Got it already,
Here's my take:
1) Cooler fresher color, eye candy cya, not so stiff unlike the k750i
2) Better quality camera pics, I compared them side by side
3) Mas madali pindutin ang key pads ng k750i
4) Audio Quality via earphones is better, the packaged earphones are probably the best earphones out of a packaged box
As we all know, you can install its firmware into the k750i, but I haven't tested it. So far, imaging wise, sound quality wise, and considering the contents in the package, it is a better buy than the k750i. If you do not dig the flashy orange/white color and want a stringent no nonsense impression, get the k750i.

Can you post sample camera shots of both phones so we can verify this?

Hi,
I did not save the pics but check this out:
http://www.kingmobilephone.co[....]20Ericsson%20W800%20W800i.htm.
Hope this helps:
Probably everybody is asking this question:
Can a w800 replace your MP3 player?
The first Mp3 playable phone was launched 3 years ago and since then all phones that were released which donned the capability shared the same limitations: battery life, audio quality, and memory size.
Having been an Ipod user for 3 years, I ran several tests based on the qualities listed above.
BATTERY LIFE: The phone will play continuous MP3s for a couple of hours, I do not know how long it will go though some claim 6 hours of continuous playing, it is certainly not bad considering early MP3 players lasted a max of 6 hours before requiring a recharge.
AUDIO QUALITY: Testing it VS the IPOD the sound quality is decent, even clearly beating the Ipod depending on some tracks. Sony's patented Mega Bass technology cannot be matched by any of the equalizer settings of the Ipod. The sound is full and rich if you are listening to jazz tracks (Kevyn Lettau for example,) but for rap tracks (Public Enemy) to bass is too much for the earphones. Listening to portable music is best when external music is blocked out and the Mega Bass setting together with the packaged earphones compliment each other to deliver great portable sound. The standard issue SE branded earphones I believe are the best sounding earphones I have used coming straight out of the box.
Plugging the phone into external speakers it does the job though the Ipod can produce a tad bit of volume. In the car also it sounds decent but you have to manually tweak the equalizer to get a more natural sound. Manually changing the equalizer is a function I wished the Ipod had. Although the Ipod has more preset settings, it is easier to manually adjust the EQ according to your taste rather than testing presets.
One factor that establishes the w800 as a decent MP3 player is that MP3s encoded at 128 kbps sound as good as music encoded at 192 kbps on the Ipod. Since storage is limited to 512 mb, the smaller you encode your MP3s the better.
INTERFACE: The w800 allows you to browse through songs via artists but that’s all. Unlike the Ipod where you can toggle genres, ratings, albums, composers. Of course having this function is needed for the Ipod since you have 4000-6000 songs.
FILE TRANSFER: This is where it gets ugly. If you use a card reader and copy songs to the memory card the transfer is swift, the problem is you can toggle your MP3s based on track only. To use the artist function, you need to encode your MP3s using the supplied Disc to Phone software. The phone is connected via USB cable and the Disk to Phone program transfers your music. Problem is, it takes so long to transfer 400 MB worth of songs (14 mins). An Ipod can move a couple of gigs from the song library to your Ipod in a few minutes.
Does the W800 make the grade?
Yes. Enough to go against an Ipod? Yes. If you do not mind having around 300s in your pocket instead of 4000, then the w800 will do. Sound wise it is par if not better to the Ipod. I however use the Ipod (4th gen 40G) as a primary player since I like listening to music based on my mood. It is really handy though, since it beats carrying 2 gadgets at the same time.
Considering the cost of an Ipod mini (14k,) you add around 13k you get a flashy 2 MB cam phone since the w800 costs 27k. Now isn’t that something to think about?
Now is the w800 worth your buy vs. a k750i?
I tested the units side by side (k750i and w800) both have R1L002 firmware and simply put, the pictures on the w800 are a bit better. It has a few differences but flashing your k750 to w800 will make them identical.
The color is load and flashy, not so mush a slick office phone, but it is fresh and great eye candy.
If you do not mind spending a bit more, I'd recommend you but the w800 vs. the k750i.
K750i price: 21,000.
W800 price: 27,000, but with 512 MB card (3600,) great earphones (650) earphone adapter (400) flashy casing (1200) MP3 friend interface (500).
Net net, if you take the entire package of the w800, it is the same if you get a k750i and get all the accessories ,casing, and firmware flash from other sources.

what is the best bitrate (as many as you can squeeze ) and format you can use without sacrificing quality?
Posted by xspach

Posted by kristianm
Thanks, bigmanboy.
I inquired sa SmartGold, and their prices for plan 500:
k750i: Php20.xxK
w800i: Php21.xxK+
I'm disappointed that they raised k750i's price from its P16.5K price last month.
A question:
Ano ba talaga kulay nitong w800? White or yellowish white? Look at the pics here:
http://www.mobile-review.com/review/sonyericsson-w800-en.shtml
On one pic, sobrang puti; on the other ones, yellowish. Does this mean white talaga siya but it has the tendency to go yellowish over time?!

