i managed one, cos of the only reason cos it was cheap. its locked and branded, but it will fits my needs for listening to music. anyway, the keypad is brilliant, the best one since t630 imo, i do like "hard" keypad, at "soft" buttons i miss the feelinf if i pushed the button or not. but that joypad solution is really crap imo, very uncomforteable, the side keys, key in key soltution was an interesteing ides, but hard to use, way too tiny. and dont have big fingery, but it fits them hard. w800 joy is far better imo. next to it i like the black cover, but couldnt find any advantage next to w800i.

EDGE?
Several improvements in GUI?
More bluetooth functions?

I think the w810i is a big improvement compared to the w800i. Firstly its a whole new design where as the w800i is the exact same as the d750i, not sure which copied off which though - and my friend says it also looks like another older SE model which takes a lot away from its design and looks. Also like DeLa stated it has EDGE, improvements to GUI and again its in black which just make it the most sexy walkman phone SE have made to date!

The only thing about w810 thats really an upgrade is edge.... it doesnt have joystick, no cam-shutter, smaller internal memory (bad for 3d games)... not to mention that a w800 is much cheaper nowadays..

JOYSTICKS SUCK

and the joypad buttons are just something u should get used to..

and not to forget
flash menu's, better screen, faster menu..

It was a small upgrade, but nonetheless, an upgrade. If you really wanted a proper 'upgrade' we should wait for the W850.

Isn't the screen exactly the same?
TFT 262.144, 176 * 220 pixels?

The look is very different if you ask me.
And from what I read the GUI changes are important.

Also isn't the browser more capable? And w810 has rss reader?

It all depends on how much more you want to give for all that. I would. I have a k700 now and a w810 would be much more of an improvement than a k750 eg.
