Picking up a new phone and have given up waiting for the K800, and dont want the W950 due to the lack of camera, so was just wondering which one people thought was the better phone out of the W810 & K750?

Just a correction. W900 has a 2 MPX camera with AF and a much better video recorder and video player. But it is a bit big compared to K750 or W810.

better is a very surjective term, depends what you want a phone for?
for basic features, you wont notice the difference between the k750 and w810.

There's enough new stuff on the W810i to make it my phone of choice between the K750, W800 and W810.
The W810i has a vastly superior screen (colour wise, and size). The resolution may be the same, but you will see what I mean if you compare the two.
The W810i also has EDGE (useful for Orange users in the UK), the update service, NetFront web browser, Flash Lite, RSS newsreader, phonebook backup to MS and the camera is like that of the W900i - meaning little to no 'blue streaks' in low light images - my only complaint about the W800/K750 really.
Finally, it has both a Walkman button AND a shortcut key - the best of both worlds.
Therefore, given the choice I'd go for a W810i each and every time. In fact, it's probably the best 'all-rounder' from SE at the moment - as long as you can live without 3G.

You are correct...its what you want in a phone...for some people things such as talk time is important, and in the comparrison the K750i has more talk and standby time |

The battery life on my W810i seems no worse than my W800i, although I accept the official figures do say otherwise.
The fact the screen shuts off so quickly might explain why you can still get exceptional standby times - and it's possibly the only minor annoyance on the phone. There's no option to keep the screen on (showing the clock) even with a warning that it will impact battery life.
I guess the screen consumes a lot more power than the old one. Still, an option would be nice as I would rather charge it more often than have to keep pressing 'back up' to get the screen back on after I stopped to blink.

w810i is better than k750i for a music phone but k750i has a lens cover to protect the lens , although i would swap my k750i for a w810i probably.

The lens cover hasn't proved to be an issue for me, although I was worried that it might be.
It's small and recessed. Should it get scratched (rather than dirty - which can be fixed with a cotton bud), it isn't that expensive to recase it.

in my book k750 for it's lense cover - not just for the better protection but also the ability to turn cam on with a simple slide of the lense cover, even when phone is locked. Advantages of W810 include faster menu when using large mem sticks, love the more subtle walkman theme and all black. Dpad works well but i haven't used it enough to say for sure if i like it as much as a proper joy. dual softkeys work well. i have some demo images to compare against my k750 but no differances are obvious on the handset itself. it's a nice phone i like it alot but the fact it has no active lense and the fact k800 3.2mp is coming soon means there is no point in me looking at one seriously. esp. since retail price here is 929 AUD!
