w880 is already a well known fone, here is the w890 thread

http://www.esato.com/board/viewtopic.php?topic=158500&start=0

for me both fones are the same, w890 has got a bit different design, thats all. nor of them has got af, so if u after a good cam fone, u shouldnt go for any of those.

Age order: W880i is older, then T650i, then W890i which came out a few days ago.

W880i: 2MP non-autofocus camera, A100 platform (older SE operating software), thinnest of the three.

T650i: 3.2MP autofocus camera (best camera of the three), no Walkman player, but still decent media player. A100 platform as well. Arguably the best looking of the three. Thickest of the three phones though. Has a radio.

W890i: 3.2MP non-autofocus camera (second best), latest SE A200 platform including new Walkman 3.0 player. Thinnest of the three. Plus it has radio which the W880i lacks. It also features HSDPA (faster internet).

If you don't already know, the W890i is the successor to the W880i. So really it should be better all round (and from what I've heard and seen, it is.)

i think the 890 is more "complete" than the 880. it has radio which is not featured in the 880

Imaging wise, you chose the beter option of the three handsets you were considering..

Feature wise, w890 is the best choice. It has d fancy A200 UI interface, hsdpa, beter screen, video etc.

But just the same, t650 is a good choice. Its a lovely well crafted classic fone.

new web browser with mouse pointer on the w890i is a vast improvement, the keys are better than the w880i and the camera is brill.
