w900. Contrary to what other people say, I find the size just right for me...not too big or small. 5'4 lang ako. I got mine from Globe. I love it!:)

here are some of the features for each phone:

S700i
Good points:
- 1.3 MP CCD sensor (i think the best cameraphone in the said category)
- good body construction (as proof, try removing the battery cover)
- scratch-resistant screen (i read somewhere that someone ran through a knife on the phone's screen, and it didn't even cause damage!)
- display is best in its class (as compared to other phones with the same pixel count)

Bad points:
- somewhat slow software (UI is not as responsive as other phones)
- Memory Stick Duo support only, up to 128Mb (cannot use MSD Pro, which can have up to 2Gb memory)

W550i
Good points:
- walkman features (enhanced audio player, dual speakers that play deafening music)
- flight mode (can use the phone in areas where radio frequency is restricted)
- exchangeable covers (like some nokia phones)
- enhanced features (like advanced searching for pictures, ability to copy and paste a block of text, etc...)
- good java gaming capabilities

Bad points:
- no memory card support (however, phone memory is 256Mb)
- inferior 1.3 MP camera (as compared to other phones with the same pixel count)

W900i
Good points:
- 2.0 MP camera (i think comparable to the K750i/W800i camera)
- Memory Stick Pro Duo support (expandable up to 2Gb)
- 470Mb phone memory
- 320x240 resolution for video capture
- UMTS support
- phone seems to have the best features of the W800i and the K750i

Bad points:
- somewhat slow software (UI is not as responsive as other phones)
- screen is not as clear as S700i
- below-average battery life for a phone with many features

*** i think, the W900i is the best phone among the three swivel-phones from SE. but everyone has different tastes... ***
SE T68i (Feb2004-May2004)
SE T610 (Sep2004-Jun2005)
SE K700i (Jun2005-Sep2005)
SE S700i (Sep2005-Present)

software on my W900 doesn't seem slow. same speed as my K750. as far as battery life goes, i get between 3 to 4 days depending on use.

the only issues i have with it are that sometimes the activity menu doesn't come up from the standby screen, usually after memory intensive use (BT file transfers, browser sessions, video and walkman use all within a short period of time). but a simple reboot restores the activity function.

also, the SMS alert starts out softly for the first 1 sec of the alert tone, so many times, you don't hear it, especially if you're in a noisy place. the solution is to either to select an SMS tone that plays longer than 1 sec, or what i did was to edit the tone and insert 1 sec of silence prior to the tone playing.

i'm sure that these issues will be sorted out in future firmwares. otherwise, the phone is excellent. no complaints and very few bugs for an initial release.

as far as a carrying case is concerned, the W900 uses the same case as the S700 which is SE's IEC-30 i believe.
