bought this phone a few weeks ago. everything about this phone is so far so good to me except for a couple of things. first, the keys on the phone are fairly small and sometimes i'll need to press the key repetitively in order to key in what i want. second, because i'm using windows vista hence i'm not able to upload any songs into the walkman because SE doesn't have a version for vista users yet. and third would be the memory can only hold up to a 1gb M2. but besides these couple of minor problems the phone is overall very good. i have never used a SE phone before and this one is my first, i would rate the design 7, features 8, and performance 8.5

Does anyone know if we could use an mp3 file saved on the memory card as a ringtone? or do we have to move it to the phone's built-in memory first?

vj,
Both w610i and w850i are great phones. Music playback capability for both the phones are same. I think these tips will help u to chose one.
the network-> which network u are using now? 3G or GSM? W850 is a 3G phone and w610i is quad band GSM phone

Capacity-> w850 comes with a 1 gb pro duo card and w610i comes with a 512 mb MS micro card (price of 1 gb pro duo card is almost same as price of a 512 mb MS Micro card)

Price -> w850i around 19K, w610 around 15k

camera -> w850 don't hav auto focus, but w610 does

If ur problem was just the music playback capabilities of the phones.. i think both hav same.

yes i agree that w610i ain't a gud upgrade from w810i.

But when w810i launched the price was around 21k and became the best mid range phone of the time. Now w610i comes to do the job what w810 did earlier but with a less price tag of 15k.

The price reduction justifies the 'BAD' changes that w610 has. But i think the +ves are much adorable that the '-ves.
A2DP, Walkman Player v2.0, More audio and video file type support, multitasking, and the lower price tag... it's a gud buy!!!

SE are so going downhill. What's this improving over the w810i?

Ok it's got a new UI (which doesn't really add anything new at all, mind album art). Worse camera, keys are a JOKE and TFD SCREEN?!

SE stop and think please

ps. I have a w810i and have used a w610i for about a week.

to unknown,,,you ask if this is good upgrade to w800 as when it first came out its was a marvel,,,,,i suppose all you are getting if you upgrade to w610i is its thinner and you get walkman 2.0 software which has album art,, hpm 70 headfones,, 512mb card,, and its seems really fast and is multitasking but cannot remember if my k750i did multitasking or not.i would say if your readt for a new fone then this would be the logical upgrade or k550i but if your fone ok then keep your money
