchased Yari for my Dad. I already own W995i. My Question is about using GPS. I don't think Yari GPS is as Good as W995i has ( Though the accuracy is really good ). i have latest firmware R1BA049 installed. In w995i; there is "Status Info" Menu which tells about current speed, Lat/Long. and most importantly Satellite position which is absent in Yari. If i switch off Yari and restart it then i find that GPS receiver starts to get all the data in a cold start manner. It takes a lot of time. I believe all the logs gets deleted when you switch off the phone or change the SIM card. If there is a satellite connection kind of software included i would know what's going on. If you are using AGPS then try to disable it. After it acquire signals. Restart it and see how much time it is taking to calculate the position. It behaves like a cold start in every restart. Is the same thing happening with you ? Do you have Status Info software which can be installed in phone to know about the connection status ?

  • i thought yari no wlan how come can go facebook and youtube..?

  • Yari is one of the best SE phones i have ever used, reminds me of the glorious W550, super speaker sound, awesome call clarity, engrossing gaming and added sensors. the sliding is as reassuring as the swirl of W550. but the camera is tricky, some outdoor shots can put a digital camera to shame, but other shots are just good for deleting.

  • What makes the Yari unique? What makes so special?

  • its loud in loudspeaker ?

  • you can buy yari from hot spot showrooms @13650

  • the sony ericsson yari is quite a nice phone with loads of features. i haven't got this phone yet but in getting it next month. all i have read uptill now says that the yari has mainly got gaming features. other features are there, like the 5 mp camara, walkman player etc. Yari is avalible is 2 colours- black with touches of white and white with tou ches of cranberry colour. Teenagers will probably like this pfone like i do because of its hoards of features. I do not know about its internal memory, but i do know that it can be expanded up till 16 gb. now thats a lot of space! this phone also supports gesture and motion gaming. I suggest if you are wanting to buy a nice phone with loads of features and an awesome design, visit a store that keeps a variety of mobiles of different brands. And if you want only sony ericsson visit a specific store made specially for sony ericsson mobiles. I can promise you that sitting on the net searching for a mobile is no good. You'll not get to know any of its features. Instead go to a store and you'll get better advice. happy searching! =D
