Hi mate. I have both the 750 and the 800. I love them both. The 800 does come with better headphones and more memory so its probably worth choosing the 800 on that basis alone.
Like everyone else on here...i find no problems with the 800 getting dirty. Its easy to wipe clean and i,ve had mine for 4 weeks now.
All the best anyway.
First ever SE and chuffed to bits  But i still love my 8890 |

Hi Jenspiffy
I've had lots of phones that looked like phones and some that looked out of the ordinary, but the w800i is in a class of its own. I thought about the k750 but I am really glad I went for the W800i, it is so beautifully made and a joy to use.
The K750 looks like a phone, but if you are a business user sometimes that is all you want, but if you want a phone that gives you pleasure every time you look at it buy the W800i.
regards

I'll also comment on my W800i that I have had now for about 2 months. I ALWAYS keep mine in my front pocket and since I work on machinery at my job, I sometimes handle it with greasy hands. However, the phone wipes clean with no problem.
The screen is also rather resistant to scratching. Of course, I never put keys, or change in the same pocket that I have the phone in, that would definitly scratch it up, but for daily use, it has held up really well, looks almost as good as it did when it was new.
The only problem area I have is the chrome ring around the camera lens. Since the lower part of the ring contacts whatever surface you have the phone laying on, the chrome is wearing off a little at that area, but it's not that noticeable. Also, the door for the memory card is a rubber type material, and when it gets dirty, it stays that way, but no big deal.
The cream color part of the phone has a hard surface, not the spongy type that you observed on the display model, so it will wipe clean.
I am very impressed with the W800, and this is the first  phone I have ever owned (all my others were Nokia. I am now a kinda guy).  This phone does everything I would want, and will serve me for a long time.
Bottom line, get the W800i, you won't regret it!

w800 was the reason i converted from Nokia to SE. I don't regret a thing. The great thing is you don't have to make extra investments - all is already included in the package. Just use all the features, get Opera mini app and enjoy the phone. |

I've had my W800 for just over a month now and i've got one of those "silicon cases" on my phone. the bits where dirt/dust tends to accumlate around the parts that are not covered but i found it easy to take the casing off and wipe the phone down gently with a damp tissue or a non-cosmetic alcohol wipe.

I dunno, but would the W800 eventually turn yellowish in colour if not maintained properly?

Maintaining a W800 clean and looking good requires more effort than doing so on a K750 (since it's black). |
