if you're going to get a new phone. get the one with the later technology... k800



Not true, If you get the K800 the 3g would be all but useless in the US, since the only 3g GSM provider is Cingular and they are not using the same frequency for 3g as is used in Europe (2100mhz I belive), so the phone would give you zero benefit, and would actually be slower than a K790( which has EDGE) since it would only be usable for GPRS (up to 56kbps).

Its gonna be too fat for me. Although with a 3.2 mega pixel cam might just sway me.
This whole phenomena is a mystery, wrapped in an enigma, wrapped in a government agenda.

is the k790 gonna be available in the UK? just asking cos we have 3G, which personally i dont think id use. The beauty of a fone is that noone can see u on the other end! (ie ur boss when ringing in sick!!! lol)

I think i should go with K790i and i like the idea that they didn't put both EDGE and 3G in the same phone. Because as my country (Bangladesh) doesn't have 3G but EDGE now I don't have to pay more cash for the production cost of 3G hardware

If you go to your countries Sony Ericsson website and look at the products you will be able to see which version your country will be getting either K790 or K800. The model in the list will be the one Sony Ericsson will be officially selling in your country. Where EDGE is available and not 3G they will sell the K790 and where 3G is available and most common they will sell the K800, it all depends on which market you live in.
