With its ordinary cell-phone design (some say it looks like the K530i), the G900 meets a bunch of criteria that put it in the line of Sony Ericsson’s smartphones. It seems that the simple design, which is uncommon for smartphones of the company, was meant to attract people who are interested to use the G900 foremost as a normal phone, yet they still want to have the option to use full smartphone features. So in simple words, the G900 wasn’t made for experts, but for first smartphone users and average users.
You can always make a video call by using secondary built-in camera located just above the screen. The main camera is a 5 Mpx one; the lens is traditionally located at the upper side of the back panel. Unfortunately, the reflex of the camera seems to be a bit slow. There’s also a flash above it that can also be used as a flashlight. The simplicity of the software will allow users to easily perform most of the phone functions without using the stylus. But if you are still insisted to use stylus, you can freely use it as you like. The touchscreen will make it easier for you to navigate thorough the menu and all the important applications will be linked from the shortcut bar at the bottom for fast and easy access.
The standard features of the UIQ platform are still in the phone; you can, for example, access the connection and other settings by clicking the small indicators at the top of the screen with your stylus and so on. However, the new version of the platform has some downsides as well. First of all is the simplified Task Manager, which doesn’t let the user do much about the applications besides terminating them, and above all, doesn’t have the quick “go to desktop” option. To go to the standby mode now you will have to go deeper into the menus and perform way more clicks to achieve the same result.
The phone has fully featured multimedia player similar to that of Walkman models (like W950 or W960, for example) which has a separate menu choice all for itself – a good choice because you won’t have to search deep in the menus to find it. The blocking button deserves a praise as well; you will be able to use it no matter what application you are using or what menu you are in.
