gday

notice a few threads about the joystick problem with the W800 and K750, but myself its perfect with both of my phones.. nothing is wrong.

although my k750 joystick does seem abit lose and easy to push in all directions. my w800 is abit stiffer (i like it) to push in any direction.

i was wondering what are (if any) diferences of these two joysticks. k750 and w800.

the k750 seems to be easier to push over the w800

the w800 joystick is full silver ???

has anyone got these two joysticks opened up and compared them ???

i like to know if these are the same or not...

cheers

gday mate, walkabout a mates yard the other day and he's got the w800i...

I noticed that too exactly...

I recon the internal switch is same but it's the actual plastic Joystick design not internal components...

I have also seen a K750 flashed to w800i and case change and it looks/feels the same... in fact I got a few doubts if it was really a K750i originally, but soon the parts were produced to prove the job was done...

The owner is a bit pissed when he found that he can no longer use SEUS since when he does it flashes it back to k750i branded on voda

So he bought a k750i flashed it to w800i and cased it all for £30 extra but in the end he could have gotten the reall thing which will prove cheaper in the end...

What a rip off uh Davinci?.... Now he's got to pay everytime a new f/w comes out and he wants the flash... [addsig]

well I just called my mate and he says phisically the two parts are not very different....

the differences are mostly on the front housing of phones and the way it surrounds the joysticks...

Here is a pic from a forum review of the two side by side I just posted the pic as example and I dont wanna be acused of stealing a pic from another forum... if anyone is offended by it well Ill ask it to be removed with my apologies in advance...

yeah the W800 front housing makes the joystick seem to stick out more. i have a k750 and i made my dads k750 a kinda W800, front and back covers from a W800, its definately better.
