Probably. It was exclusive for 4 months on Voda in the UK then was not picked up anywhere else although its still in demand even now.

I always wanted a black version, I still do infact. Such a nice sturdy and unusual handset, screen and video was amazing.

Really? I have seen them for about $250 on eBay. I might investigate.

this phone had never been officially sold here,and now the owners sell them at whatever price they want.(although it is worth buying i believe)

all persons owning a w900 i've met,they are all black ones,and i like the black one more,but the white one is more expensive

Its the exact opposite in the UK. The black version was VERY rare but its a bit more common now. The only white versions had Vodafone branding so you had to debrand them to release their full potential - like using MP3s for ringtones and message tones etc.

I don't think an official unbranded white version exists, does it?

But yeah, The W900i had a very short lifespan. I can't think of a phone with a shorter one. Maybe the S600i, the swivel version of the W600i was it?

i thought the W710 is more rare than W900!!
i only saw a person using W710 in my whole life where i see lots of W900 in both black and white... Z710., even worse... never at all...

i think the T610 sold really well too, though i don't think it remained in shelves for as long as the K750.

Well people, it's already only just over £200 from X1387 on Ebay:

HERE

With shipping, that's about...£220del......

QVGA, revelations! You mean you don't find T650 'tacky' anymore??




no its beginning to grow on me now, but not as a main phone as i need a smartphone. But as a 2nd phone it looks like the one to go for. I've got my eye on this and W910

The longest has gotta be the K750 over here. It's still being sold in many of the shops here, whereas the newer W810 has more or less been cleared out already. The staying power of the K750 is remarkable!
Of all the things I've lost, I miss my mind the most.

The K750i seems to be SE's equivalent of the Moto V3 RAZR, arguable in more ways than one sadly! I don't think that have produced such a groundbreaking phone since (maybe the K800i?), just like Moto haven't since the RAZR.

I hope SE manage to pull something out the bag soon as I don't want them to go the same way as Motorola have! (Sorry, bit off topic!)

I can't think of any that's been on sale longer than the K750i as well, bit of a modern classic!
