(More customer reviews)If you are spending nearly $500 for a phone then you should be getting the best. If you are business oriented and need a smart phone, then get something from Nokia.
But if you are looking for an entertainment unit, then my friends this is a no brainer.
I used to own the k750i and sold it to purchase this. The k750i and the w800i are the EXACT same phones except for cosmetic changes, a huge memory stick for the w800i, and brilliant headphones that come with this.
The reason I sold my k750i was that I was having constant issues with the software. It kept shutting down and gave me headaches because of it. It also had an unfortunately flimsy case. Most k750i sets have squeaking issues. So I got the w800i and man it is sweet. The case feels solid and sturdy. It actually feels like a $500 phone. Aside from that, I just love the Walkman brand. (I know how stupid that sounds)
Pros:
1. It has half a gig of memory for your music and sports the walkman brand -- nostalgia city for 25 year olds like myself. Plus the headphones are sweet as sin. They even come with three separate ear bud sizes. And when you put them on, without even turning on the music you can hear your heart beat... yes they are that snug. Plus they are extremely easy to put around your neck with the attachment that comes with them. The equalizer is also quite good, and with mega bass on, there is nothing short of an ipod that rivals this.
2. Like the k750i, java games of all sorts for this set can be found on the net, though download with care in case something corrupts your software. You are better off downloading games made for/or by well known brands. [...]
3. Superb camera and outstanding FM radio reception. The camera is different only cosmetically to the k750i, in that the shutter in this is handled via switch while in the k750i it is opened/closed by hand. I actually prefer the camera shutter system in the w800i.
Semi Con:
When turned off, I definitely think that the k750i looks sexier than the w800i. It has a beautiful black/silver look etc. The w800i looks odd when turned off, since it is basically white with orange colors. However when the w800i is turned on, there is NO competition. The orange screen and the orange back light go deliciously well with the case and it looks quite brilliant.
Bottom line is that this phone rocks!
EDIT:
I just wanted to add a couple more comments. Firstly I still haven't had any of the issues I had had with the k750i. I also wanted to note that taking pictures has been faster with this phone. It could very well be because the k750i had come with older firmware (which can be updated from the official website though can be risky if you don't know what you are doing).
But whatever the reason may be, every time I took a photo with the k750i I had to wait a few more seconds for it to be processed than I have had to with the w800i.
One last advantage I have noticed is that with the w800i, the music library is superbly organized. Whenever I hit the 'walkman' button, I am quickly taken to a screen where music is organized by, "Artists", "Tracks", "Playlists", and "Videos".
