Hello eveyone!
I was looking for an upgrade from my G502, but I ran into a "sticky" situation.
Basically I cannot decide which phone to choose since they all have there pros and cons!
The phones that caught my attention are:1)W910
2)W580
3)K810
4)Z770
And finally-W610!
What matters for me is that the phone UI is fast without lags(unlike my G502), and the loud speaker is somewhat good!
Thank you for taking your time to read this and reply!
W890i on it's way *happy face* |

Maybe, but I'm mostly interested in SE!
And I don't want to wait that long, because quiet frankly-I'm starting to HATE my G502 
I already predicted that w910 would lag, but now that you say it -I'll avoid it!
But I was kinda going for w610 second, so... |

You my friend obviously never heard of the W705. I am very supportive of this phone people so if you see me suggesting this in every thread sorry! The build quality if your lucky is great. The UI is pretty fast I never had a lag problem with it in the 2 or so weeks that I own it. Its a way better deal then the W705 its just the price might bother you. I mean it is pricier then the 610 but it is way better. |

Im quite sure he has, but if you havent noticed by now all these phones are under £80, obviuosly he is on a budget, and since you can't buy the w705 on PAYG you will be paying a lot more for a sim free handset |

W910- Quite fast now, pretty slick looking and pretty good price for an A2 phone (£80) with the same features as w995 minus the camera. You will also get a 1GB memory card as well, with good quality headphones, although this phone still restarts on Orange network but other networks seem okay.
W580- Slim and cheap (£50), fast A100 platform, craking keys are no longer an issue but the sliding coloured part at the back does fade away in time. The screen is really nice and bright, 512mb card not too good for music but enough for a 100+ tracks. The pedometer is the best feature, because on the wallpaper it shows you how many steps youve done and the speciall app included gives you rewards for the number of steps.
K810i- Best 3.2 snapper around, if you are into the camera all the other models listed fall hands down, the exeon flash is amazing and will make all night pics exceptionally good. A bit glossy though so it will smudge very easily. A100 platform though which is fast, but you wont get any nice options in picture gallery such as animated slideshows and smooth transitons, also music player is pretty bog standard.
Z770i- Best exterior, but just a G502 in a different fascia.
w610- Good phone for its time, but screen resolution is very poor, pictures wont look clear because of the poor screen quality, fast though, but would choose W580 over W610 as they are the same but w580 has amaing screen quality.
I would choose the K810 for photos, or W910 for A200 platform with slick media player |

K810i would have been the best option if it had loud speaker.  |

Hmm...
Thank you guys for responding so quick!
And in Latvia, w705 doesn't even exist(yet)
And if it did, it would be ridicously overprized!
I think if the w910 has a faster UI than my G502, then I'll be more than happy to buy it!
And also I heard it's the most moddable phone in A2 series! |

I agree, utter balls.
@bamaboy
How come you're restricted to this particular selection?

Read 10123's post!
That's basically the reason why I'm so interested into these phones only!
If you can name another great budget phone, then go ahead! |
