thats not true, i have owned a sony ericsson (W600) and that was the biggest piece of crap i have ever owned, modest battery, horrible camera, bugged UI (white screen of death, it restart the time/date if i turned the phone or sync sometimes, bugged tranfer software) the mp3 was not loud, the megabass distort the music, noise in the background, bluetooth sometimes did not work (it could find/connect devices) and even branded walkman?

Too bad. I have been waiting very patiently for this phone here (US with T-mobile) while still using my broken current phone. But now that the Nokia N93 is shipping, I think I will buy that one instead. I cannot wait any longer with no news as to when k790 will ship.

Look guys, You really have had to own both Samsung and SE to really understand which is better. This is unbiased. I owned the Samsung d820 and the SE w600i, samsung is NOT user friendly. You cannot personalize it nearly as much as SE. It also has very limited integrated mp3 player. Regardless of how big your memory card is, your only option is 4 diff play lists with a max of 30 songs per. Even in shuffle mode you can only play shuffle through 30 songs (one playlist)at a time. So please, don't compare the two.
READ: Do what you like, buy whichever phone pleases you, but know this... When you get an SE, YOU WILL NOT GO BACK TO ANY OTHER BRAND. I made the mistake of getting suckered by Samsung claims.. NEVER AGAIN.

PU2},.. please open your eyes,.. look at some of the comparisons of SE and Samsung here
SE advantages over Samsung:
Best Java Technology and a lot of APIs supported for more symbian like java applications will work on it plus it havs unlimited jar software size like symbians can offer,.. not to mention NVIDIA graphics support on P990i and Mascot 3d engine and 3D gaming API,.. no phone can overcome/beat that excellent feature except the Giant NOKIA Smartphones only.. i doubt SAMSUNG can withstand SE in Java games and Applications,.. SAMSUNG is very poor to that...
Have very good camera with or without autofocus, with 2 LED flash equipped in many SE IMAGING phones and the best is the RED LED locker and Xenon Flash autofocus is proven better than Samsung,.. (SE K800 Nokia N93 and Sharp 903/904 is far superior also than samsung p850 and Z710)
Have Very fast interface and very graphical desplay with 2-3D animation in menu navigation, in comparison to motorola and samsung.. better messaging functions than most phones(motorola,samsung)
the only thing SAMSUNG excels is the business design trends(not sport designs in which Nokia and SE excels much), bright screen and quality video, all other features is just copy from Siemems(SLIDER),NOKIA,and most of all SE, plus the are just making the saying best "camera phones?" for their beloved country Korea,..

Yeh, they don't even have this phone in Hong kong yet either, I actually want this phone so bad, but I have no use for 3G either, so K790 is best for me. But my opinion is that this phone when it comes out, will for sure be cheaper than K800i, cuz it's not 3G. I really hope SE releases this phone soon.

@ Gstank: I'm in the same boat as you, and I'm pissed! I have been waiting for this phone for months now, and ever since my w800i broke a month ago (i went swimming with it) a need for a good replacement has become urgent! even though i occasionally glance at other possible phones (samsung z560, d870, d830), I know i would always regret not getting a good old SE, k800i is right for me, except I need the k790i because 3G is of no use to me on T-Mobile USA, and I definetley need EDGE - I love using internet, especially for Google Local and Opera Mini. But k790i was supposed to come out shortly after k800i, and as I watch k800i prices drop below $500, there is still not a word on the k790i! Very frustrating, I hate my current (temp. replacement) nokia 6600! And even more frustrating, I know when the k790i comes out it's price won't be as low as the k800i since it will be new... I'll still have to wait a week for prices to drop once it finally comes out! argh why do you tease your loyal customers like this SE?
