There's enough new stuff on the W810i to make it my phone of choice between the K750, W800 and W810.
The W810i has a vastly superior screen (colour wise, and size). The resolution may be the same, but you will see what I mean if you compare the two.
The W810i also has EDGE (useful for Orange users in the UK), the update service, NetFront web browser, Flash Lite, RSS newsreader, phonebook backup to MS and the camera is like that of the W900i - meaning little to no 'blue streaks' in low light images - my only complaint about the W800/K750 really.
Finally, it has both a Walkman button AND a shortcut key - the best of both worlds.
Therefore, given the choice I'd go for a W810i each and every time. In fact, it's probably the best 'all-rounder' from SE at the moment - as long as you can live without 3G.

W810 has a better screen, but I wouldn't say it's "vastly superior" to W800's/K750's. | |

I was going to buy a w810 outright for $670 AUD, but why bother when I picked up my K750 for $440 AUD. $230 difference, forget that!
I wouldn't have purchased anything if I didn't kill my K700. |

Is this ture? Do you have/had a w810? that this happened on?
As I thinking of getting the w810 to replace my k750. I'm looking forward to having a walkman phone, but not so much that I want to lose a very good camera. I would say the camera is more important to me, but don't want the K800 as this means I need to get new memory sticks, which I don't want I have a couple of gig pro duo, don't need the extra expence of get M2 cards. |

i've got both k750 and w810.the w810 has a brighter screen but i've noticed that the displayed wallpapers,saved photos etc are a lot more pixelated than on my k750.side by side i'd choose the k750s screen.as for the walkman feature,there's on a few differences. |

What exactly happens to the W810i after a month? I need to know, because I've had mine about that time and nothing has happened yet!!
I presume you refer to the lack of a lens cover, but how many cameraphones have them? I've never had a camera get ruined, and my first cameraphone was four years ago - and god knows how many I've had since (or have right now).
The lens is recessed by a long way, and the sensor is tiny. It would have to be SERIOUSLY damaged to affect the picture - and how much is a replacement back cover? £15-20?
As for the screen size, I don't think the extra size makes the images look much blockier - but some old wallpapers that were saturated to look better on the duller K750/W800 screen look pretty poor on the W810i. Take any picture and keep it as it is, or use the photos from the camera, and I don't think I'd say it's any worse than my W800i. I much prefer the high contrast, increased brightness and improved saturation. Like it or not, that screen is going to filter down to even the entry level models in due course.
