For software which for reflashing the firmware, i don't have it, and i don't think it can be downloadable, besides, it may need special hardware to work with the software.

today's price is $1180HK($118eu)

In any case, I was wondering whether I need any software if I wanted to get songs from my pc to the phone...And, if anyone knows where to buy a case for the phone. I can't seem to find it on the internet, but obviously if someone knew, please let me know...Perhaps the case for an A168 could work for my W668?


Thanks everyone

I bought it for about $1280HK($165us/$128eu) in Nov. 06.

For this price, its quality is excellent, it comes with all functions you need, BT with A2DP, a decent 5 point auto-focus camera, MP3, Radio.

The photo quality is quite good indeed, i must admit it is not as good as SE K800i or Sharp 903, but, its performance outcast many branded mobile phones. A168's camera is a 2.0MP CMOS camera, and with the help of the software, it can take photos in 3.2MP. It's macro performance is the best I ever seen in mobile phones, it's even better than my wife's K800i. However, the flash is very poor, even worser than a candle, so, don't expect to take any photo in complete darkness.

like other brands, it may have some bugs, such as the touch screen may sometimes have no response when you set the screensaver with a gif image, and some users said they have a serious problem causing the phone into a looping status after sending files via BT to other phones and need to take it to repair. I'm lucky enough that i never encounter this serious problem. (Firmware can be upgraded by sending the phone to service centers.)

I'm quite satisfy with this phone, since it gives me all the functions I needed, such as radio, MP3, a very good snapshot camera, BT file exchange. i will say it's a very good phone for its price, however, if you require your phone to do more (but, i think your budget should increase too!!), you may have to re-consider.

Here are some drawbacks you may like to know:
- JAVA is poor, it only have 2MB for JAVA, so, you may not install much applications/games into your phone. And it's slow too, don't expect to play 3D games on it.
- For some strange reasons, I can't get my sent SMS message found in the "Sent" folder, so I can't keep track what I sent, and whom I sent. (I don't know if others have the same problem, or it's becoz of my old SIM card)
- It didn't come with any synchronization software, so, you may need to download 3rd party software to manage the phone book if you need to synchronize it with your PC.
- The to-do list cannot sync with PC, and it only have 10 to-do items for you to add.
- It didn't have any e-mail function, and its built-in browser is crap. (BTW, I installed JAVA opera mini to solve the problem.)
- There are 3 themes available, however, they are boring, just changing the color tones, and cannot add your own theme. (You can't ask more for such pricing, right??)
- It didn't have digital zoom except you're shooting in 320x240 mode.

I've been using a lots of branded phone, and I used to be a journalist on PDA/Phone field in the past, and I would recommend this phone if you're using it for fun than for business usage. It's quality is good for its price.

Feel free to ask if I have anything missing... or you would like to know more about it.
