Sony Ericsson W800 - user opinions and reviews

Purchased the Sony W800i from a USA Sony Dealer--USA model.
I experienced these problems:
> Every 12 hrs., and/or when the SIM card is removed, the phone displays a page that says that the SMS services must be configured.
* I called to Sony Tech Sup. They said it should not do this--as SMS does not require config. and all that is required is the service #.
> Keeps disconnecting from the Sony HBH-300 Bluetooth Headset. (USA Model)
> Phone shows connection to Sony Bluetooth Headset--but the call does not come through to headset all the time.
> When sound is transfered from Sony Headset to Handset and then back, the sound is then like in a tunnel.
> Will not work with Motorola Headset 850.
! The Tech. Rep.--at Sony--said that not all Sony W800i phones will have the same firmware--and that only the ones sold directly from Sony are correct. OMG!
He said to return it, and get one directly from Sony. Well, I did purchase it from a company that allows 30 day risk free trial with not fee.
Good News:
SonyStyle Tech. Sup. answered on the second ring--and were very polite.

which one is better? NOKIA or SE (or samsung or motorola)? it doesnt matter. if the product is good just buy it. cant understand these ppl, keep on bashing about SE W800 like it is a sin not to own nokia. i've never own a nokia phone. not becoz i hv any qualm with the brand, it just that i couldnt find model that struck my cornea and spike up my testorone level (3230 is quite enticing but...not convince with the stability) maybe someday i would...
...gonna paint KL city white n orange...

SE users.
SE users, it is no shame to not be able to afford a Nokia phone. Even though the SE phones are "low cost" phones compared to Nokia, they are very good. In my experience people who want high end phones but can`t afford Nokia tend to buy SE. SE will always be a step behind Nokia. The reason SE phones are costs much less is because they are not as good as Nokia phones. Do you realy think you can compare a 500 dollar phone to a 1000 dollar phone??? Grow up.

The N90 is better than the Sony Ericsson W800i. It may have a worse camera(still good though) & not as good at playing MP3's. But the fact is it is better at everything else. First of all Sony Ericsson supporter it's a smartphone. This already makes it BETTER! It has a brillint screen compared to the standard & smaller screen on the W800i. The video editing appliction is also far more powerful in terms of tools & options available. The video resolution destoys the W800i's measily 176x144 resolution. The phone is also very well put together. People say that the phone is big, chunky & heavy but I have one & have never found any problems with it. When folded up it is about the same size as a Nokia 6680, so this is fine for me. Lot's of people will buy a W800i as their won't be that many people who can afford an N90 so this is also an advantage of having the N90. The phone also stands out more. The only reason your complaining is because you can't afford it.

The W800i does not work as a Symbian phone. I suggest if you want a good camera phone and Symbian OS you should go for the Nokia N90.

Furqan... yes you can change the theme in the w800. If you want to download themes go to www.myw800.com you will find more interesting theme than the original sony ericsson's theme. I would think that w800 is better than 7610, depends wat you are looking for. If you are asking for camera and mp3 players, this phone definitely better than 7610.

Glen Cove:
There is always something better...so what your point?
Zhongy:
No. If you want to change a phone--get a P910i, Treo 650 etc.
Gunnar:
Yes, it's a "brick." But that's not always a bad thing. Maybe the D500 is a better design--but then everyone is paranoid of the slide braking; and, flip phones break easier. So, pick your posion.
SE Supporter:
I've own the W800i, and tried the K750i. There are obviious differences; put them side-by-side and compare--please, before misleading people.
kenneth:
Be careful--be very careful. Is it a US model and/or that has a warranty in the US? The first US models were/are only offered by SonyStyle; so, my guess is a less expensive W800 is an import from someone that did not expect such a quick release in the US. However, I'm just speculating.

I`m sure the W800 is a ok phone, but the design is not good at all. Brick alert.
