Here's the problem guys. I lost my precious K750 a few days back and I need a replacement soon. A new SE phone of course. Now here are my choices, either I just buy another K750, or any of these other phones: , W810 and the K610. (K800 is very expensive here)

Of course I like the W810. coz its got everything I want in a phone (2 MP cam with autofocus, Music player, and expandable memory) except for 3G, which I really want to have right now. K610 has 3G but lacks autofocus and the LED for night photos and has a loser internal memory.

Now heres the problem, if I take the W810, i'd have to wait a few more months before I can buy it as I still have to save money for it. K610, I can buy within a few weeks time. and I really want to use a good phone I'm currently using my old N6210.)

Here are my questions:
1. do take the K610 now. and if I do, how does the pictures compare to the K750 (if the fixed focus on the K610 will not be considered.)
2. do I wait and get the W810 and use a crappy cell for a few months or
3. Buy another K750.

Thanks guys

Sorry for the double post, Mods, Pls erase the other post Thanks again.

if u dont need a 3g fone, take the w810. i got both, satisfied with them. k610 isnt that bad, but if i dont count the 3g feature, w810 is a bit "better" according the features.

Yep, get the W810. Better in every aspect, apart from 3G and possibly design (but I like K610 better). Camera is far better in the W810 as well.

but if u browse the internet ( and that feature is important for u ), get the k610. w810 is already an advanced one, but the k610 beats it.

k610 is the "light" version of k8 imo. if umts not a must at usage, no need to take it, as i mentioned before.

I think you will need to ask yourself if you really need 3G or not. If you do then get the K610I, it's very slightly smaller then the K750, it's thinner as it doesn't have the camera cover and still play's MP3's and has megabase. The K610I also DOES have expandable internal memory, it uses the M2 format which is much smaller then the duo card's your K750 takes but they are also cheaper to buy and may go up to 32GB in size eventualy.
You can get a flash add on for it that plugs into the bottom if you need it. But the camera doesn't have autofocus so the pictures aren't as good.

W810I photos:

There is also the K618 comming out which is the same as the K610 but with bigger volume buttons and more of an emphasis on music playing:

Weather it's as good as the W810I for music I don't know. Personal choice at the end of the day but if you really need 3G then you have no choice.

@thegreatone k610 is a very simple fone, nice design, but not that much advanced. w810 has the advantage, that it support still the mem stick, its still cheaper then m2. u should give a try for both imo before u make any decision
