whether its worth £300 or not is open to discussion, but it seems to be holding its price well thus far as it hasnt been reduced since release date whereas the w910 has come down £40 in the same time frame.

Really though, Why pay £300 on a top end phone on Payg and then pay for top ups every month when you can get it for free on £35 a month 12 months, costing a total of £420, which is pretty much equivalent to £300 for the phone plus a £10 top up every month, except you get a hell of a lot more minutes and texts.

How much did the K800i cost on release? £300 im sure. All of the latest top end K series phones have been around £300 on release, its nothing new, and IMO its not overpriced. The bigger screen, HSDPA and 5Mpix camera are why it is more expensive right now. As soon as better models become availabe, the price will obviously drop.

I.E. The only reason whe the K800i is £100 is because it is two years old. If you dont want the lastest technology, then dont pay £300, go buy a 3 year old outdated handset instead.

BTW, the K850i cost me £0.
