Well i been waiting over a month now i think it is but Orange still dont have the W800i back in stock
They got the K750 but im gonna have to then buy a bigger MS and a pair of them damn cool headphones everybody is talkin about.
U see i want the W800i for music primarily,but im gettin too tempted to just get the K750!
I got a contract wiv Orange but they are doing half price line rental for first 6 months on the Your Plans,they wud put my 2 accounts together in 1 bill and then i could use Line 1/Line 2 for my two numbers,thats the reason i need to be on Orange,apart from the great service i think i get from them,but thats an argument for another thread

So what u ppl think i shud do? i know i can change the K to a W but what i wanna know is how much eXtrA the accessories mentioned above are going to cost me,as i would be getting them free wiv the W800i,as the phone is free too

Ps,my current contract is negotiable in December,im thinking of just waiting but then the W800i may not be free on an upgrade at that time anyway (tight budget ) and i could do wiv some anytime minutes as im on an EveryDay 50 atm (peak calls are 35p a min )


Help!

Well the only feature that separates the two is probably not gonna make that much difference anyway...

id say get the k750 you can buy a 512mb card or bigger if your require around about £40 ish http://www.expansys.com/product.asp?code=121448
though that was the first site i found so others may offer cheaper suggestions
as for headphones buy a decent set not the ones that come with either as for £20 you can get a far better pair these ones here are pretty hard to beat in sound quality terms for the price

http://www.kelkoo.co.uk/b/a/s[....]nnheiser_mx500_headphones.html
unless you really like the looks of the w800 over the k750 then it might be worth waitng but id still replace the headphones for a decent set

read all your replys so because i already own a 750i your saying the w800i is basically the same phone. I am due for a t-mobile upgrade next month or change of network what should i get
my requirements are
1. good camera at least 1m
2. xpanadble memory
3. ability to add music videos/comedy clips / videos
4. music player
5. screen colours 256000
I have looked at all the likely contenders d600 p900i w800i need some advice from people who actually have the phone rather tham just reading magazines / listening to shop staff although i am a se fan i am not adverse to trying other manufactures
thanks
