The sound quality of the loudspeaker isn't that good for both phones.

If you are interested in music I suggest you go for the W800i. The main advanages over the K750i are the following:
- dedicated music player button
- songs can be listed per "album" "title" "genre" and so on
- music player can be turned on even with phone functionalities turned off (flight mode)
- Provided memory stick duo has bigger capacity
- Provided earphones are better (according to some) and they allow you to plug a standard earphone (so you can purchase even better ones)

Camera functionalities are pretty much the same in both phones.
I heard many people here that liked the K750i looks better than the W800i, or that just purchased the first phone which was available.
If you really do not like the W800i looks you can always purchase a K750i and upgrade its software to the W800i one, as the hardware in both phones is the same.

Personally I have to disagree with the comment on poor music quality. I own a K750i (with original FW, as it has some business oriented functions I appreciate) and standard earphones and I love the music quality. Of course it also depends on the quality of music you put in the phone...

Hope it helped.

Personally I have to tell that both phones really are amazing. Full of features and with a very good form factor.
You will not regret purchasing one of the phones... Plus, you will spare money on a dedicated music player

ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh....

Please dont go to the carphone warehouse..... Heck buy it from online reailer a guy you never met on the street, steal one.... But dont go to the carphone warehouse.....

They are Crap, theire mobiles are (some are replicas) crap.... second hand reconditioned models sold as new, pre branded/locked by other companies overseas and then re-flashed here in UK...

The List goes on and on....

And if you did take it back and get a full refund....

Shifty little foockers they are.... [addsig]

This is something for theire pre sales "screening e-mail" a way anyone can for a binding contract in writin with a specific question that would be directly influencing you decision of purchase of said equipment...

The quicker and better they reply will give you an indicative of support and commitment....

I still think £249 is a very reasonable price to pay for a sim free mobile of that calibre in comparison to a O2 Locked and branded price of £229 [addsig]
