there seems to be some confusion over what has been "released" (i.e. actually available) and what has been "announced" (i.e. available at a later date)
both w800 and w600 are "announced"

unfortunately it is for US only as indicated by the "a" suffix and also the frequencies supported, not that it will stop people in europe buying it and using it on networks that support 1800mhz

I concur. It would sell well in Europe and the rest of the world as well, as to me it has a pretty interesting form factor, and very good features as well.

I have to agree. These '600 phones keyboard look naff and cheap and basic and I'm sure my kids could have designed that in a school project

I'm in the U.S. Why would I buy the W600 over the W800 if both will be marketed in The U.S. ?
Hmmmmm.........
W800 Expandable memory upto 1G , possibly 2G / 2.0MP cam
W600 256 MB / 1.3 MP cam / EDGE
I like EDGE, however I also like more memory and more MP's in cam.
I really wish they had built the W800 with EDGE.
Never the less undecided.............. I need to decide what is more important to me. (Specs)

No expandable memory....... I've said it before, American's are ignorant to cell phone technology. The reason for non-expandable memory is, because americans could care less about memory cards.
The mentality is: A phone is simply to make phone calls. Anything extra, is accepted as nice features. This frustrates me.
Hence why there is not a demand for phones with all the bells and whistles.
I need all the technology I can get in a phone. I don't care to pay a little more if I can get all the tools I need.
Not all Americans think like I do.

In my opinion, SE got it wrong with releasing two phones in the S600i and W600a. They both should have the "W600i" with 256mb.
SE's argument is that adding more memory to the s600 would create internal competition to the k750. I dissagree:
Give the market a budget mp3 phone (256mb)and give them a high end mp3 phone (2gb). Anything less than 256mb with the label "mp3 player" is a cruel joke. |