Posted by flaminglips
milky white color i guess... i have it for almost 12 days no stained at all di katulad sa 3650 ko dati na blokia isang lingo plang ung white part naging kulay cream na hehehe
Posted by B.J.
sbi ni bigman boy 400 lng daw ung adapter... san makakabili, nasira na ung D-I-Y ko eh kya la na me napapakinggan ngeun...
Posted by B.J.
just a fact:
theoretical lng ang 300 songs in w800 with 512mb, pero based on actual tests, gamit ko ngeun is only 256 mb, m4a and mp4 na format pa gamit ko, at 64kbps ang bitrate, and may konting reduction na in quality, still i can only do 120 songs, so if i have a 512 mb, i can only have 240 songs.. ang general average ng mga mp4/m4a songs at 64 kbps is 1.833 mb.. do the math na lng.. besides, di rin full 512 mb ang capacity ng mga ganyang cards, expect more than 15mb reduction in actual memory capacity..
Posted by kristianm
Actually, sa press summary nga ng SE for w800, sabi:
"The Sony Ericsson Walkman phone W800 is shipped with a 0.5 GB Memory Stick PRO duo™: capacity for around 125 tracks, or 10 – 12 full length CDs (MP3 files at 128 kilobits/second), which can be expanded up to 2GB."
http://www.dcviews.com/press/Sony-Ericsson-W800.htm
That's about 3.81MB per song.

does anyone here setup the mms and gprs of their w800i, mine doesnt work, per globe they already made the setup prior to sale but not good.
help needed on how to do it....
Posted by poeticnook
@seahaven
i was able to activate mms of my w800i by doing the following steps:
1. send go t610 to 2951
2. save the settings that will be sent to you
3. reply yes to the text message that will be sent to you
4. send an mms message to test the settings
hope this helps.
Posted by seahaven
thanks bro, gprs is working now but mms its communication error, i'll try again later, perhaps it will not work instantly...
do you know some cool sites to download those funny pinoy tones for our w800i? how abouy gifs? i got these really cool gifs more 1megab and its soo cool, just let me know ur email and i can email you or anybody here who wants to sample.
Posted by ibbara
Sweet thanks for the FYI on the settings. Mine works great!
Also on something totally off tangents, there is a W800 scarcity in Greenhills. I recently purchased mine for 24.5k php, but now you'd be lucky to get it for 26k. So get it if you can this is turning out to be an uber popular phone!!!
Posted by seahaven
hey there, i was able to send mms on the same number and it worked fine but when sending to other numbers, its not fine, have you encountered this? strange mind does.
anybody here who can solve this??
Posted by kristianm
1. Does the w800i really make a mechanical sound (low click-like sound within the phone) when its doing an auto-focus? My phone's in silent mode. Is it normal?
2. Anyone knows how to properly setup the MMS settings for this phone? (Smart Addict Mobile)

ako din naghahanap ng hpm-70 (K750i din kasi ang binili ko). Wala pa akong nakikita, mga magkano kaya yon?
Posted by johnpete
I bought my Sandisk 1GB MS Pro Duo for P6,490 in that computer store (PC Corner I think) beside Toby's in GloriettaII 3rd floor. That store also has a branch in Park Square1. It comes with an adapter.
Posted by BratPAQ
i'm curently using HPM-70 with my K750+1gb MS pro duo, and it rocks!!! especially the mega bass, nice when combined with the sound isolation of HPM-70, it ought to give you some bass head ache though. now i'm currently in search of a better earphone to use with HPM-70, i heard that shure and etymotic earphone are the best for HPM-70 but that cost almost half the price of my phone.
they say that HPM-70 earphone is uses EX71SL earphone, is it true? can onyone attest to it?
i think HPM-70 is available na sa singapore for SGD 70.
