I bought a SE K790i 2 days back. I couldn’t wait to get hold of it after reading itz mind-blowing reviews. BIIIIIIIGGGGG mistake!


The menu and keys were all new for me as I am used to nokia phones. But what really hurt me was that I felt my previous handset [Nokia 3230] was far better than this new one! I wish I hd bought a N-73 instead….


+ve points




  1. Excellent Camera.




  2. Good music player & radio. I don’t think nokia can beat SE in this dept.




  3. Menu navigation is quick.






-ve points




  1. Call reception is miserable. The speaker is useless. You cant hear the person if you are outside/in a crowded area.




  2. Contacts is all jampacked! It’s a pain to search a user. And therz only a list view for viewing contacts. Unlike in nokia phones where you can view contacts either as list or one at a time.




  3. Cant assign different ringtones for different profiles. Whatz the point in having profiles then???!!!




  4. Cant create new profiles.




  5. Keypad is PATHETIC! Itz like u r hitting on a stone. Messaging has never been such a nightmare before…….




  6. cant save messages to different folders as in nokia phones. In nokia phones, we can create new folders n save messages to those, which helpz us to easily sort n locate messages.




  7. no fast-forward, reverse buttons in music player.




  8. cant install any games/apz other than java (no sis files).




  9. Only digital clock is available. In nokia, we have the choice to set either analogue or digital clock.




  10. in calendar, we need to open a date to check if there is any appointment for that date. In nokia, we get a tooltip kinda text on the top.




  11. wallpapers & contact images are stored absolutely, not relatively. i.e, if I set an image as wallpaper/contact image n later if I remove it from my phone, the settings is lost. In nokia, this doesn’t happen.




  12. you cannot assign a ringtone to a group.


    13. no theme preview






sigh…. K790i disappointz L
