It has been on the market since this Monday: The new touch-and-go UIQ3 smart phone G900, a powerful package of WLAN, 5MP camera with Auto- & Touch-Focus as well as a photo light and a 2.4″ touch screen combined with a regular keypad to bring UIQ to the mass market.
The G900 you can see here is my little precious since Tuesday and it does great so far. The Dark Brown colour really suites it well. The QVGA display is bright and clear and a breeze to handle. I won’t give that much away for now as we’ll post an in-depth review of the G900, once Sony Ericsson sends us the review phone.
I’ll leave you with impressions of the new menu icons, the media menu and the new panels standby.
The G900 is available nearly everywhere now, pricing is set around £275 / 350 € / $525.
Hi xell, nice handset, planning on getting one myself.
Can you please tell me what’s the name of the theme/skin in the photos here showing the menu ?
It looks awesome way better than the standard G900 theme.

Hi Christi, it’s called “UIQ Wave”, you can get it here: http://www.uiq.com/my-uiq/theme/uiq-wave/

Thanks, nice skins over the uiq page.
Since you have the phone i’ll ask you some questions as i have found different opinions over the net regarding G900’s certain functions.
- The main thing i’m concerned is the main menu. It’s kind of a waste of space of having only 3×3 icons. I would have preferred 3cols x 4rows or more shown (as at normal SE s). I have seen from SE’s simulation
http://www.sonyericsson.com/trythephone/g900/
that there is an option to create a folder in the main menu.
Can you tell me if i can move other applications from different menus in my own folders and if i can personalize my folder’s icons ? (something like taking the Games and putting them in Games folder or Office folder containing the Office app and PDF+ and such)
Also is it possible to change the icons positions or are they fixed in position ?
- Another thing that i like about SE is the big clock in the stand-by menu. I understand that this is not the case for G900 as it has Symbian w+ UIQ and not the A200 OS. I have found a similar app Clockss:
http://www.saxoft.com/get.php?page=clockss maybe you’ll find it usefull,
but it isn’t quite as the original SE. Just wanted to ask you if the original SE clock is on G900 also?
- the same question goes for the pictures viewer if it can show more cols x rows of thumbnails images.
- a feature that i like in music phones (walkmans) is SensMe. As i understand the G900 has a special
Walkman installed, touch orientated, similar to the one in W960 but with less features so i found on this
site (http://www.esato.com/board/viewtopic.php?topic=173969 see comments from user strizlo800 I
think) that you can install the W960’s walkman and get more features. Nothing about SensMe though (as i understand W960 doesn’t have it).
But some folks talk that it’s in the latest Sony Ericsson Media Manager (v1.1):
http://www.esato.com/board/viewtopic.php?topic=154972&start=300 and that at least one of them
installed it on a W960 so i think it should work on a G900.
Have you tried it or heard someone to install it ?
- another feature that i wanted to ask about is if it has support for GPS services (the
Location Services from other SE models). I have found a external SE GPS receiver
(Activator GPS HGE-100 Sony Ericsson) and wanted to know if G900 has support for
GPS services or i have to install software packages (like Google Maps or navigation ones).
- And since this has been a long post i’ll finish with another question
How is the camera speed: opening, shoot-to-soot time and quality compared to a Cybershot phone
(either old K’s or new C’s) ?
I have read over the net that it is somewhat slow and picture quality is a bit lower than a Cybershot
but that a software upgrade to the latest firmware will make it work a lot faster (nothing for quality).

No, it doesn’t have a gps receiver by default ! But you can install Google Earth and hereby get your coordinates, but it is not very accurate (it said I was standing in the harbour). Have in mind, this service will be billed by your provider (phone/gsm/gprs/3), so it is not free!
