ok so i have the w800i after swapping it for the k750i and to be honest i am slightly unsure of which fone i liked the best both looks wise and functionality. i think because the two looks are so completelydifferent it is hard to make up my mind. but i am really unsure about the keypad on the w800i but that aint too important.
what i really miss is the new events and shortcut menu i think this should be implemented on the w800i in future firmwares if possible because it was usefull and you can always use the dedicated music button on the side to go straight to walkman mode.
I am also really dissapointed at the volume of negative feedback i have read on the w800i on this site. as aside from looks(which is personal opinion) the only question people should be asking is if the w800i is a better fone than the k750i as it cant possibly be a worse fone as some people seem to be trying to apply. to be honest i think some people may be jealous as the got the k750 wuthout waiting for the w800 and are making excuses not to regret it. |

I cant really make up my mind as to how to react to the above.
I really dont understand what you are trying to say.
First off I dont see any volumes of negative feedback anywhere on the W800, and especially not any negative feedback from K750 owners in regards to W800 as an excuse for not waiting for the W800.
Where do you get that from ?
Why would anyone try to excuse themeselves for having a K750 instead of a W800, the phones are technically identical. I dont see why someone should be jealous of neither the W800 or the K750 if they got one of those themeselves, the phones are the same apart from design, which is purely up to individual preferences and a few differences in firmwarefeatures. Both missing something the other has.
None is better than the other, or worse than the other.
I also do not understand what you mean saying that it cant possibly be worse ? The K750 is a great phone with very few issues, just as the W800 so what do you mean it cant get worse, and if you feel so negative about the K750 that it cannot get worse, then whats the point of getting an identical W800 just with different design ? Do you have some silly idea that the W800 is a better phone ? and that everyone else feels the same and thus are jealous because they only have a K750 as if it should be inferior in any way ? You do know they are technically identical I hope ?
I think your post is confusing and selfcontradicting, and I dont understand what point you are trying to make. ?
Personally I got the K750, because thats the one I prefer, not because I could not wait for W800. If I wanted a W800 I could just get one of those also. But it doesnt offer me anything that K750 doesnt, and I prefer the design of the K750 over the W800.
But that doesnt make neither one better or worse than the other, and its certainly not an excuse, Its just my descision based on my preferences. Nothing else.

I much prefer the keypad on the w800i to the k750i, i also think the build quality is better than the k750i.
I was expecting loads of grief from my friends about the colour of the w800i but so far everyone of them has like it  2 have even made orders for a w800i on upgrades.
Overall i like the phone,it could still do with better volume and sound quality on ringtones and for a walkman phone a better headset wouldn't be to much to ask for.
Both the w800i and k750i are great phones , enjoy!

i have both and really can't point any major differences! (apart from walkman mode and 512 card) overall brilliant phones just down to preference in casings for potential buyers of either phone. (me personally i like the w800 but when i go on meetings i take the k750).

what i meant to say was that the phone cant be any worse because of the fact that they are the exact same phones with same hardware. i wasnt trying to say the k750i was that bad that it couldnt get any worse as i said at the start of the post i am unsure which fone i like better. and as for the negative comments on esato trust me they are there if you look. and the whole jealous comment was basically that i think alot of people will regret getting the k750i when they discover the w800i. and to say that it is impossible to be jealous because they are the same phone is a stupid comment. because although they are the same hardware they are still different phones,with different functions,looks,capabilitiesand accessories. and i know these can all be purchased or flashed onto your k750i or w800i this does come at a cost so i reckon jealosy could arise |

Ok. I seem to have upset a few people with my comments. And am sorry if i did.all i did was say things as i saw them. I think its the "jealous" comment that did it. Anyway by negative comments i was meaning that there was so much positive hype bout the w800 and now its out every1 was saying u should stick to k750 but it was only 1 thread i read so i apologise again.

Or you could buy a W800i and flash it with K750i firmware...

yes but you see. when a new k750 firmware comes out i would have to flash it again, spending more money on flashing credits so in the long run, it would end up costing me more 
also one question. is thread aimed at both owners of k750s and w800s or owners of both k750 and w800s?

no need for apologies, you didnt upset me and you have every right to express whatever opinion you have without having to apologise, I just disagreed slightly and wasnt all clear on what you ment

the way i see it se are just tweaking a phone to appeal to a slightly differnet market.
other makers of phones have been doing this for years so no reason why se should nt go for a slice of the pie.
to me they the same phone with different covers and a tweak to the media player and package
i bet in the real world there will be very little difference in day to day usage
just a way to increase profits nothing wrong with that in my book |
