hi. i'm in a state of utter confussion. im buying a new phone in two months and im being given a p910 as a hand me down gift. the p910 is special so i cant sell it, and im selling my k700(vodaphone firmware) @ the end of the month. at first, i wanted a k750 but its so common here i changed my mind. the i was going 4 a w800 but my friend wants 2 buy it and i HATE having the same thing with friends. What do i do? i REALLY want a sony ericsson but i dnt knw any other affordable models...

My man, it sounds as though you have overlooked the gorgeous, K800. This phone is virtually brand new, and I don't know many people with it. Its very affordable, and usually free and most new contracts, so give it a look. If you don't live in a 3G area, then you can always try the K790 which instead of 3G has an EDGE system, the choice is yours buddy!
Good luck with the decision making!
Cheers

I can recommend the V800 (Z800 / V802SE in some markets).
With 1.3Mp camera, MSPD slot, 3G, and changeable covers, it's a big step up from the K700i - which I also had. It's old in some markets (ie: inexpensive) but stylish enough to still look up to date.
Downsides are no radio and poorer reception than K700i.

If you really wanted, and didn't mind the slightly worse camera without flashbut with the benefit of 3G, you could go for the K610. Red's pretty unique don't you think?

No, W550 and 600 doesnt have a memory slot.
I suggest you wait for a month or two for the W850, i'm doing the same. |

i've already enquired about the w850 and its REALLY going to cost a bomb when it gets here, and i need a new phne b4 november. Is there a different cover 4 w800? my friend wants 2 buy that phone, but if i buy it b4 him, he will get pissed @ me. and yes i am a teenager so it really does matter.....

Well the K610 music player is basically identical to the W550 and W800  players, minus megabass. Also, the W550s do not support memory cards.

The only other phone that I can think of is the Z550. Nothing else (from SE) that there is. Just reminding you that the K610 can work on a 2G network.
