I must be one of the lucky ones i have just recieved 4 brand new w800i's today, i rang up vodafone beacuse i hadnt upgraded my phone for 4 years they said i had 4 upgradeds so i chose 4 w800i each phone cost me £20 to upgrade and they gave me the fourth one for free. And the phone is amazing!!!

Cant believe its posible making great phones like this. Sony ericsson is the best phone on the market and will probably continue to do so for a very long time to come. Good Job!!!

i'm thinking of replacing my 2-year old T610 with W800.
There are 2 things i dont like about T610 which hopefully W800 dont have:-
1) when receiving a call, the phone vibrates first for a few seconds before my favorite ringtone can be heard. How i wish the vibration and the ringtone go off simultaneously.
2) ring volume is weak even when its volume is set at maximum. and so does its vibration. always miss a call when i'm walking by a busy street.
so to all proud owner of W800, please tell me if those 2 things i hate about T610 are still exist in your beloved W800.

with the w800i u get the converter which means yes u can use your own headset but with the k750i u dont get it. U have to buy it.

There's a big question that's killin' me. May You use a normal headphones in the w800 to listen mp3? Or you got to use only the SE earphones they include in this phone? Pleez answer if anyone knows because that's another good reason for gettin' a w800. =)

I am still stuck between the W800 and k750i...
The problem is looks as most people do not like the yellowish-white and orange style while I actually like it quite a bit. I am not sure if I will grow out of it and I dont want everyone who sees my phone to go "ewww"

Regards the person asking about o2 not having them in, I work for o2 and we are getting a lot of hassle off customers because of this. We have no control over it, its a great phone and in my shop in Edinburgh, they were all snapped up in 1 day, plus it takes us longer to get them rather than say, the link and phones for u, cos ours would be exclusive 2 our network and the settings need done before they are shipped out

This phone, sounds really good it originally costs £399.99 in the UK without any tariff contratcs. My brother is meant to be getting it for me but i can't wait and am getting impatient. By the way can anyone tell me the difference between W800 and W800i

Q:3- there's NO stop music only Puase
sometimes i need to hear it from the
begening ,i had to go for other track &
come back again .
A:(im sure there is look in the manual, i cant really help you with that because i actually havnt got the phone yet, still waiting)
--------------------------------------->>
Q:4- i can't assign music for my Messeges only
the music they selected .
A:1: MENU - FILE MANAGER - SOUNDS - TONE (scroll to the tone you want) - MORE - USE AS - MESSAGE ALERT
2: MENU - SETTINGS - SOUNDS AND ALERTS - MESSAGE ALERT - scroll to the very last alert then select - REPLACE
----------------------------------------->>
Q: 1- i thought "Walkman" can let me sort my
music by my own ,not by (artists..ect.)
A: Once again i cannot answer this, if u would like to sort music you shoud just be able to create a folders ie "playlist 1 - rock".
----------------------------------------->>
Q: 6- can't use "Mega Bass" without the headset.
A: Do you mean u cannot use mega bass with the headphones SE has supplied you with? If so have you actually tried using a totally different earphones. and actually applied a proper "headset".
*once again i cannot answer these questions accuratly, im based my answers from my k700, hopfully w800 will come in tomorow :D *
& No worries Nawaf, glad i helped :D

Hi all,
W800i has a real good camera and loads of good features...I can definately recommend w800i better than P910i, N90 and K 750i. I have used all the handsets and probably w800i seems to last longer with me than any other handset.

Q: 5- it'll be cool that there's a fast button
for the light to turn ON/OFF easly i had
to go from the menu to turn it ON/OFF .
A: The way i do it, i press the camera function, opens camera, then i press the shortcut button thats (5) Light goes on and Off
Q: 2- there's no function that let you rewind
or forword my track .
A:
Yes there is - when listening to a song hold the joystick to the RIGHT ( this will FastForward ) , To Rewind hold the joystick to the LEFT
Note: these functions were not tried with the W800, this was tried with the K700
(hence im waiting for my arrival of the w800 . this week woo! )

2- there's no function that let you rewind
or forword my track .
3- there's NO stop music only Puase

BUT that doen't make the phone SUX couse beleive me if there's some ppl don't give a damn about the function that i mentioned they'll liked it SOOO MUCH ,I personly like it soo much & i recommend ppl to buy it .

Have had the W800i for almost a week and its even better than expected. Battery life is great and mp3 player is fantastic - now I no longer miss any calls even when I'm listening to music! Only bad point is the white colour (originally thought it was a silvery white) which is a bit plasticky and scratches/gets dirty rather easily
