love my w800i - best phone i ever had but i am itching for a new one.
i want it to be a SE.
only problem is - w810i - barely an upgrade
- k800 - no light (!), new memory card format (just bought 2gb memstick)
- w950 - no camera (i take a LOT of photos)
- w900 - too big
shame, i'm itching to get a new unit but i aint buyin nokia *spit*
anyone else feelin this vibe? i feel that SE havent done their research here. the LED light is one of the best features on that phone and most users would have told them that.

That is a shame...
Cause if you take lots of pics then the K800i is just the phone for you. It has lots of features (it also practically is a Walkman phone (Disc2Phone and all that stuff exchept MegaBass).
If you think 1 GB memory stick micro is too little then wait and purchase a bigger one as soon as they are available, I bet it might take shorter than to wait for a new phone to be released 
Anyway, you can always safely store the pics you watch less on the PC and free up memory space.
In my opinion K800i is the best phone currently on the market for pic lovers and people who still don't want to loose the ability to take their music everywhere...
Cheers

i know - i really want to want the k800i, i would have camped outside the store to get it if it'd had an even more powerful LED or even better....an LED and a xenon flash. OMG that would have been good.
i do a lot of camping, clubbing, bumbling about in the dark. I'd say that i use that W800i light at least once every 2 days, my maglite hasnt left my room since i bought got it.
people are amazed by it.
ask anyone about their fave features on a k750/w800, for most peeps the light would be in their top 3......market research sony? |

I'd go for a W850. Same mem stick type, walkman-phone, etc.

w850 is pretty much same as w900 aint it?
too thick.
think i might just sit with the w800i - i love it.
i am just a little worried that sony never again do an LED light phone, will they go with the xenon flash for all future models? |

w810 is hardly an upgrade for the w800i. practically all the features are the same.

The W850i has the LEd light. It also has A2DP and a better Walkman player. It has 3G, music recognition and a bigger and better screen

I suggest you keep your w800 for a while... then wait for the 3.2 megapixel W series. |

keep ur w800i. Upgrade the drivers by using the hybrid music driver to significantly improve music quality to ipod killer status, buy a joystick cap to keep the dust off, buy a 3.5mm adapter (less coil than the original) and buy new headphones like the px100 (best portable audiophile headphones ever).

Just sit tight and wait for the next Cybershot phone... It should solve everything (hopefully)
