hi there, i have a little problem, which i'm not sure anyone here will be able to solve... i'm from Croatia and i boght a vodafone branded K750i, but then i had that vodafone brand removed and i got a nice new K750i, without any of the ugly vodafone icons regarding the software (I still have the vodafone sign instead of Quick Share under the keys, but that's not important). Now, today i did the software upgrade via the SE upgrade service and it all worked out great and now i have the newest R1AA008 software. the only problem is i "lost" the Croatian language. Has anybody had this problem yet? Does anyone know how to bring my good-old mother-tongue back?

      the only difference is that you w800 has the so-called Flight Mode. It means that when you turn the phone on, you can choose to activate only the Media player, and it will behave like an ordinary mp3 player... and of course, you can watch videos in the Flight mode, also... I don't know if this varies from country to country but in Croatia w800 comes with a 512MB MS Duo card, whilst K750i comes "only" with a 64MB card... So the price difference in Croatia is around 100 euros...

        Guys,
        can v play real media files as they occupy very less space compared to the mp3 format.
        also is it possible to install real player (stereo) like the one in moto e1000 or 6630.

        can v open word DOCs and PDFs???
        pls share ur ideas on this.

        I have seen only the black version of it, is there any other color available?
        Thanx much n a Merry Xmas:)

                MMMMMM, OK man, thanks for the info. I'll just stick with my K750i standard headset for it works very very well for me. Actuallay I mind the bass and the treble -the melody & beat- the most in songs, the voice is pretty clear too and its differnce is minimal and will only be noticed if you turn all the equalizer sliders down to zero and left only the mid-range slider(s) -the voice sliders(s)- at mid. or max. level to tell the differnce, for that I prefer the K750i headset for it's better in producing bass at higher volumes, I don't use Megabass at all though for I'm sure it's not ment for this kind of headsets + it's treble isn't that rich and it needs quiet room.
                Note: plez don't forget to write your name next time. Thanks for the info again.

                No, it doesn't support WMA format whether as audio or video.
                No, you can only upgrade to the latest firmware to improve the video capturing bit rate but the low resolution will still the same.

                There is no differnce at all between them, only D750 is specially made for T.Mobile network. Check it's label in the front of the device instead of the QuickShare label.

                I'm not really sure about it, I don't recommend anyone to leave the bluetooth opened all the time, only turn it on when you need to use it, and of course you won't use it for 24 hours straight. No need to take that risk man, it will be safer if you charge it till it sayes fully charged then unplug the charger and use it till the last bit of energy inside it before charging it again even if it was at the same day.

                  hi..

                  i know it's unhealthy to overcharge the phone. but what if it's running and using bluetooth while it's charging? what i mean is, the battery status is full, but the charger is still in and bluetooth is active.

                  is it safe to leave my phone like this for many hours?

                        hmm... i don't know about the many different versions for W800 inearphone. Aniway, if you play it at max volume, the bass is "pixelated". What i mean is that even without the maximum volume, the inearphone already too loud for ear, so i dun need to put it into max volume. However, what i have found the real difference between W800's earphone and K750's earphone is the voice.

                        Before i bought the W800's earphone, i listen to my K750 almost everyday for pretty much the same song, so i got tuned with the music that i listen with K750. One day, i turned on my computer and listen the music that i used to listen with my K750 and i found that something different with the music. Then i go and compare them to find the something "little" different. Then i figure out that the voice produce by K750 has change slightly, thus it loose the effect of the originality of the voice character. With the W800's inearphone, the voice doesn't change that much and still preserve the original voice.

                        Of course there are also some major drawbacks however. With K750's earphone, you can use mega bass settings with full volume without even worried to find any pixelate sound. With W800's case, i found that the best settings will be normal setting with volume at about 90%. Thus, it will perform at its best surpassing the K750's earphone. One more... With the mega bass settings, i found that the sound change way too far, although it gives a very good bass sound. After all, it depends on each person to choose which one they prefer. For me, i prefer with the voice clarity and originality over the bass clarity.

                        This doesn't mean that i don't like K750's earphone. In fact, i am amazed with both earphone's performance, they perform very well. PS: both earphone are direct comparison with Ipod's earphone ^_^, so i am not regret at all to use K750 fully as a mp3 player.

                            Really ??? MMMMMM, maybe they got it improved from the first version, for it was way worse than K750i standard headset at max. volume. But K750i standard headset is also producing a very natural voice and instruments and even bass !, did you compare them with the same settings -volume and equalizer settings- ?? And are you sure that you've purshased the standard one of the W800i ?? They have several types of headsets you know.

                                  hey, i just bought the W800's inearphone... guess what? The quality is unbelievable... it improves the quality from the K750's original earphone. The voice is so natural, when i compare it with my computer's speaker, its not only produce the same quality of voice of the artist, the instrument also sounds alot better. This is really unbelievable for such a mobile phone. I haven't yet compare it with Ipod though, but my brother said that the inearphone from W800 is better than the inearphone from Ipod.

                                    Yes, you can copy/transfer videos/clips into K750i and watch them in full screen -with the screen horizontal not vertical-, they have to be in 3GP or MPEG4 (MP4) format though to be recongnized/played by the phone. I use MpegAble X4 Live! myself for conversion, you can get it from here:
                                    http://www.afterdawn.com/software/video_software/video_tools/mpegable_x4_live.cfm
                                    Also you can learn how to use it from here:
                                    http://3gp.spawnweb.dk/
                                    You'll need a serial key though, but you will still be able to convert without it, only a small bar of the program name will be on the lower corner of the converted clip if you converted without registration.

                                    jack
                                    Turn the phone into silent mode before opening the lens cover/entering camera mode, if that didn't mute the shutter sound then you'll have to live with it or just upgrade to a firmware of another country that don't use privacy laws.
                                    Yes, some did it and it worked well with them, they just voided the warranty of their devices and wasted the shortcut key for no such key in W800i so as its firmware, all for only a couple of hours of battary time difference, other than that, the same quality of everything in everything.

                                    Yes, this is all normal, you only format the data which you transfer/copy, but the other basic/pre-set files & folders -something like the MS RAM- will just remain there, you shouldn't worry about it, it's all normal.

                                    Keep it off for about 10 seconds, remove the battary then reinstall it and try to turn it on again, if it has switched on normally then it's normal to have such things in 1st couple of months -have the same in my 1st week-, if it didn't switch on then you have 2 options, 1st, take it to any SE customer service in your area, 2nd, go to SE web site and upgrade the firmware, I don't remember the whole procedure but it's very staright formward with hints of what to do next, just there is a page in which you choose between if your phone is functional or not, choose not and continue with the upgrading.

                                    You will have about 25 MB free space in your shared/internal memory + 64 MB bundled MS, can be upgraded to 128MB, 256MB, 512MB, 1 GB or 2 GB -it supports up to 4 G's but no such sticks in the market nowadays-, devide that total space -25MB average free space in shared memory + the space of MS which you can afford- by about 3.5 MB average of an MP3 to get the total amout of MP3's this mobile can take/hold.

                                    MP3's in 1st MP3 folder inside of the MS won't be identified for unknown reason, you have to copy the MP3's into the MP3 folder which is inside the Audio folder.

                                    You don't need all that, just insert the CD then click on Install PC Suite, that will install all the needed drivers to make the communication between the phone and PC. If you wanted to install the USB Cable Update Driver, just download & store it, switch off your phone, press and hold C key and make sure you press it tight, plug the USB cable and find new hardware will open, just point to where the update driver is and have it installed and you're done.
