W810i, has flash themes, a slightly larger and higher resolution screen and has no camera shutter, also looks nicer in my opinion
Posted by americany13
Thanx bro, But u were wrong on the screen sizes and reslostion, only difference I see is the 850mHz band.
does the W810 have 30hours of playback time like the W800?

Why do people think W810 has a bigger better screen? ITs the same.
Posted by milkyjoe
Difinitive: W810i has the same resolution screen, however sony switched the screen manufacturer so w810i has a 0.1" larger display and much more vibrant colours (I have seen them side by side).
w810i also has EDGE and is quad-band, w800i has neither of these.

rubbish .... the biggest difference is EDGE but seeing that you have a k800 you don't have a clue what edge is (k800 only has 3g)
big scinetist you are ... you compare the pictures and decide wich phone is better

they are 2 different phones with the w810 being greater, i have a w800 and must admit he w810 really looks good and the screen is much brighter, sw 1 from a friend but other than that it is almost the same, so it is a preference of a person wether the w800 or w810 is the best.

Well in my opinion :
w810i has + : edge (greater internet speeds) , QUAD BAND , flash themes , a better display , a good headseat , better look , no joystick , better pad , greater music listening , this are the mains i think .
Also it doesen't have that lens cover , wich is somehow crucial , but if you buy that thing to put the cellphone in it it's ok , well also a very annoying thing is like this : Yes it has flash themes , but who can use them since the most people using this fone are probaly on a branded fone , so the majority branded fones are without flash themes support , including firmware support .. FOR this : SHAME ON SONY ERICSSON ! I don't know how SE let's this happen .. IT'S A FUTURE OF THE FONE not a SERVICE , people..
So finnaly i GO for W810i .

Also, W800 has internal memory of around 34MB while W810 has only around 20MB.

Well you'd have to admit, for an owner of a W800, the W810 isn't much of an upgrade. Still, the difference is there, but you should see the mobileburn.com review of the W810. It talks about the differences between them.

Let me point out where you're wrong. It has the same display, the music listening is the same as W800, headsets are same as W800

they'r basickly the same cellphone but with small pros and cons
they'rr built on the same chasis(same screen, same dimensions, similar features, similar keypad arrangements excepting the d-pad)
if you want better browsing speed go for the w810
btw: the w810's headset is black not silver as the w800's
Posted by BobaFett
one of the best thing is in w810, that u can browse the net in full screen.
Posted by JJ!
the screen is not the same - anyone who says otherwise go put them side by side - the w810i has a 0.1" bigger screen, and had much brighter display.
Posted by americany13
thanx guys for all the replies, I think sold my K750i and got a K-jam.
But now I'm selling this slow freezing touch screen K-jam and getting a W810.
By the way the reason I am going for the W810 is because of the 850mhz band. I'm on cingular in the US.
my K750i never worked right.
I really wish SE makes some better quad band phones.
Posted by maryus51
They will have better fones , but all will i think will be 3G like k800 , unfortunately , America is nor investing in 3G too much from what i see.
Bye the way , if you want to buy that w810i go buy it .. I can't wait to buy it
just 1-2 weeks more [ This Message was edited by: maryus51 on 2006-07-19 17:26 ]

W810 has a light sensor that changes the brightness in dark or light conditions, works really well, put your finger over it in daylight and you can see it fade, saves a little battery i beleive.

