^I've got the black and orange one. Yeah it is. I've got one. I think it's a good phone all round really. Sometimes when I put mine down on my desk for example, it switches off. I thought mine was poss faulty, but a mate at work has one and his does it too. Walkman on it is particularly good and battery etc seems to be really good too. Nice clear screen, just don't be too cack-handed with the buttons. Got mine on free early upgrade so I can't complain.

Would highly recommend

hopefully if i get one now all the little faults with the early models will all be sorted out now.

ive got one of these in black and orange, id highly recommend it as a good allrounder. never had any faults with it either.

Ive got the Silver one and my mums got the Orange one. Prefer mine tbh. Neither of us have had any problems with it but the person behind counter at my bank the other day saw mine and asked if I had had any problems with it as hers keeps turning off..

Same here, good phone but keeps switching off. Turn 3g off, and the battery lasts 2x as long.

 

[NOT! gary l]

Never had any problems with mine at all, probably the only SE phone that hasnt had any problems, i keep going back as i like the features and easy to use menu.

Cant comment on the 3g thing as ive never used it, thats just a fancy gimmick to me.

I like mine and it hasn't had any problems so far (touch wood). tbh if you're not bothered about the slimness of it I would go for the W810i. I had that previously and it is the same phone except for 3G but the camera is better as it has a flash and autofocus feature, and the memory card in the W810i is a decent memory where as in the W880 its a micro SD which wont plug directly into a lot of computers etc.

I've had one for three months. It was switching itself off, so took it back. It's a problem with the firmware. They just sent it off to be updated.

Seems fine now. Apart from that, it just takes a while to get used to the buttons.

Black/Orange is the way forward.

:approve:

Stupid tiny buttons that cause you to spend like 10 mins typing a short message

My mates got one, quite a neat little phone - makes my nokia n73 look like a house brick !

i got mine the day they came out.
awesome phone ! no problems whatsoever and built like a rock.

only 2 days ago i dropped it down my stairs (2 flights of spiral solid wood staircase) and the phone was perfectly fine and the person on the other end was still there lol. and ive also dropped it in water and hasnt had a problem since. so they built extremely well, considering my last nokia broke after i dropped it onto the carpet.
