Hold on a second, what's the point of releasing the so-called W800 music phone in September when the D750, that's already out now, is exactly the W800 but in "baby blue" instead of the "orange" colour. Why not release the W800 as well?? The only reason I can think of, for not releasing them simultaneously, is SE's manufacturing capacity not being up to par.
as SE's no88 fanboy, it is unfortunate to note that SE seems to behind the curve lately re: coming to market; I think the financial results will keep showing this... I just sold my P910!!! all my friends were left in shock 'cos I've had it for sooooo long but it seems no replacement in sight. So I'm back to a small phone (K750i) and a PDA (Palm LifeDrive) combination again. this is after almost buying a Nokia 6680 'cos the Series 60 platform has sooooo many apps it's shocking!! But no replacement for the P series.
Oh yeah, I think SE should just take a hit on 1GB MS Duo Pro sticks and just bundle them FREE as a value added package. + The W800 sucks compared to the K750i. (Personal opinion)
Sorry guys & girls... Rant over |

ak2g, its worth noting there are differences between the W800i and the D750, rather than simple case colouring.
The first being the W800i has the Walkman branding, 512mb MSPD and better headphones. It also has the flight mode.
The D750 is simply a K750i that looks like a blue W800i. The D750 isnt a Walkman phone, its just a K750i thats branded to T-mobile.

Apologies if this has been mentioned here already, but do you guys think or know whether the w800 will have versions branded at all by the likes of vodafone,, orange etc ?
I hope the fact that it's a walkman phone nobody will be allowed to mess with its firware.
Branding this would be a travesty !

Don't worry SE is not allowing anyone to touch the Walkman branding on the W800. Companies have the K750 to f*** with. |

I suspect the reason we have to wait for the W800 is that T-Mobile had an exclusive with their D750. Not a total exclusive as it's really a K750 in disguise but just exclusive rights to use the W800 body design for 1 month or so.
Anyone else think this could be true? |

No, the reason is SE arent stupid. They wont release the W800i because its far too much like the K750i. Both phones would compete with each other now, and later in the year leave SE without a new phone to compete with other companies products like Nokia's N91.

Someone mentioned that months ago. I dont think they'll be making a 60gb+ MSPD for the W800i anytime soon though.

After using both I must say I prefer the K750s looks... the W800 looks too much like a toy... |
