The K800i is so cheap right now, I've seen it going for just £59.99 on PAYG. Is the K810i that much more expensive though?

K810 is a little more expencive than K800.. It is newer model andcomes with 128mb memory stick... That makes the difference in price... But getting K800 is better in my opinion... It's cheaper... My advice:

- get K800
- get large capacity memory stick M2
- get HPM70 (or better) walkman headset
- flash your phone with K810 firmware (and customize it to suit your needs)

I have my K800 almost a year and I wont think of buying new phone until the day it dies totally ...

About the media player issue... Some guys say that it is bad or etc... The K800 media player is Walkman 1.2 with some features removed...


So the difference is that you have worse songs and playlist management, but you have stereo widening and etc...

If that's a problem, you can get KD player installed and port it with a shortcut in the main menu instead of the default Music Player...

I hope this helped you

if like me u aint prepared to pay stupid amounts for a phone then it's killer. easily modded, great cam (for a phone) plays tunes but most of all, so much content available for it. doesn't excel at anyting just gr8 all rounder. design is personal pref which i like.

nice cheap phone. no wifi, edge and hspda. a bit bulky and camera lens cover can be a bit of a problem.

I agree that the K800 is best buy for the money. Also, later models will give you more trouble in my opinion. K800/K810 is a good phone though, packing all the good stuff such as good camera, radio, mp3 player. I would have gotten it myself to replace my W800 if my girlfriend didn't get it first. My dad also has the K800. They're both very pleased with it.
You should just pick between K800 or K810. The only difference between them is size and looks.

I have a k800@k810, and it is a great phone.
Great camera, Great value for money, and with a decent pair of headphones, the sound can be good too. Highly Recommended
