Hi!
I can`t choose between these phones!!!!!!!
I think I`m going mad!
Here in Sweden W810i costs about 440 dollars and you can buy a K800i for about 560 dollars!
I don`t wantanything special with my phone but it should be one with great functionallity and good camera and good music.

Only thing that W810 is better at is its design. The K800 has it's unbranded player, 3G, better camera, everything! Only thing that the W810 has, and the K800 doesn't have is Megabass.

If you can afford k800 and like its design, then get it. some things about both:

W810
-it's sexier, and has a more eye-catching design.
-smaller, lighter.
-Has the cool Walkman logo.
-Has megabas.
-4 bands (world phone)
-comfortable to wear.
-fast and responsive.
-far less expensive
-edge support
-uses highly available and cheap Memory Stick Pro Duo

K800
-better hardware
-bigger screen, bigger resolution
-stronger camera
-better photo applications
-uses M2 memory stick
-it's bigger and heavier
-3G support
-more expensive

so, it's up to what you can afford and if you dig the design and form factor. I couldn't afford the k800 right now, so I bought the w810 and I wouldn't be happier. it's a phone everyone admires just looking a it. it screams: Good quality! but, this is my personal opinion and may not suit everyone...

In my opinion, I dislike the designs of the W series. I'd go for the K800, although it does come with a heavy price tag. Wait till it drops in price.

The K800 is much much quicker.

Also M2 Micro memory sticks aren't expensive at all.

And for edge and quadband get the K790, same phone but without the K800's 3G.

seriously mate, i have to listen to everything in mega base! its sounds soooo much better!

and on subject - i think its up to you, have you got enough money for the k800i? if so, do you need the camera + 3g? - if not, then go for the w810i to be honest i think the w810i looks like a toy with its plastic cover, but then again its still a brilliant phone.

also, another point - to play games such as motogp2 etc you really need to have a joystick. it is rather hard to slide from one side to the other with a d-pad. i haven't seen/used a k800i as of yet - and expect i probably never will, but i'm saying i don't know the quality of the k800i joystick, but if it is anything like the k700i joystick then i would steer clear of it. the k600i/k608i/v600i joystick is probably the best ever in my opinion.

hope this helps, and if anyone knows the quality of joystick, please tell!

Sony Ericsson had said they were going to improve the performance and durability of K800/K790's joystick by protecting it more from dust and dirt building up. but I don't know if they've kept their word on the final product.

Well this Sony doesn't have Megabass. I guess we should be happy that we have it on the W810.

I personally still fail to see the point of the walkman phones and certainly the walkman features don't give you anywhere near as much extra features over the non walkman music player than the cybershot gives you over the non cybershot

and I really don't like the orange either!

I'll take the K series anyday... infact... I did!

if u can afford the k800 go for it...
financially the one advantage w810 has is dat if ur gonna go out and buy a 512 mb card wid the k800 and hpm-70 head phones ur gonna have to spend extra...and dats on top of the price u have already paid for the phone..and wid w810 u get both these things in the package for a smaller price..

i kno im gonna buy the k790(k800's brother) when it comes out rather den w810..better screen, horizontal gamin, same mp3 player app., better camera wid real flash..ability to run two java apps simultaneously, etc. etc.
