Hi. I currently have a D750i on T-Mobile and they are now allowing me to upgrade again on my other line. The question is this............ do i get the w800i or the Samsung D600? I love my Sony but apart from the bigger memory of the w800 i don,t see that i,m really getting anything different compared to my 750i which i can always flash to 800 specs if i want to.

Whats your opinion guys? ( and girls of course) The samsung any good from someone,s point of view that actually uses one?

My friend sold his W800 and then bought a sim free D600. Used it for about a week and hated it as he just didnt get on with the UI. He's now bought a W800 again lol

Hi ryan. Thanks for the input. I,ve decided to keep the D750i as it is with its current firmware (35) because i have absolutely no probs with it.

It transfers all my files fine by USB and BT...camera is perfect and i have yet to come across a situation with it that causes me probs ( i did have a sticking slider for the camera lens but resolved it now).

So i,m thinking...if it ain,t broke....don,t fix it.

Plus i keep the warranty still valid. I was interested in the D600 because of its screen and its TV out but having said that....i think they are options i can do without. So its the w800i for me ( music player and 512mb card)

Thanks for the inputs though.

yeah i agree with you there. You could experience things going wrong with the W800 firmware when you flash it, and if your happy with the way things are functioning at the moment then no need to change.

You'll be very happy with your spanking new original W800
