Hi i wanna get some advice. My contract will be up soon on o2...I have had k700 and k750 but i really hate the stupid joystick. Is it really worth getting k800 and putting up with the jopystick for another year or change to W810 with D-pad?

I dun really care about camera quality.

Thanks

The K800i doesnt come with a memory card like the W810i does. It also doesnt come with the HPM-70 headphones. It does have 3G and a lot better screen though.

hi thanks for the info.

Im planning on contract so cost wouldn't be too much more on top right?

I just don't want to hassle of taking it to the repair store lol

It seems to be from what i read the joystick is still as bad as all the rest of the K series so don't really want it. And I didnt realise it doesn't have headphone and mem card :S

Prob go for W810 then

I had both, the joystik not as stupid as the other k's, while the D-PAD was more a let down due to its squeaky sounds, thou it vanishes after extreme usage, stil takes time thou. the only let down it doesn cum wif m2 stik, but other things far superior than w810, just my 2cnt op

Well if you get the K800 (and you don't care about camera), it'll be for the 3G and the screen. The screen is so much better than on the W810 though. The W810 is really just an all round device. Solid and reliable. Depends if you want to play Russian Roulette with your phone, regarding the joystick.

yeah had both too. The k800i does come with headphones, just not the walkman ones, go buy a set. The k800i has quite a bit more internal memory... well, in short its much better overall.... go for k800i

Regarding the size of the K800i, it's actually not that much bigger. Only a bit thicker, wider and longer. I have both, and there's not much difference.

The K800i feels much sturdier in your hand and it actually feels like you're holding something, hence, you won't drop it as easily Well, at least that's how I feel lol.
