W800 best on the market at the minute.

Just awaiting mine to be delivered.





Sony Ericsson W800i Details
The Sony Ericsson W800i Walkman is the first product on the market to combine mobile phone, digital music player and high quality camera. It looks the part too with easy to find music on the device and incredible sound quality.
As a 2.5G device, the W800 is intended for manual music transfer, instead of over-the-air downloads and this, for the time being may not be to everyone's liking

The Sony Ericsson W800i Walkman is also a 2 megapixel camera, and in line with Sony's other camera phones, nobody does it better. The photo light and snap on flash make it great for taking shots at night too. With plenty of storage for both music, video and images, the battery life has got to be top notch and so it is.

The 30 hours of music playback, 500MB Memory stick and two megapixel camera make it a high ranking contender in the prestige mobile phone catagory

But that W800 is hardly a good-looking phone, is it?
A lot of us just want a good quality/good looking phone that will go in the shirt pocket without ripping it off with the weight.

Yeah! that 8800 is following on from lessons learned from V3 design/feel.

Id hate to see your type of bird if you think that is not good looking

It is the same weight as 6230 i so unless your like the cnut off mr muscle you wont have problems.

Is just a tad bigger than the 6230 i also.

Got the K750i
Nice phone got plenty of toys mp3 player, movies, 1gb of memory (add in card)
2mp camera, bluetooth, infrared

Only critisism I have and dont know if anyone else got one has found the same, but when u take a picture there is a bit of a delay between pushing the button and when the phone takes the pic, sometimes a bit annoying but not too bad once u know about it.

I know what you mean there Steve. On my GF's it takes the pic and displays the image on the screen instantly and then for some reason jumps to about 1 second later and saves that one.

She says its slower when more memory is used up.

The SE w800's are very cool. Shame they are coloured like a tango can, I think it lessens the appeal to most but seriously I was blown away by a friends yesterday. Works really well, fast responses etc. and it makes calls!

Two people have said RAZR's are shit .. Phil ... But I didn't see any justification at all. Too pricey for the youngsters, or what?

samsung d500 is nice to look at but shite in the bluetooth area.. specially if you have a tomtom go 500/700 it will keep dropping the calls

Gotta disagree wih you there, I always thought that until 2 weeks ago I upgraded to a nokia 3230 that broke [turning itself off when trying to use applications] within 2 hours and button 6 stopped working , I ordered a replacement and that lasted almost a day longer .

I got the sony K750i instead which seems a great phone so far

I normally see these things as a gimick, but the camera on its awesome, better than my shitty digital camera in fact [apart from that annoying delay as mentioned above ]
