I searched and found some posts about this, but most of them seemed to be pre release.
These phones are practically identical, but i was wondering which one is better. I am upgrading my contract and can choose either one of these. K750i costs £30 and W800i costs £60. Which should i choose? The cost is irrelevant seeing as a sony memory stick duo 512mb is more than £30.
Which one should i choose?

The one which design appeals the most to you.

Because basically the phones are identical, atleast in terms of hardware. Only differences are design of housing, and sligtly different firmwares allowing flightmode in W800 and a mediaplayer with more functions than the one in K750. Plus you get some more extras with the W800, bigger memcard, different headset and the headsetconnector.

If you prefer the design of the W800 and want the extras then get that one.
If you prefer the design of the K750, dont care for the extras, but still want the flightmode and mediaplayer of the W800, then get a K750 and flash it with W800 firmware.

I got both but have decided to sell my K750. Strange as I prefer black phones as well. Just something about the W800 that has caught my attention over the K750. Similar feeling I had when I bought my S700.
