What are the software/user interface difference between W800i and k750i.
Now that both phones are out, it will be a good time for me to ask this question, as i have not bougth any of the 2 phones yet.

Because i'm looking at purchasing the k750i, and just change the memory stick and earphone that are suppiled with it to a better one. This is so as i would rather perfer a black mobile and it will be cheaper to do so too. Also i can live without the airplane mode.

We all know the main differnce between w800i and k750i are:

1) Airplane mode in W800i only
2) Difference in internal memory size
3) Difference in supplied memory card size
4) HPM-70 supplied for W800i only
5) Difference in color of the mobile

So with these difference stated, can anyother tell me if there are anything else that W800i has that K750i doesn't?

Thank you

2) Difference in internal memory size




Both phones have 34MB internal memory. They're the same. Both phones share the same hardware.

Not true. Just checked the website. Both have 34MB. I've already mentioned both have identical hardware. That is why people are able to flash their K750i's to W800i's.

Still don't believe me? Go check it out for yourself...

The damn phones are IDENTICAL!!!!! I have them BOTH! THEY ARE THE SAME!

How can people post BS based on things they've "heard" about???

After a master reset they both have slightly over 34MB of free internal memory.

The airflight mode isn't really much to lose out on anyway. It just lets you use the music player, you can't play games, etc.

OK, I'm still not sure wich one I whould get, so could anyone who has used both clarify a few things ?

-Is the mp3 player the same in the k750i ? can you sort files by artist/album ?
-Does the w800i actually feel sturdier ? I remember reading it on another post.
-What do I need in order to plug my own heafphones on the k750i ?

thanx ^^

K750 has a button for the activity menu. To bring out the activity menu for the W800 you push the joystick upwards from the main desktop. No way to change how it works. I prefer the way it's handled by the K750 since you can access the activity menu even if you are digging through menus

Doesnt the W800 also support the use of audio jacks for Stereo connectivity, where as the k70 doesn't...

Im not sure though could be wrong.

The W800i is supplied with stereo headphones that have a little connector that go into the bottom of the phone.

It also serves as a hands free kit. You can disconnect the headphones from the microphone and use your own headphones, but they need to be short or else you will have a lot of cable around you.

Basically both phones are the same.The main differences have already been disscused so many times.I recommend that u should buy a K750 coz it is black and looks good.Moreover the camera lens cover of K750 is much better than W800.I think you should go for K750 and buy a HPM-70 handsfree as it works great.It goes deep into the ears as produce a surround sound (on both K750 and W800).And fpr a larger memory u can buy a memory card but i think 34MB shared+64MB is quite reasonable.
