its very exciting for having sony ericsson w830. i'm a university student, and i have to take some trips out and come to several cities. and something that makes me comfortable is hearing music from w830. i think, choosing w830 is the best choice to me, because i love music. once more, thanks to sony ericsson with highly technology....

Well this phone has HSCSD and W850 doesn't. As i understood, HSCSD is another network which enables u to transfer data at high speeds, kindof like 3G or EDGE. The W830 has both EDGE and HSCSD so now i'm asking, do those networks go hand in hand? and since the W850 has no EDGE or HSCSD, does that make its capabilities to transfer data at dependent on 3G alone? Finally, since the W830 have both EDGE and HSCSD, and the W850 has only EDGE, does that make the SE W830 better than the SE W850?

I'm also curious about the speakers, which one has the louder speaker? or are they the same.

to Alex: The W830 has no 3G (so you can't make video calls) but it does have edge. The W850 does have 3G and a front camera for video calls but it does not have edge. apart from that they are the same
