Well get a w800i but I'll tell you right now K750i is not any less a phone...

The flight mode is enough of a difference for me to choose w800i

It looks great too... (i Like it) [addsig]

K750i for me, no need to even think about it. The W800i is a gimmick due to the advertising of the walkman.

The W800i was only released as a walkman phone due to the massive success of the K750i, also I think personally that the K750i looks so much more elegant than the W800i

But if you want the flight mode, which I did do, get the W800i. Or do as I did and flash your K750i into a W800i firmware for the best of both worlds!!

K750i for life!! [addsig]

I think i would get fed up of the colours of the w800 after a bit and the good thing is with the k750 is the firmware upgrade, by the way how do you do that? pro or diy?

firmware upgrade, this can be done yourself at home using the official website and their program called SEUS, or you can take it to a service centre if there is any near you, I would recommend letting someone who knows what they are doing do the first one for you. But you have no need to update yet though, as your phone will most likely have the newest level of firmware on it anyway

Not going wrong with either phone. W800i for me though.

www.zedge.no
www.getjar.com
www.mobile9.com
www.myK750.lasyk.net

and look around the forums of estato along with those sites for private links within which you will find a few gems to suit your tastes in themes/games/ringtones/applications for the best price .. free! ..

the w800 is £50 more and comes with 512 megs rather than 64, and average price for 512 is about 50 probs, so its wirth it just.
