Sony Ericsson W880 review: No catch, plain thin
Sony Ericsson W880 is the newest addition to the Sony Ericsson Walkman line. Nothing uncommon here, we’ve seen lots of those. The most unusual thing about it though is its form factor – an ultra slim bar-shaped handset with plenty of cool features to offer. Take 3G network support, add a 2 megapixel camera, spice it up with a M2 memory card slot and Bluetooth and finally put it all in the slimmest shell possible and you will get a great result – the Sony Ericsson W880.

I've had a W880 since July, the batteries ruined, lasts a day if I'm lucky without any phone calls, just a few texts. The speaker is tinny and sounds terrible. The screen is really susceptible to scratches, and the camera is rubbish, my K750 was loads better. It has a couple of issues with software crashes and not ringing sometimes too.
Saying all that, I love the way it looks, I find the keypad really good for texting (but I do have small hands), and everyone else I know thinks it's great (but then they don't have to live with it!).

For me when it comes to camera(no autofocus types),both are good in crisp images but the W880i lacks of LED flash unlike W850i still the images are the same but there no flash for the W880i when you want to use it in the dark.
W850i=====>radio,2.0 Walkman player,Track ID recognition,LED flash,has a infrared,kinda bulky but its size is normal to sliders,Less expensive than a W880i,1GB pro duo,both are loud,larger tft screen.
W880i=====>no radio,2.0 Walkman Player,Track ID recognition,Slim design,doesn't have a flash,it has no infrared.more expensive than W850i.1gb pro duo.Both are loud.smaller tft screen.
i hope this may help you.
W610i and W810i have minor differences so there's no problem with that,rather than design and size. this review is just my opinion.

Its true, the keypad very small and it is very uncomfortable for me. Overall it is a good phone, but what are they thinking about the small keypad. Very weak point of W880 and the other same SE trend design.

Ok I have both the W850i and W880i
while both phones are great - in truth i have not used the radio before...
The led flash is a let down on the w880i however when i take photos with the w850i its quite grainy and most of the time i get red eye in images. Best to use the night mode when taking photos and also with the flash attachment which you buy separately. I guess if you really wanted to take pictures go for the k series.
The speaker on the 880 as mentioned in the review is not as great as the 850. The walkman mode is fantastic after listening for 3 hrs constantly it uses minimal batt life
W850i
Good - Batt life, walkman mode, os is great and easy to use lots of flexibility, speaker phone is loud and quite crisp, sleek slider design, number pad great for games, the top left + right buttons for the camera gallery.
Bad - the navigation buttons was wierd at first, the camera can get dust caught at the back, the walkman button is sometimes pressed by accident when i slide open the phone.
W880i
Good - Batt life, walkman mode, os is great and easy to use lots of flexibility, buttons are easy to use, sexy slim with a touch of class
Bad - slim means heating problems however after 40 min on the phone it was a touch warm - better than expected
buttons might be a bit small for ppl with large hands
Note: there are alot of similarities with both phones
In conclusion both phones are great i recommend them for anyone who listens to music - but both suit different needs
I hope this helps ppl that are interested in these phones
