snowboy: what specs are you talking about? maybe you've read the specs of w850.... w830 does'nt support video calling 'coz it's not 3G capable...

To the comment above me... if you want a 5 or 10 megapixels cam, then go look for a digicam then. The technology, no doubt will be in the near future, but resolution for digicam pic are far more superior than pics taken by handphones. Cheers!

So you really think that features don't make up the difference against w810?
I ask you this because i am thinking about saving money for this model instead of buying w810. Is the Walkman 2.0 version just makeup or it has some new features?

Like someone said EDGE is basically a different TECHNOLOGY ..
slightly older than 3G
you can only use one of the two ..
PAKISTAN has EDGE providers and NO 3G
so it would only be practical to buy the 830.
untill it was announced i was sad as i couldnt believe how this phone would manage OTA music withut EDGE ... needless to say now i am relieved. but at the same time it means i have to wait even more before i can get my hands on one ... maybe ill buy the D900 meanwhile ..

Just picked up the white model of this phone. It is still labeled a W850 here in Hong Kong and is selling at the insane price of ~500USD. (no tax, thank God)
So far, I love almost every aspect of the phone save for 3:
-A2DP controls are somewhat overrated. My plantronics 590 won't start music back up once I manually stop it.
-Custom ringtones don't get piped through to the A2DP headphones and there is no option to enable it.
-Sliding the phone closed does not end a call, nor is there an option to enable it.

It would be nice to search tracks by genre, but as it stands, you can use the keypad to jump around, which beats the iPod, if you hate scrolling all day long.

Not sure that the premium over the 810 is justified with just A2DP, a bigger screen, and Walkman 2.0. I wonder if I could have gotten stereo music anyway, just without track skip controls? Seems to be the only advantage.

3G stands for third generation. A 3G device means it is compatible with 3G networks and 3G does not mean secondary video call camera. The reason 3G phones have secondary video call cameras is to enable video conferencing, which requires high rate of data transfer capability, which a 3G network and device can provide. But that is not the only function of a 3G phone. 3G provides high data transfer rates and that can be used for any application where high speed is required like surfing the net or downloading to your computer using the phone as a modem, downloading music and videos from websites/wapsites and these functions do not require secondary video call camera, leave alone main camera. An example of such a device is M600.