So far so good and u people have identified some differences
but the difference for which i switched from w800 to w810 is the
BLACK COLOR
Posted by majed
THE W800i
This is the most expensive phone I've ever owned. I bought mine about 6 months ago and I still curse at it daily. That's how bad it is.
So much bad stuff I don't know where to start...
1) Some basic phone 101 functions are not included. For example, if a friend sends you a text message to ask you the number of your friend John, on most phones you can access your "contacts" while writing the message, and get John's number automatically. I could already do that on my first phone back in 1997; but no such thing on this $NZ850, 2005 phone. You have to remember the phone number or write it on a piece of paper and then type it yourself.
2) When someone who is not yet in your contact list, sends you a text message, you should be able to use that message to save their phone number, right ? Wrong. On
this state-of-the-art phone, you need to pretend to call them, then quickly cancel the call, then scroll through to your "called numbers" list, and from there you can save the new phone number. (if u havnt had it on auto-ask)
Just these 2 things give you an idea of how well-designed this phone is.
More bad stuff:
3. The PC software is horrible and counter-intuitive. It will take hours for you to understand how it works and start transferring music to the phone, and thank god they just improved it now with new Firmware else if you accidentally take the data wire out, without stopping it, u will lose everything in the Stick.
4.The mp3 player software is awful to navigate in. Plus external buttons are badly designed and you sometimes jump to another song without wanting it, or start playing songs by accident while using the phone.
5. The camera, everytime i get my fone out of my pocket, the camera is running.
6. Random exasperating fact : I have a one Giga memory card and there is about 200 Megas of free space on it. Yet every two-three days I have to spend time deleting text messages because the phone cannot save those on the memory card. And you can't receive new messages when the allocated "text message memory" is full. I can tell you, it's a great feeling to have to drop everything and chose some msgs to delete, in order to receive your new messages, all the while knowing you have enough space to store about 4 full CDs on your card.
And when if you do decide to delete all of those msgs all together, there isnt an easy way of doing that either, you have to go thru Manu, File Manager, More, Memory Status, Messages, (and even there you dont have that option still), then still keep going to...Inbox, More, Delete all msgs, (lol still going)..All or All read, Delete all messages YES/NO....finaly you are there BUT wait a min, the bar has to go ‘till the end’ as if it is downloading something, So you just still wait for it (50+msgs =30sec). Even then it says 'All Msgs Deleted' and then 'No More Msgs'. For God sake i just Deleted All of them so do you still have to tel me that THERE ARE NO MORE MESSAGES...
There is more but I guess you got the message. If you haven’t yet then just don't bother buying this overpriced, underdesigned exasperating piece of...phone. I am going to post this review on a few sites,
I've never done that before but I guess getting pissed off every time deserves some retaliation.
BUT I DO STILL USE IT THOUGH – GUESS NEED TO GET MY MONLY OUT OF IT
....................and i still love this thing.......................

My w800 did none of the above. LOL

@majed
Well some things that you complain about DO work. Maybe another way you are used to (easier).
1) Just select the phone number you want to send in the phone book, press "more" "Send contact".
2) No Problem: select the message, press "more", select "Use ...." and there "save number"
3) I agree - use some other software instead. It's a normal USB device, so what? I use iTunes together with "SyncTunes" (mac) or "iTunes Agent" (Windows)
4) Maybe the phone is too small for your fingers
5) Put it into the pocket the other way
6) I agree, the SMS storage limitation is anoying. As I synch the phone to my PC daily that's not a problem.

Main difference between the w810 and the w800 believe is the following:
W810 has a better screen display...
...has EDGE for faster internet browsing
...has a Dpad navigation
...is more compact
...has an Activity Button (shortcuts)
...has no Lense Cover
...has OTA Update Service
Posted by majed
Back to you mr/ ms KIMI
1) just select the phone number you want to send in the phone book, press "more" "Send contact".
Yes u are right. BUT guess what I was talking about when someone sends to a txt and u wants to reply (not come back to the main menu and start from the start again). And just for your info, YOU CAN NOT EDIT A MESG IN THAT METHED, YOU CAN ONLY SEND A CONTACT NO. AND NOTHING ELSE WITH IT).
2) Okay u got that right
3) I upgraded to the latest firmware and now its working properly
4) NO its not too small for my finger at all, for instance play/pause button gets pressed so often and gives you an alert suddenly sometimes.
5) Yes iv tried, but wt if u r wearing jeans? The camera’s pull-down button at the back, gets stuck.
6) And yes everyone agrees with the sms storage thing, no doubt about that.

Posted by sunils120
both the phones have their own pros and cons. for instance, the w810 lags in camera lens cover which should be present on a phone having a great 2 mp af camera. Similarly, the w800 must have edge..
