Ok I've had K608i for awhile now and also use a 5 year old T68i.
As you may understand I want a new one.
But since there are popping up new SE models I dont know which ones.

I would like to have a phone that I can listen do music and that I can use MMR-60 in my car with. And that is compatible with memory stick duo pro and not M2.

m600i
Since lacks the camera that I will not use and it is a smart phone. Problem is that it has the M2 Memory Stick micro and you can right now buy maximum 1 GB.
w950i
It is a walkman phone with 4 GB, but it is kindof expensive right now. But since it lacks w-Lan and UMTS and is to expensive, i dont know if it is worth the money.
w850i
It is a nice phone with the older Memory Stick duo including 1 gb memory stick. I wonder what is the limit of the memory stick duo you can use, since there are now 4 GB you can buy.
w830i.
I do not care about UMTS, and this is the GSM version of the w850i. Atleast this is what it is said in the sonyericsson homepage. Will this one be cheaper than w850i?
w810i
Or should I just go for the cheap one and get a 2 gb (or 4gb if it is compatible) and use this one?

Also I have heard from a source in SEM that the software of m600i and w950i is kindof still under development, because they are symbian phones.

Well, I think K800/K790 is the best SE phone, but you didn't even mention it....well between w950 and M600 I would go for the M600 because the price difference is TOO BIG and the M600 keyboard is nice!....but I really love w850 ....the problem is that the camera really SUCKS

well the reason I didnt mension k800i is that I think it is too big and it also has m2 memory stick.
I would like to have something with memory stick duo pro compability

and then I think maybe the
w830i is the best since it is not a UMTS so probably it should be cheaper than w850i

From that models you mentioned I would say the folowing:

- If your network operator does have 3g services enabled, I think you should go for the W850 or W900 (It is not very big diference by my opinion), but if it doesn't have 3g you should go for the W830. It is the same as W850 except the second video call camera.

Hope this helps

Thanks

Well, maybe SUCKS is not the word but if you get into the w850/w830 photos thread you will see that the photos are very bad compared to w800 photos

Well, if memory is a concern for you, then W950 has 4GB of it. You dont have to waste money on memory sticks if you get that one. Plus, W950 is a smartphone, so thats an added advantage.

Hmm... Are you considering the K750i? I just got myself one and it's a brilliant phone even now. It uses the Memory Stick Pro Duo, has an amazing camera with auto-focus and does not have UTMS, which you said you do not need. Considering that it's been out for quite some time now, the price should have fallen by a bit and should be more or less stable.
Of all the things I've lost, I miss my mind the most.

Apart from W850, all phones he mentioned beat the K750 hands down!

Getting a K800 would be a waste. If music has even a little bit of priority, then K800 doesnt stand a chance.
