w810 just looks so much better - the only thing the w900 has over it are its headphones with the digital display on them

don't forget 3G- which I dont have much use for myself. your (our) W810 does EVERYTHING the W900 does-every single feature, mind you-except for everything 3G. if im hauling around a phone that big, i'd really rather it be a PDA phone with 3G and wi-fi and everything else there is (read: P990) I'm sticking to my (our) W810. the size of the W900 bothers me. Ang dang, those menus are slow.

the w900 isn't even that big in real life. it may be a tad bigger than normal phones, but it feels great.

Ive had the W900i.... its a great phone and I love the video recording and the large screen onit. Also lots of memory standard on the phone, which is very helpful. Battery life is not so good.

I own a W810i.... its a great handset.... battery life is great.... only nag small screen and the software bugs present at the moment..... Only TEMP phone till the K800i or something better..........

They are both good phones.... but you need to look at and see what suits your needs.

Cheers
ENJOY

My sister has a W900, and although I envy the 3G and QVGA screen and better video recording, I still like my W800 better.

What I don't like about W900
- weight and volume
- much shorter battery life
- less convenient music controls (in W800, you can easily feel the side volume buttons and the side play/pause/stop music button which I can operate easily even while my phone is in my pocket-- I can't do that on a W900).

I have no experience with W810 at all (they don't have it in the US) so there is nothing much that I can say about it.

I do however, have a W900i that I can give you feedback on.

Took me about a couple of weeks to get used to the size of W900i (from K700 and Moto RAZR) but after that it's not too bad.
The W900i is more to the thick side rather than wide but very tolerable.

The good: Nice screen, menu is easy to navigate, big storage (mine comes with the total of 1GB), FM Radio, Walkman feature, good 2 MP camera and cool spring loaded swivel.

The bad: Relatively thick.

The ugly: In my opinion the unit is due for a firmware update. There are a few minor bugs that I found on it. More of an annoyance than problem.
i.e. when activated through the remote sometime it go to the last mode that it's in (radio in my case) but sometime it choose to go to media player mode (mp3). There is loud crackling on the headphones when a call came in while you are listening to the radio/mp3.
There are a couple other bugs but less annoyign than those 2 above..
