      Does this phone use the same kind of memory card as the W800i? I am thinking of getting this phone and using the memory card from my w800i in it. Also whats the screen like in bright sunshine as my w800i wasn't very clear? Cheers.

              Omg, is there anyway to update the firmware without paying any fees? Will SE update it for you online for free just like Nokia..?

                CALL LOG ISSUE: it is fixed with the latest firmware.

                THEO: latest firmware is R1ED001 MR1 (master release 1)

                JIN: yes Wotan is fee based (7 euro). and no you don't have the latest firmware. the latest is R1ED001 MR1, which i have.

                Wotan releases new firmware before SE does.

                TEW: you can update to traditional chinese if you flash your phone with the latest firmware by selecting it in the language options.

                EVERYONE: go to wotanserver.com to update firmware (which fixes the bugs)/ debrand phone/ turn off camera sound/ increase SMS storage/ update EROM.

                If you have questions look in wotanforum.com

                Jay.

                        I AM IN DESPERATE NEED OF HELP! I JUST bought this phone, and made the mistake of plugging it in without inserting the battery into the phone, will this have ANY impact on the phone. I plugged the phone in, the screen turned white and then it turned off...I then put in the battery, and it began charging normally..I have kept it charging for the recommended 10-12 hours, and it looks fine. But will this have ANY impact on the overal performance of the phone? Someone please email me, and advise on what i should do...

                              It was hard to find a good phone that has good reception. I have gone though 4 phones in a year due to bad reception and this phone hasn't let me down yet.

                              The power life isnt to bad on it however it coud last longer though.

                              One of the things that stand out is that you can run multi applications at once eg. listen to MP3's or listen to the radio, while playing game or doing what ever you need to do.

                              Overall it's a good phone and all applications run quickly also the camera isnt too bad on it.

                                    oooops...

                                    your saying basing on the commenst with k8000 your not buying it?

                                    Read the comments for N73 from cnet.com and cnetasia.com and youll be suprised...

                                    K800i topped N73 with the sites ratings and user comments...

                                    but actually its up to u.

                                    cool?

                                      Really tempted to get this phone but going by comments here and elsewhere it sounds it has poor signal strength like most SE handsets. Might opt for the N73 just because Nokia have better reception.

                                        @TIM

                                        Yes - the phone charges using USB - if you do not have the drivers installe ( eg: inside the office ) u can use file transfer mode and it will charge.

                                        Yes again - It is detected as a mass storeage device when ur using file transfer mode - even if you do not have the software installed.

                                        When you connect ur phone to ur computer - it will show 2 folders on My computer - Phone and mem stick.

                                        Yes - you can actually just diable 3G by setting the network to just GSM.

                                        YES YES YES - it is A2DP! so its stereo - try using a Moto ht820 and it sound outrageously great. ive compared it to a N80 and man k800 sounds over a2dp rocks. I think N80 doesnt support A2DP.

                                        @Jack

                                        K800i wont be an ioption if ur looking for great speakers - but if u will be suing headsets ( wired or bluetooth - SE is great with sound )

                                        @Jay

                                        Wotanserver is fee based right? coz i tried it and its asking me to pay - the SE updater says it have the latest one - R1CB001
