Just been and had a good look at both in my local Voda shop. Their White version has has the shortcut button and wap button replaced with green and red answer/end buttons.
Why they would get rid of the shortcut button doesn't makes sense to me I find it really useful - especially when using opera - mini and you get a message or txt.

I find that Vodaphone turn even the best phones into junk. They take their branding way too far. Why replace keys with custom ones. Is changing all of the software not enough for em.
On the other hand, this nice black one from O2 (debranded) is really nice! Even though O2 have started to put their brand on the case it's still in the same colour as the rest of the case so it blends in real nice. |

Just a quick question for anyone who has one from o2, does the phone come with a 512MB of 1GB mem stick, as there web site states 512MB.
Strongly considering getting one of these but o2 want £119.99 to upgrade! |

Can you play videos using the  player on yours? If you can, do you also have the frame by frame feature?

Sam, the o2 version came with 1GB memory stick. It's a great phone, very classy looking. Much better than the white I think.
Now I've got to decide if I'm brave enough to debrand it. I've never done it before but do want to get rid of the o2 stuff. Is it easy? How drastically wrong can it go? |

 It can go very wrong (rarely) but the new Wotanserver seems to be debranding really well so far and they have fw already for the W850i.
I haven't read of many mishaps using it. It takes about 15 mins according to some peeps.

This phone has entered the charts at No 12 Lets see if it can knock the K800i off the top spot, which it has held for the last 6 weeks.

OK, this is sounding more likely. So I go to the home page, select the picture of the W850 (I know, idiot's guide here!), pay my shekels and go from there...?
I assume that being on a Mac makes no difference (have to ask, it usually does, still).

@goldenface: are you against the k800? or you think it's time for the k800 to go down?
I think the w850 will rock as the k800 does

No not at all.
The K800i is a brilliant handset and deserves to be No1. The N73, E900 and D900 have all failed to knock it off the topspot in the UK. It would be interesting to see if this new baby (W850i) tops it. I reckon it will.

I think the K800 can still evolve IF FAR Manager allows us to firmware change it or mix & match the w850's walkman player into the K800. That would make it supreme.

Anyone tried to make a video call yet? Any problems? I tried to make on to a T-Mobile Nokia 6280 and would not work. |
