I see some questions to be answered.
Do you prefer joystick or D-pad?
Do you store a lot of data? (W900 can cope with more at the moment)
Do you use video recording alot?
Do you mind the size of the W900 when open?
Do you mind the camera shutter on K800? (bulky, or loose)

In my own opinion I'd keep the W900, because I like swivel phones and it has the Nvidia chip, better video recorder, remote control on headphones and quite good camera with light that you could use as torch (was really helpfull to me when I owned a W550 for some time)

The advantages I see in favor of K800 is:
better still picture capabilities, A and B buttons for landscape gaming and camera shortcuts; active camera shutter for quicker acces to the camera; looks (I like black) and joystick, but that's a personal opinion. cheers

Well having owned both myself i have to say W900i all the way matey, k800i just did not cut teh mustard with me, the cam aint no real big improvement and the only thing i liked better was the revised interface (new fonts etc)

W900i is rarer and is a phone people take notice of, looks special in al its white swiveling amazingness, i really want another lol

I would say keep the k800, but only if you would send the w900 to me free of cost (jamaica) the w9 is the phone that i want but dont have the funds to buy it. If you are not going to send the w9 to me, get rid of the k8 keep the w9 its a great phone

@ last prophet - Since I am not into W-series fones . . . my choice will definitely be - K800 here . . . also, when it comes to choosing for the fone's shell color . . . I rarely GO on picking - IVORY, mostly . . . EBONY ! [addsig]

Keep the K800i, because the W900 is white and has the really ugly voda branding. Black is sleek.

Keep the w900i because its going to be the last music phone sony ericsson make with a decent camera the new phones have poor cameras and the other reason is MSDuo oh and hard wear chip of 30fps vdo recording

The K800 is better.

Ultimately it should be up to you. Whatever you deem the most important.

I personally don't like swivel design but in this case I'd pick the w900 because of its features, large memory, 30fps video recording, better music player, and its uniqueness overall. The K800 isn't much of an improvement IMO even compared to K750.

It all really depends on you.
resistance is futile.

tricky one, if the w900 was black then w900 defo! Ive got one in black but thinking of getting the k800 as a second phone. Only problem i see is, within a few months everyone will have the k800, everyone! Dont see many ppl with the w900 in white, never seen anyone with it in black.

Id keep the w900, sell the k800 while its price is high. If you decide to sell it a month down the line you'll get alot less.
